How does positive thinking affect life?
The Süddeutsche Zeitung once stated that around 65% of all Germans believe in the beneficial effects of positive thinking. Because it can affect different areas of our lives, such as:
on our health
on our mental well-being
on our perception and all mental abilities
on our financial/professional goals
on our interpersonal relationships
Can I learn to think more optimistically?
Yes, because neither optimism nor pessimism is fixed personality traits. Rather, you can work on yourself to go through life in a better mood. Pessimists often tend to focus on negative things. As a result, they don't notice many good things at all and go through the day in a bad mood. Even if you think negatively, you should try to go through life with open eyes and not miss any more things that are good for you.
Five good reasons to think more optimistically
1. The sense organs work better again
Positive thinking can even make your senses work better again. Because if you discard the pessimism, you will notice many more beautiful things. This does not only mean big events, but also very simple and small things, such as the morning noises of the animals or a beautiful sunset. Over time you will even see and hear better and be able to remember certain things better.
2. We start the day much better
In order to achieve a positive attitude, you have to keep setting positive accents. It is best to do this in the morning to start the day perfectly. You leave the house in a better mood and are significantly more productive at work. In addition, you do not take any problems in the office so seriously and are not easily irritated. So get in the habit of having a positive and hopeful mindset, especially in the morning. This means you no longer stress yourself over unimportant things before work. Just get up a few minutes earlier and have breakfast with your loved ones. This brings you together and creates a positive atmosphere.
3. We feel physically fitter
Positive thinking people tend to be fit too. Because physical well-being is very closely related to mental health. A positive attitude to life can act as a kind of elixir of life on different organs. As a rule, optimists stay young longer and also do not get sick as quickly. Because they believe that their positive mood strengthens them. And that really works. Just try it out. Because if you are satisfied with yourself and your life and you therefore also live in harmony, you are better protected against diseases. And if you do get sick, you put all your energy into recovery instead of struggling with the symptoms.
4. We see the good and less the bad
Thinking more optimistically also means that you see and perceive the good things in your life more again. Of course, there will still be people and situations that annoy you. But you shouldn't let that get you down. Rather, use the bad things to train your focus on the good. You do this every time something doesn't go as planned or someone treats you badly.
Of course, if someone stood you up, that's uncomfortable. But instead of getting worked up about it forever, you also see something positive in it. For example, you can now use the time differently. Or you go to bed a little earlier and do something good for your body.
5. Professional and financial goals are easier to achieve
Those who go through life positively are in many cases also more successful. You will achieve your professional and financial goals more easily and thus lay the foundation for being satisfied. Do not see all problems and hurdles as negative, but as a challenge that you want to overcome. Everyone needs goals. You can also draw these from things that do not work as desired, for example.
Conclusion
As you can see, there are many good reasons to think more positively. Among other things, you will feel better and fitter. In addition, you perceive everything around you better and notice a lot more good things. If you think positively, it will be easier for you to achieve your goals at work. Because all problems and hurdles don't throw you off track so easily. On the contrary, you can use them to train your focus on positive thinking. If you go through life with more confidence overall, you can enjoy many small things much better.
