Thoughts can be our best friends or our worst enemies, their direction depends only on us. Thoughts have an incredibly powerful impact on our lives, our emotional stability and our overall vitality.

In this article, we will look at several methods that will help us stop thinking negatively and start thinking positively. 1. Thank yourself for what you have. One of the simplest and most effective ways to start thinking positively is to practice gratitude for what we have. Focus your attention on what you have today, not on what you don't have. Your health, family, friends, work, achievements are all good reasons to be grateful. Associate with positive people When we are surrounded by people who think positively and support us, we ourselves begin to think positively. Connect with people who have a positive outlook on life and inspire you. Take care of your physical and emotional well-being. Taking care of your physical and emotional well-being will help you start thinking positively. Take time for your health, quality rest and favorite activities. When you feel good, you open the door to positive thoughts. Ask yourself the right questions When we face difficulties, we often start asking ourselves negative questions. How did this happen? Why couldn't I? Instead, ask yourself positive questions: What can I do to make things better next time? How can I learn a lesson from this situation? Keep Notes Keeping notes will help you analyze your thoughts and stop thinking negatively. Write down your thoughts and emotions and figure out what triggers your negative thoughts. Change your thinking Negative thoughts usually come from negative thinking. Change your mindset and start thinking positively. For example, if you think, “I will never be able to do this,” replace it with “I haven’t learned it yet, but I can if I work hard at it.” Practice self-awareness Practice self-awareness stop for a moment, accepting yourself and your thoughts as they are. Understand what causes negative thoughts in you and learn to replace them with more positive ones. Seek Help If you can't stop thinking negatively on your own, seek professional help. Psychologists and coaches can help you understand your thoughts and learn to think positively. In conclusion, starting to think positively may be difficult, but it is quite possible if you are willing to work on yourself and improve your life. Associate with positive people, improve your well-being, ask the right questions, keep notes, change your thinking, practice self-awareness, and ask for help if needed. Your thoughts can become your best allies, helping you achieve all your goals and dreams in life. Sincerely, your psychologist, interpersonal relations specialist, Sergey Anatolyevich Krichevsky.
