I suppose that no matter who you are, obstacles and challenges will be thrown in your way. Stressful situations happen to everyone, but the way in which you act under pressure defines who you are. Do you view sticky situations with a “why does this happen to me?†attitude or do they motivate you to change and take action?
The secret to keeping calm, cool, and collected during stressful times is to view problems with as opportunities for growth instead of with a defeatist outlook. Thinking positive thoughts during a stressful situation is the key to keeping your sanity intact! In fact, the way we view a problematic event in our lives affects both our physical and emotional health. People who have a more positive attitude will experience less stress and generally be much happier.
In
lieu of a 12-Step Program for negative thinkers, these insights
have helped me feel a lot less helpless in uncomfortable
situations:
- Try not to act
helpless in the face of adversity. Be the master of your own
destiny and take action!
Don’t wait around for someone else to come help
you.
- When a negative
though crops up, turn it off immediately. You can counter bad
thoughts and feelings by using some positive visualization and
concentrate on something that makes you happy.
- Argue with your
negative thoughts by proving yourself wrong. By countering any
negative beliefs with positive
thoughts , you will avoid being stuck in a
rut.
- Understand that there are some things you cannot change and some you can. If what is making you unhappy is something you can realistically change, then take the steps to change it.
Remember
that being a more positive
person involves thinking clearly and not
jumping to the worst possible conclusion. Even repeating
“everything will be fine†can work
wonders for a frazzled mind! So think positive and trust in
yourself!
