Because I got a lot of awesome feedbacks for my last article about motivation here, I will continue with a serie of articles about you, and moreover the better you !
Being a better you implies a lot of different things, but to me the first and most important is to stay positive ! People want to be happy in their life, you will never meet someone who will tell you: “I want to be negative, this is the purpose of my life”.
Being positive is something that can be hard !
Some people surrounding you can be negative. They are always depressed about their life but also want to stay in their comfort zone because they are too afraid to move on. They have in their vocabulary those sentences: “My life is horrible”, “You shouldn’t take that risk, there is a high chance you to fail”, …
When you see news on TV, what are the main subjects ? Terrorist attacks, wars, murders … Most of the time you see 99% of time negative events. The TV news are very stressful and have a chaotic impact on your behaviour.
Sometimes, you can encounter hard time, like failing in business, failing your exams , or even worse having a bad decease or have to deal with the death of a beloved relative.
There is a good new ! Everyone can learn to be happy !
If you are surrounded with negative people, leave them ! They are a waste of time for you, your projects, and your mental health. Staying with this kind of people is counter productive … let them speak ! Instead focus on surrounding yourself with positive people. Listen people that push you !
Stop watching TV news ! Instead prefer reading google news or newspapers. Most of the time you will just see the head lines and have a quick overview of what’s going on in the world. If something catches your interest, you’re still free to read more.
If the negativity comes from you, well congratulations you already know you are the problem ! Try to focus on good things that happened to you today ! Keep in touch with your family, friends, you can even call a friend you didn’t see since a long time ! Have a walk ! Do sport ! Go out, meet new people, subscribe to meetups … Your life is much better that what you think !
