Think Happy Thoughts!

I too have been stressed and beginning to think negatively though I think a lot of mine is due to the fact that I cannot find a job in this horrible recession and I am watching my bills pile up and my children's happiness suffer from our government's mistakes. I have begun bike riding and walking to get things off my mind. A lot of times the exercise also helps me to come up with ideas to help reduce the stress.

Positive thoughts come with negative thoughts,whom to blame.When a person has no hick ups or any sorts of troubles regarding his daily activities ,then the very next moment,he/she is targeted with bad and sad kinds of thoughts. People have even started therapies to be with the happy thoughts and make themselves always feel younger and better.Positiveness can always be with us with a smile for of all on our face.The bad feeling for other needs to be thrown off,just simply say a sorry of any one has made you feel dis comfortable. The real attitude is always hidden somewhere in us and we don't actually enhance it for our nourishment.

I have panic attacks quite often too. I even went to the doctor and got Xanax, but I don't like to take it. The way I deal with the negative thoughts is I stop them in their tracks. Whenever I start to think negatively, I make myself stop. I tell myself I'm walking through the wrong door and I have to turn around. It usually works for me. I just keep repeating -wrong door - wrong door. It helps! I hope your hard times end soon.

The main solution is to not worry or be afraid of the problem. I prefer to listen to good and happy songs. Lately I have been singing. And it seems to help. Sometimes moving away from all the stress can help. A nature walk can help. If you have some good friends spend some time with them.

Hi there mylotters, Yes think a happy thoughts. you have already knew that way. so you keep strong to focus on that happy think. Just relax to face your problems. Think that not only you had a problem in this world..:) I'm sure you can do it. Good Luck

hey there. I sympathise with you and understand how stressful anxiety attacks can be both physically and emotionally. I used to get them a lot and remember how terrifying they can actually be. It is great that you want to try and work on being more positive and calm. Have you tried meditation? It takes a while to switch off from all the crap running around in your head but if you stick with it can really help. It will take time so dont be put off if it doesnt work straight away. I would not suggest meds as they just numb you and are difficult to come ff as you can become addicted. Try to focus on all the good things you have and love when you start to feel stressed and anxious. Focus on your breathing and block out all those negative thoughts. I wish you lots of luck!

Whenever I am stressed out and think there's no way out, I'll take a deep breath, chanting everything will be alright. Praying makes me calm too. If it's a problem that you can't solve on your own, you can talk to someone you can trust like your parents, your friends, etc and you will feel better by sharing. Not to mention, they might be able to help you out. Asking for help is a brave move, don't be afraid to try.

Wow, how i wish i can do that as well. but sometimes, problems aren't easy to just deal with. I know something from this discussion, always smile and be positive, even when things gone horribly wrong. well, for me my advice would be, have faith and be strong

This is not surprising. Everyone had a species of feeling. Because people would think. Every day a lot of things to do. No matter who takes the pressure. Or the work or the community... Or do not know the reason pressure. If you have this feeling Do not panic. Take a deep breath yourself. Consider in what way to relieve stress. Do you like most to do, eat your favorite food to eat, do you usually want to do not dare to do. Ease yourself down..Everything will be better.

Of course we need to look to God for all our strength. There is a movie called "The Secret". It is about positive thinking. My hubby and I watched the movie about 2 months ago. We have been going through some challenging times with everyday life, our jobs, etc. Thank goodness we have each other and we have the love of God in our lives. Anyway with this movie it shows how positive thinking attracts positive results and how always thinking negative will attract negative results. We challenged ourselves to always look at the positive in each situation (yes, there is always a positive result in every situation). He was much better at it than I was. As you mentioned it is very difficult to change the way you think. I could not believe the change I saw in him. The calmness, the serenity. It was awesome. Unfortunately it did not last long because it is difficult. I guess you could say we are back into our daily grind again. Although we place our faith in God we still struggle daily to keep a positive attitude. Thanks for posting your discussion. It just reminds me of how I need to focus on all positives.

I don't think it is always possible to just 'be happy' - for example if you have depression people telling you to 'snap out of it' is the most frustrating thing in the world'. But I do think you can choose your outlook for the day, and choose your reaction and thoughts about various things to a great extent. And if you are feeling bad you can tell yourself that it will pass. Don;t avoid the feelings, just feel them. Because in most cases they do pass and I think you get through it quicker if you go 'yes, I'm sad but thats ok' for a few minutes, process it and move on, rather than running around going 'I';m happy, I'm happy'if you know you're not!

I'm struggling with the same demons, sweetie. I could play lip service and tell you, listen to happy music, look at happy photographs, happy videos, watch funny movies and shows. Ultimately, you have to find your inner strength to overcome the blues.

pray and pray and pray. always look on the brighter side of life. don't let stress ruin your life. fight stress. and i suggest that you go with your friends when u feel stressed. ok, have a nice day! ;)
