How to become a positive person in 3 steps

[Anonymous]

Step 1: Learn to notice the small positive things

Think about when you get into bed in the evening after a hard day, when a delicious cup of coffee warms your body in the morning, the taste of the dessert your friend made for you, the feeling of your favorite sweater against your skin ... there are thousands of nice little details hiding in a day, but we are often in too much of a hurry to pay attention. So start by focusing on these moments of pleasure and enjoy them.

Step 2: Activate the positive

Now that you've gotten into the habit of enjoying little positive things, you can take the ritual a step further. Take a photo every day of something that makes you happy. This habit forces us to activate our "joy seeker" mode.

Step 3: Overcoming the blues

Little things can help to quickly overcome the blues that we all experience from time to time:

• Cooking/baking: there's nothing like preparing your favorite dish to cheer up. And if the cooking part doesn't work, the tasting part will definitely make you smile!

• Take a shower and brush your teeth: if you're feel low, the simple act of taking a shower and brushing your teeth can sometimes be enough to cheer you up.This tip brings back a feeling of freshness, the impression of being more awake and of being ready to start a new day.

• Listen to your favorite music: a little tired ? A bit sad ? Music always evokes strong emotions, so use this incredible tool to cheer you up. To ward off negative feelings, you can even prepare your "Happiness" playlist in advance.

• Get some fresh air: scientists have long proven that fresh air and the presence of nature can boost morale and develop creativity, unlike being curled up in front of a computer screen. You don't have to go for a long a hike, a simple stroll in the park often clears your mind and eliminates worries.

• Help someone in need: charity always triggers positive emotions. First, out of empathy for the person being helped, but also because it goes back to self-esteem and the feeling of doing something good. Donate a few dollars to a charity, give a sandwich to a homeless person, take the time to help an elderly person get on the bus ... a small gesture is enough.

• Smile: lots of research has shown that if a happy state of mind triggers a smile, the opposite is also true. By smiling, the neurons immediately receive a positive message. So try this tip which only takes a second, but that makes a huge difference to your mood.

• Call a loved one: when your day doesn't go as planned, the feeling of loneliness when facing problems is often what leads to depression. A phone call to a loved one will remind you that you are not alone and will help you to feel better.

I like being a negative person though... :P

jk... but I don't view "positivity" the same way many people do these days. I see "negative" moods + emotions as being instructive in their own way. We evolved feelings like fear, guilt, sadness, and shame because they helped us survive and to integrate into cohesive societies. If we only experienced positive emotions, all the time, then we'd develop a shallow sense of self that doesn't know how to handle hardship and setbacks. The human organism is the most complicated thing in the known universe, who knows what our bodies might be trying to teach us when negative emotions are produced.

having said that, for general wellbeing, I agree with a lot of your latter points. A cold shower especially can really hit the 'reset switch' on one's emotional state. :)

I think you mentioned some good points, but becoming more positive is much more complicated than 3 steps.

Step 1: Accept that life is not as overly serious/important as we've made it seem.
Step 2: Accept that life is not as overly serious/important as we've made it seem.
Step 3: Accept that life is not as overly serious/important as we've made it seem.
Step 4: Get plenty of sleep and don't drink coffee or use anything to force yourself awake.
Step 5: Don't ever make the assumption that others see life the same way you do, ever.

I got one step. Think positive thoughts even when you don’t want to. Also cheering your team on does help. Scientifically proven that positive words of reinforcement even when it’s not true makes people perform better and vice-versa. You words can impact people depending how easily they accept them.

1. Try to be in solitude everyday for a while.
2. Love everything nature has given. Everything means every organism including, human, insects, birds, animals.
Then develop and harness love and you will become happy and content.
3. Read books from great authors. That will complete you. You will become quite mature which is an instinct of a positive person.
