I have no explanation as to why it is human nature to focus on the negative. It is amazing to me that most people can tell you what is going wrong for them more often than what is going right. It's weird isn't it that what feels bad comes up first instead of what feels good.
This of course is a habit that many have acquired over a lifetime. It could be a learned behavior from parents or just a loop that we keep repeating over and over.
- What if we chose to talk about what is going right in our lives?
- What if we made sure our conversations were upbeat and positive?
- What if we chose to focus on feelings that bring us joy?
I would challenge you to sit down and write out what has gone right for you in the last year. If you are going to look back at all look at what turned out well for you. Start writing and look at things that turned out even better than you thought they were going to.
- Look for positive solutions that came to you.
- Look for positive relationships you made.
- Look for anything that brought a positive reaction for you.
By making note of these things you will find that so many positive things come to mind you wonder why you weren't noticing them when they were happening. By recognizing these positives we can be so grateful for them because they did make our life better even if we didn't see it at the time. Gratitude for all of the good that happened in our lives enhances our positive outlook.
Positive thoughts are the basis of a positive life. When we see things more positively we not only feel better but we open the door for more and more positives to come in our lives.
Make this a habit and your whole life will change for the better.
Many Blessing to all
Sue
