How to counter negative thoughts

Negative thoughts. They do spread like germs. Sometimes if you're surrounded by negative thinkers you will get infected too. Well the most basic way to counter these negativities is counter them with positives and avoid thinking about negatives. Doesn't sound easy eh? Well it is. Let me tell you how.

Believe

Yes you gotta believe. Dont think that you can't, think you can and you will! Believe it or not. The word 'impossible' is actually an excuse of not trying. How would you know you can't do it until you try? Ever heard someone saying it's only possible when it's done. Nothing is a failure unless you've stopped trying. Well take a look a Walt Disney, he was rejected and nobody wanted to hire him. He's a legend today because he was determined to try and try.

Don't get affected by others

Again you gotta believe! Don't let criticisms bring you down because at the end of they day your opinion matters than anyone else.

Don't underestimate yourself

First of all, don't compare with others. You may think they are better but they are not. Just because person is good at something which you're not good at doesn't mean you're not good at something. He or she is not better than you. He or she is just different from you. Well everybody is different.

Don't complain, do something about it

A little complaint is fine but please don't brag how unfair your life is. It will just rob away your happiness. No one want to spend hours in a dark room when you could be enjoying a trip down a city. Well how about this, have you try compare yourself with the less fortunate rather than people who seems better than you? Everyone has their own doubts. It's better to do something about it rather than feeling hopeless about it.

Make a list about 'good things about me'

Well don't laugh! In fact it helps. Write at least 10 things you like about yourself. For example, I'm not arrogant. That's one good thing. Or I have a nice smile. Just keep going and you will feel better about yourself.

Think the opposite of the negatives

Well a lot of us would think what if it wouldn't turn right. But have you thought what if it would? Well if it doesn't turn out the way you hope for, dont feel hopeless just take it as a lesson. Don't be afraid of mistakes. Mistakes make us wiser. Afterall tomorrow's a new day!

You are beautiful than you think

Low self-esteem? Don't fret, A happy person is a beautiful person. Confidence is a beauty too. Hey, afterall a personality still matters. Be happy that you're not blind nor sick. The video below also proved that we are beautiful than we think.

Well that's it for now. It will be continued. Do comments and let me know if this helps ;)
