Everything in life is perspective, you can see the world in a glass half full situation or a glass half empty. It really just depends on how you want to view the world. This change in perspective can do wonders for a person because if they view everything in a negative way then they are bound to see poor results in anything they do. On the contrary, if you view everything in a glass half full situation and are more of an optimist you can be more open to keeping improving your situation. If you are surrounded by people who affect your mood in a positive way then just simply changing your view will be easier.
Relying on people to give you happiness is certainly a wrong way to view things because that means you aren’t owning up to your responsibility of dealing with your emotions rather relying on something that you can not control which is another people in this case. Being happy and learning to see everything in a positive comes from within. Leveraging your views on the world and seeing your world view in a positive light comes from being happy and content with yourself. Only then will you be able to be happy and take negative situations and extract the good from them. In order to do this one way of making your self feel better is making a list of all the blessing you have in your life and really appreciating everything you have. This sometimes means embracing and appreciating the negative situations because you know that there is some good in that bad.
- Learn to Believe In Yourself
In order to find happiness, true happiness you must first have the belief that times will get better and having the confidence in your self that you can push through this situation. Hearing compliments from time to time can be a real mood booster but you shouldn’t rely on these for your happiness since again this becomes a situation where one seeks vanity flattery instead of true happiness and improvement. This isn’t always as easy as it sounds since not everyone or every time someone will recognize what you have done. But again this shouldn’t matter to one since this is something you are doing for yourself and no for anyone else
- Spend Time Outdoors
More often than not people tend to spend most of their time indoors on weekdays since they are either working behind a computer screen or back at home. It is very well known and studies have proved it that spending time outdoors increases and boost positivity. Boost morale and relieves stress. This will also help switch off and disconnect from the daily stresses of work life. So the more time you spend outside the better you will likely feel and the better quality of life you will have. It truly is the little things in life.
4. Accept Failure
Failure. Such a scary term from some people. Early on we are taught that failure is bad when in reality is it a good thing. How is a failure a good thing you might ask? Well, failure is the best teacher because it teaches you what you did wrong. Success is a bad teacher because it doesn’t force you to look for improvement. Failure is something we will all experience at some point in our lives and that is ok. Knowing that you are going to fail but are going to learn from it is a lot better than failing and repeating the same mistakes over and over again. The key to this is knowing that after you fail at some time it is not the end of the world rather you must take this opportunity and direct the problem so you can bounce back even better. So don’t run from failure, know that you will experience it and bounce back better.
- Take Full Responsibility
Did you know that negativity is sprung from some bad situation and we fail to accept that it was our fault this has happened. Taking responsibility of all of our actions is the best thing one can do because that forces us to take control of the situation and make the best out of everything because it is on us to improve the situation. This can be easier said than done, we usually want to blame someone else for our shortcoming or negative results but if we force our self to take ownership of the situation we are forced to come out on top.
Take Time To Chill Out
Maintaining a positive outlook on life is a task in of itself but it is essential to do if you want to continuously improve and get to where you want to be in the future. That is what life is all about, about improving getting better every day just 1% better every day. But that also means we run the risk of burning out and crashing. It happens to everyone so one great solution to this is actually everyone’s favorite solution. Taking time to go on vacation and forcing your self to wind down and reflecting on the good and the bad. It is your time to relax and rest so you can come back better than ever. So get after it!
