It is said that human beings can have 12000 to 60000 ideas on average every day-if not more. But surprisingly, 80% of thoughts are negative, and you train your brain to have more negative thoughts about positive thoughts. This is actually not shocking.
Our brains are not designed to create happiness, as we hope. When our brain becomes negative, it can be eliminated through our productivity, creativity and decision-making ability. This is because negative thoughts are often more influential than positive thoughts.
E-Help reminds you that you can actually train your brain to be more active through these eight skills.
1. Watch your thoughts.
The first thing to do is to observe your thoughts-even if it's only 10 minutes. Because we are habitual creatures, you may notice that you have the same negative thoughts in your mind. Are you anxious about the coming trip? Are you under pressure at work?
Once you know what negative thoughts bother you the most, you can start looking for ways to solve the problem. For example, if you are really disturbed by your colleagues, you can ask the leader if he can move to another place in the office.
2. Think back to three good things that happen every day.
You can easily train your brain before going to bed. Reflect on the day and think about three good things that happened that day. Whether someone bought you a cup of coffee, a beautiful sunset or a new customer. Even the smallest thing, having lunch with old friends or watching your dog play, is enough to make you happy.
Say hello to others
Gratitude is really important. Studies have found that gratitude can make you more optimistic about getting rid of heart disease. Gratitude diary is a good start, but I find it more beneficial to share your gratitude. For example, thank your colleagues for their hard work, or have an evening discussion with your spouse.
It may be awkward at first, but believe me, when you say hello to someone, you will feel good.
Help others
Whether it's helping a colleague who encounters a bottleneck in a project, or helping a stranger buy a cup of coffee, donate money, or volunteer, these kind behaviors can improve happiness.
Be with people with positive energy
Because emotions are contagious, only in this way will you want to use positive people to motivate you, motivate you, and motivate you.
6. Take care of your body and mind
Studies have repeatedly found that taking care of our body and mind will affect our happiness and train our brains to be more active. For example, eating healthy food, especially bananas, eggs, blueberries and salmon can improve your mental state.
Exercise for 20 minutes every day is the best way to release endorphins, which in turn will improve your mood. Finally, practice mindfulness through yoga and meditation. Mindfulness is just being aware of your thoughts and feelings without judging whether they are good or bad. A simple mindfulness exercise is to set the mobile phone alarm clock only three times a day. When it buzzes-stop and breathe. Even this little rest will train your brain to be more balanced.
7. Subconscious retraining and internal therapy
Sometimes, in order to be more positive, we must find out and then release the negative experiences that we have been insisting on in the past. Exercise, such as slapping, daily affirmation, neurolinguistics programming and mirror work, can help you find and heal these wounds. In addition, these exercises can help you build a more supportive and positive belief system, which you can use the next time you encounter any traumatic experience.
8. Take time to do something you like.
This may be easier said than done, but one of the best ways to be more positive is to spend time on what you absolutely like.
Action is not important, just make sure you love it. It may be reading, cooking, exercising, watching movies, planning to go camping with friends or developing a new hobby. Try to set an hour's time, so that you can free up some time to give yourself something really happy.
