The Power of Positive Thinking

Hello friends, welcome to my blog. This is my first time participating in the Inleo daily writing challenge, and I am happy to share my thoughts on the topic of today.

Earlier this morning the thoughts of negative incidence overwhelmed me when I woke up , I felt depressed about many things: how I did not sell some of my crypto and take profits while the price was high yesterday; it seemed the bubbles of my plans are over, and combined with responsibilities that I have to handle daily as a man, I wanted to give up.

And as the dialogue continues deep inside my heart, my confidence in dealing with my daily routine becomes increasingly weaker, I felt like not even going out today to do the day's business. But suddenly, a voice roars inside me: "BE WHO YOU ARE, THINK POSITIVE," and that was enough to kick again.

The last words of my conversation with my heart were like an electric circuit that refreshed my interior and set my plane to run again. I started to appreciate what I had and stopped focusing on what I had lost and what I did not have. My negative attitude towards my challenges and life, in general, began to wear off. Believe me, the power of positive thinking helps me change my situation and find the height to start my day with new hope toward a better future.

You see, positive thinking is the way to a happy, healthy life. I feel that positive thinkers have an easier time solving problems and making better decisions. They're more likely to take calculated risks, strengthen themselves, and actively pursue their goals.

When you maintain a positive attitude, it becomes so much easier to cope with daily life. It brings this wonderful sense of hope, and helps you avoid stress and negative thoughts. Once you accept it as a way of life, it can transform everything - making you happier, brighter, and more successful.

I have learned that positive thinking is amazing for controlling stress and health. Actually, research shows that personality traits such as optimism and determination affect many areas of your life and well-being. If you think about it, positive thinking is really at the heart of effective stress management.

Amazingly, positive thinking begets more positive thinking. It's a therapeutic balm for both body and mind. You learn to control stress rather than letting it control you. Positive messages are conveyed to your body; thus, it heals.

Now, let me share how I go about positive thinking:

I first draw a smile on my face and work on the positive side. I tell myself that ups and downs are part of every man's life, and all humans are together in this voyage.

I practice gratitude each day. Being thankful for everything I have and being grateful for every person who has been there helping me, even in the least ways, makes a difference. I keep a thank-you note journal.

Humor has become the best of friends. Laughing is a great magic when anxiety or depression tries to sneak in. As it goes, a good joke heals the heart.

I'm very particular with whom I associate myself with. I learned a long time ago that people who are not going in your direction will weigh you down. I tell myself: what's not my intention doesn't deserve my attention. Time is precious, and I do well to spend it wisely.

Speaking up for myself has been transformative. Every time I say something, my self-confidence heightens. It helps me recognize my worth in whatever situation.

I've also learned to identify my weaknesses and actively work on them. Understanding my flaws helps me avoid mistakes and make better decisions. I started by getting feedback from family members before facing the wider world.

There are three main things I've found that contribute to positive thinking:

The first thing is awareness. Knowing what you are feeling-good and bad-is essential to adjusting thought patterns. I have found that it doesn't happen naturally but requires an element of willpower to change and mold one's thinking pattern. After you understand what you are feeling, you can select how you're going to be affected by what is being felt.

The second is self-confidence. Haven't you noticed how people who respect themselves carry themselves differently? It is not that they do not have problems, just that they do not stay with negativity.

Third is optimism. To me, optimism is this powerful hope that sees good possibilities in every situation. If hope is believing life can improve, then positive thinking makes that hope possible. Even under stress, hope protects your brain and helps you handle life's biggest challenges. Remember, positive thinking doesn't pretend failure doesn't exist - it just recognizes that setbacks are temporary.

This is my entry participation in the #decemberinleo writing prompt for day 10.
