Four simple ways to stay positive
Trying to stay positive, both in good times and bad, is a great way to improve your quality of life. Try these four methods on a daily basis.
Don't think a lot about negativity.
Of course, staying positive 24 hours a day, seven days a week is a bit difficult. Letting things get to you is normal, and it's actually healthy to cry or express frustrations once in a while. It's when those negative moments control your life that your emotional balance is at risk. However, don't give that sadness another second in your day.
What you put into your body directly affects how you feel on the outside. Fill yourself with good, healthy foods like fruits and vegetables and limit snacking. Exercise is equally of great importance. Take a few days out of your week for at least a half an hour of activity, and try to stick to a routine.
Be kind to others.
Making someone's day a bit brighter not only puts a smile on his or her face, but also yours as well. Remember to smile and treat each person with pity and respect. Good deeds are contagious (传染的), and your positive attitude may spread among others.
Take it one day at a time.
Being positive isn't an instant thing. It's a steady effort that we follow every hour of every day. Instead, focus on living in the moment and doing what you can to make each moment better.
A. Eat healthy and stay fit.
B. Take your lunch breaks outside.
C. Don't worry about what the future may bring.
D. Gratefulness helps you appreciate life in bad times.
E. Good feelings come from acts of kindness and selflessness.
F. Take a few minutes to feel sad and accept what happened.
G. Even going outside for a walk and enjoying the sunshine improves your mood.
To forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.
{#blank#}1{#/blank#}Try the following steps:
Calm yourself. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. Don't wait for an apology.
