Developing Positive Attitude

"All wrong-doing arises because of mind. If mind is transformed can wrong-doing remain?" Buddha




There are days, when nothing seems to be going right, days when you wake up worrying about your future. We are human beings and I believe its okay to be sad and cry at times. Being positive is not about having negative thoughts at all, but about how easily you forgive yourself and get back on your feet again. We all have the good and bad in us, the negative and positive energy, like yin and yang, light and shadow; the challenge is to recognize the good , and nurture it and to weed out the negative thoughts consistently. Here are some facts that will help you become positive. Remember ;Happiness is just an emotionand it is impossible for you to be happy all the time.

Mental good health is not being positive all the time or smiling all the time, but how quickly you recover from all the negativity. Spirituality and mental health go hand in hand and you have to always keep on practising it. Move ahead like flowing water and you will be clear and clean, be still and stuck in your negative thoughts and you will be stagnant.



Sit and breathe - just focus on breathing - I can't do this for than a minute , but its reassuring to know that if you are breathing, you are alive and if you are alive the possibilities are endless.



Practicing gratitude is most important, count your blessings everyday, right from the food you eat to the people you interact with to every single breath you take.



Forgive yourself Remember we are humans, its okay to be sad, to cry , to cleanse away all your pains. And after you are done with crying, being angry and when you are ready , try the above steps to get faith back in your life.



Everything is in your head - if you can control the train of your thoughts you can conquer anything.



Sometimes its better to go with the flow - trying to hard to change your situation can lead to frustration.



Patience is a very underrated virtue and goes hand in hand with faith.



Positive attitude can only be developed if you practice gratitude, have faith and realize that you are not the only one suffering and of course practicing kindness and altruism helps too.
