6 ways to promote positive thinking

-

 

1. Identify the negative thoughts that you typically have

It is easy to not realise or to shrug off negative thoughts that take place in your mind, which is why it is important to spend time catching yourself when you have a negative thought.

2. Start your day on the right side of the bed

Be sure to start your day with positive thoughts instead of negative ones.  
Start your day with thinking about some of the great things you will get to do that day or some of the things that you are looking forward to getting to do that day.  

3. Stay healthy

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle through exercising and eating right can help relieve stress and therefore lessen your chances of negative thinking occurring.
Make sure that you are getting enough sleep (the average is around seven to eight hours of sleep per night), exercising at least three times a week, and eating healthy.
In general, doing these things can help bring on a more positive mood and therefore increase positive thinking.

4. Give yourself daily affirmations

Daily affirmations are positive and encouraging statements that you say to yourself, for example “I will have a great day, today,” or “I have unlimited potential.”
A great way to hear or get daily affirmations is through apps, some popular ones include: Unique Daily Affirmations, ThinkUp, and #lovepioneer by Jennifer Kass.

5. Surround yourself with positive people

Surrounding yourself with positive friends can lead to positive thinking and an overall more positive mood.
Positive friends can also give you the encouragement and support that you need when experiencing rough or negative times in life.  

6. Assess situations differently

Start taking situations that you were originally looking at negatively and putting a positive spin on them.

By:   Deborah Brown Have you given up on your dreams? Would you like to get them back? Many of us give up on our dreams. Often our dreams slip away without our even realizing it. Our dreams are who we are. They give us an incentive to get out of bed everyday. They are the reason we were born, and our destiny to fulfill while we are here. They are within your grasp.

7 Effective Ways to Develop Your Negotiation Skills

1. Practise Saying ‘No’ Human beings are programmed to be non-confrontational. From a young age, we’re taught to follow orders or else get punished, and as adults, we’re taught the same thing. Time and again, we’re told to ‘let it go’ and ‘just go with the flow’ so we don’t upset the client or the boss. This lifelong habit of avoiding confrontation and just saying ‘yes’ weakens your negotiation skills. But not to worry; you can still reprogramme your mind by practising saying ‘no’. You can start with something small like going home on time or refusing to work extra hours, especially if you’re already raking in too much overtime. If that seems like a big step for you, then you can start by saying ‘no’ to that annoying colleague who loves sabotaging your healthy eating habits by tempting you with a piece of chocolate cake. These might seem like small steps, but taking the opportunity to say ‘no’ to minor instances will help you say ‘no’ to bigger things – whether it’s
