Think Positive Thoughts

Life delivers constant challenges, adversities, pressure, and pain, there's no disputing that. We seem to forever have something on our mind that concerns and worries us, whether it be our children, our job, our financial situation, our health, our relationship, our lifestyle, or whatever it may be. It's like we manage to solve one problem, to free our mind, and another one pops up almost immediately. Much of the time, the circumstances and situations we find ourselves in, are as a result of our past decisions, yet are within our control, meaning we simply need to make further decisions to resolve the issues we are confronting. Other times, there are circumstances and situations we find ourselves in that are beyond our control, and we are powerless to change or impact. Either way, both these set of circumstances and situations can cause us immense stress, even to the point where it begins to have a negative impact on our health, especially our mental health. So how do we combat stress? How do we relieve ourselves of all this mental pressure that builds up? The first thing to do is to assess whether the cause of our stress is something we have the ability to change. It may be that we are desperately struggling to pay our bills, and we never seem to have enough money, a common issue for many people. The question is, what are we genuinely doing about it? Are we seeking ways to be generating a higher income? Are we stepping out of our comfort zone and asking for help? Are we genuinely living within our means? There's never an easy road out of adversity, and it's entirely up to us to overcome it. If that means making decisions and executing actions that are uncomfortable, awkward, difficult, risky, and even those in which others do not approve, then so be it. If we have the power to overcome the adversity, then that's the only way to remove the stress it is causing us.

If what's causing us stress is genuinely out of our control, such as our partner up and leaving us, or getting laid off from our job, or a family member being diagnosed with terminal cancer, then why give these circumstances energy? It's not to say we can't express natural emotion, such as grief, hurt and sorrow, nor to shy away from doing what we can to help the situation, but we need to focus our mind back on the things we can control in life. It's not easy by any means, but the only result from focusing on things we can't control, is further unhappiness, stress, hurt, and pain, and that's in no way beneficial to either us, nor anyone else, because we become a bad version of ourselves. Refocus your mindset back on your goals, and back on your future, ensuring that your actions revolve around continuing on the path to success, happiness, and fulfillment. Finally, think positive thoughts! Again, easier said than done, but it comes down to training our minds, engaging in personal development activities daily so we can strengthen our minds to better cope with such dire situations. I can vouch that it actually works. It takes time, but strengthening our mind is the best form of daily training we can do for our entire body. Despite all that's going on around you, pause and think of all the things to be grateful and appreciative of in life, no matter how minor you may believe them to be. You will be surprised how blessed you truly are in life, if you just took a moment to appreciate the things you take for granted every day. To relieve yourself of stress, make sure you take time out for yourself each day, just to sit in silence, breathe deeply, and just relax, meditate even. Give your mind a breather, let go of what you can't control, focus on what you can control, assess the changes you need to make, the decisions you need to make, and the actions you need to make, and then get started on them. Focus on your goals, and designing a future to your desire. Above all, think positive thoughts!
