Hello, you

We all have thoughts that constantly repeat themselves in our minds.

 These thoughts have a great impact on our decisions, relationships and the direction of our lives, as Lao Tzu rightly said.

Unfortunately, many times these thoughts are negative; we wrap ourselves in a dark cloud and see only the bad.

 This negativity can affect our lives in a self-destructive way, as our thoughts have the power to attract both positive and negative outcomes.

 That's why it's important to change our perspective and strive to think more positively.

 Although it may seem simple, there are six steps that can help us to profoundly change the way we see the world for more satisfying results.

 These steps are: being grateful, practicing positive visualization, focusing on finding solutions, controlling our internal dialogue, surrounding ourselves with optimistic people and adopting a growth mindset. By developing a more positive mindset we can reap happiness and fulfillment.

Practice gratitude

 If you want to change your negative and disillusioned mindset, I suggest you make a list of all the things you can be grateful for.

 You can start by being thankful for having a paying job, a cozy home and a comfortable bed every night. You can also appreciate the sun that rises every morning, the friendly waiter who greets you with a smile or the dear people in your life. Don't forget to appreciate your own body as well, for it is because of your body that you can enjoy each day.

 Practicing gratitude can have an immediate impact on how you view life. I would recommend keeping a record of your blessings, even if it's digitally, to constantly remind yourself of all the positive things you have.

 Another effective strategy is to find someone to share this practice with: someone with whom you can walk together toward more positive thoughts.

Each day you can send each other text messages or emails sharing three things for which you feel grateful to each other.

 This person can become your partner in maintaining a healthy and helpful mindset.

Moving forward on your path

 It is not easy to stop negative thoughts, but with practice, you can do it. It is important that you identify your thought patterns and reflect on them.

Do you notice if you are very critical of yourself, your relationships or even your work?

 Try replacing those negative thoughts with two positive affirmations or expressions of gratitude. This will allow you to take two steps forward after taking one step back. Also remember that the process of change takes time and patience with yourself.

 Don't get discouraged if you don't get immediate results. Put in the time and effort, and you will see the changes in the long run.

Keep a positive attitude

 The mind and body are closely related and have a significant impact on each other.

 If you find yourself struggling to adopt a more optimistic mindset, I suggest you start by moving your body.

 Try straightening your posture, keeping your shoulders back and your chin up. Stretch your arms as far as possible.

 By doing this, you can feel stronger and generate more positive thoughts. This "positive posture" can also help improve your mood.

 In addition, studies indicate that practicing yoga can help improve mental health by relaxing both the body and mind.

 If you find it difficult to maintain a positive attitude throughout the day, it's okay to feel down at times. In these cases, I would recommend reading this article I wrote some time ago: It's okay to feel defeated even if everyone tells you to stay positive.

Learn to smile

 Smiling is a powerful tool you can use to improve your mood and trick your mind into being more positive. Even if you don't have a specific reason, simply forcing yourself to smile can have an immediate impact on how you feel.

 I invite you to try this technique in different situations in your daily life: while working at your desk, driving your car, or walking down the street. See how your mind reacts to this simple act.

 Also, don't underestimate the effect a smile can have on others. Try smiling at someone as you walk down the hallway and you might be pleasantly surprised to see how that person smiles back - it might even change your whole day!

The dynamics of the crabs in the bucket

 When a crab is alone in a bucket, it can escape without problems. However, when another crab is added to the same bucket, neither can make it.

 In this case, one of the crabs trying to escape is pushed down by the other crab inside the bucket. This teaches us the importance of surrounding ourselves with positive people.

 It is difficult to maintain a positive outlook if we are constantly affected by the negativity of friends, family or co-workers. If you find yourself stuck in a negative conversation, try to gracefully change the subject to something more positive.

 However, if you find that you are surrounded by a lot of negative "crabs," it might be time to reconsider your social circle and seek to be surrounded by individuals who push you and inspire you to grow.

Do something nice

 It is surprisingly easy to fall into our own sphere of problems and neglect those around us. Taking time to help others can give us a new perspective, full of hope and energy.

 So strive to do kind acts every day. Offer words of encouragement to someone in need, congratulate a stranger, work with your coworkers at work, or participate in the community of people who pay it forward in line at Starbucks.

 Life is not always easy and sometimes presents us with difficult situations. However, our attitude determines whether we face life with bitterness or turn those obstacles into opportunities. Let's remember that there are many ways to help others and that every small kind gesture can change the world.

Need new friendships?

I interviewed a colleague to get his point of view.

 I interviewed a colleague, Dr. Carlos Sanchez, a psychologist specializing in personal development and interpersonal relationships.

 "Being aware of your thoughts is the first step to cultivating a more positive attitude. Often, our minds are filled with self-criticism and automatic negative thoughts. It is critical to learn to identify these negative patterns and replace them with more constructive thoughts.", was the first thing Dr. Sanchez told me when I consulted him about this article he was writing.


 Next, Dr. Sanchez shared six practical tips to foster positivity in our daily lives:

1. Focus on the good:

 "Gratitude is a powerful tool for shifting our perspective to the positive. Each day, take a moment to reflect on three things you are grateful for. This will help you focus on the good in your life and generate positive emotions."

2. Watch your language:

 "The words we use have a significant impact on the way we think and feel. Try to eliminate the use of negative or limiting words from your vocabulary and replace them with more positive terms. This will change your perspective and help you attract people with a similar attitude."

3. Practice self-compassion:

 "Accept your mistakes and failures with compassion for yourself. We all make mistakes, but it is important to remember that they do not define our worth as people. Treat yourself with kindness and understanding, as you would a close friend."

4. Surround yourself with positive people:

 "The people we surround ourselves with have a significant impact on our mood and outlook. Seek out the company of positive, motivated individuals, as their contagious energy will help you maintain an optimistic attitude."

5. Seek out activities that make you happy:

 "Identify activities that bring you joy and personal satisfaction, whether it's reading, exercising, painting or spending time outdoors. Spend time regularly on these activities to increase your levels of happiness and overall well-being."

6. Cultivate empathy:

 "Practicing empathy allows us to connect more deeply with others and understand their perspectives. This not only improves our relationships, but also helps us develop a more positive attitude by seeing the world from different points of view."

 With these practical tips from Dr. Carlos Sanchez, we can begin to cultivate a more positive mindset and attract people who share our optimistic outlook on life.

 Remember, being positive not only benefits us individually, but also contributes to creating a healthier and happier society.
