How to develop habit of positive thinking?

I think in the "don't get your hopes up too high". When i'm in a tight spot, i just think about the worst case scenario so i can brace myself for the worst possible situation.

what my sister and I have learned- fake it till you make it. if you "pretend" enough you will start believing it or getting used to it. I rather not fake emotions, but my sister has been really happy the past few years, by just always trying to be in a happy mood. It is helpful to have a postive attitude, but in the long run, you have to be you

I have struggled with self-esteem issues for me where positive thinking wasn't so easy while in a bad moment....But not that I've had alot of support from friends, family and websights....As well as my councelor even tho I have a negative thought in my head I try to see the positive out of it....For example with getting over my broken heart I try to see the positive and happiness down the road as suppose to wollowing in the negative even tho I do let my feelings out about it I try to not let it affect me....Negatively that is....HappyMylotting.

I am a very positive person..maybe to much so sometimes. Postitive thinking has been somewhat of a survival skill for me. I have to see the bright side of things. It has helped me to get past alot of bad times in my life. I have been sad before but never without trying to see a way out of it.

It depends on many things. Most people need a good place to adjust self, when they see beautiful flowers which make them recall some nice memory, and they will have a good mood. What's more, we need to build a good relationship nearby and make some good daily habits as well as cook some delicious food to offer energy to our body so that we can enjoy our life well.

Yeah! you rightly said that a positive attitude helps lot in one life...but i'm fail to develop habit of positive thinking...When i surrounded by some critical situation it is difficult me to maintain positive thinking...it is not only my problem..my mom also have so much negative thinking...might be this is the reason that i also have same thinking...but i trying to develop positive thinking as it is said in "3Idiots " movie..."ALL IS WELL"...GOOD QUESTION DUDE...HAVE A NICE DAY...

I must agree with you on this subject. I am a very positve thinker and you know what even when its something bad I try to find the good in the bad. It works, with a little positve thinking and some critcal thinking. Things happy. I am taking Critical thinking in college now and its amazeing what I have learned.

I love frozenfire's comment. Fake it til you make it is my philosophy in life. One of the things that I do is that every morning when I get up, I write a list of things that I have to be grateful for and we all really do have a lot to be grateful for. Gratitude sets up my positive attitude for the day. When I have problems, I really just need to look outside myself. There is no problem that I have that is as bad as those that the poor people of Chile and Haiti are dealing with now. Their problems make mine seems insignificant.

Well, what I do when I sense a bad thought or negative feeling about to come up, I first think about if it's worth feeling bad about. Second, I'll let myself feel negative, BUT only for a few seconds or maybe two minutes. After that, I'm just torturing myself. And the negative thoughts just pass, and I'm not drowning in unnecessary negativity. It's also helpful if you think about the problem at hand. If it is something you have no control over, it's not worth losing positive feelings for. As the book says, "Don't sweat the small stuff, and it's all small stuff"

Actions results from ideas created by our thoughts. thus, positive thinking will help us have a positive outlook in life and a positive attitude toward anything that's happening. You're right, there are instances that you are tested and its really difficult to hold on to being positive. In cases like this, i try to analyze the situation, the extent of what I can possibly do to get out of it and seek God. This worked countless of time for it clears my mind, enable me to see hope and feel that life has still plenty to offer and enjoy.

We should think positively. Positive thinker can done a lot. We should make decision very rightly. If we have positive thinking our decision will be best resulted. We should make decision in the memory of God. One or two times it will be wrong. All the times right.

For positive thinking, you must have positive thoughts. Positive ideas breed and grow out of positive thoughts. One must sow the seeds of positive ideas quite early in life. Once such ideas take roots they sprout into positive thoughts. Your thinking develops into an attitude and attitude gives you a settled mode of behavior. Those who sow negative ideas reap the harvest of negative thoughts. In turn, they develop a negative attitude and their behavior and their approach too is negative. The parents, the teacher and the environment help to sow the right seed in the childhood itself. Once a person has developed a negative attitude, it is difficult to correct it. He would always tend to think negatively first and then try to steer it into a positive direction. It is giant task and people, more often than not, are unsuccessful in doing it.

It is quite easy actually but in order to do it we must have great discipline and faith.. we human are givens brains and thoughts to figure some thing out.. just be rationale and naturally it will lead you to [positive attitude... and to think positive is to have a good moral value.. have a good grasp of what is good and bad...then you will know if you are doing good things or otherwise

Hi, common man! It's not easy to develop a positive attitude, but it's well worth the effort. Life is so beautiful, if only we accept is as such! Things are far more likely to go as we wish if we can maintain positive thoughts, too!

There are two types of attitudes. One is positive and second is negative. Attitude means your approach to see the situation. You have a problem and you have to come out from that problem. Then if your approach to that problem is positive then you will surely come out from that problem or situation. But if it is negative then you will find very difficult to overcome the problem. So every thing depends on your attitude. The person who has positive attitude will become a successful person in the life. you are correct. Positive thinking helps you looking at the positive side of the situation/problem. So be positive, you will enjoy the life in better way. Every incedence have two sides. Try to see the better side of that and you will see that you can enjoy the situation.

Positive thinking is that the world we live to become positive. If positive thinking, can not be negative for positive thinking become that positivity. When you're positive you can not be negative and negative moods anything I can reach so you do not attract. They say about some people that would attract any misfortune. It's pure chance? But if you look closely you can see that people behave in a largely negative. In the presence of a man who thinks he's defeated you can not feel safe. It might lose, the winner and full of attitude can always trust the man to succeed. Our mind is like a giant magnet that attracts to us right thinking about all the time.

Take a situation and give it a positive and negative thought. In other words list down the positive and negative side of that situation and dwell only on the positive side. With practice you will be able to think positively.

Thinking positive way can develop and neglect negative things can improve our thinking.The person who are positive can success in their life and they are free of tension and worries.Think always good deed in mind can develop the habit.
