It could be triggered because of potholes on the road, pollution in the city and other such examples. By allowing negative thoughts you do yourself a disservice. It is important to be optimistic and look for the positive in every situation.

Developing an optimistic mindset requires effort but once mastered, alleviates the feeling of hopelessness. An Optimistic attitude helps you see the silver lining on dark clouds and makes the glass of life appear half full, instead of half empty.

TIPS ON DEFLECTING NEGATIVITY

  • Smile! This simple gesture makes you feel all is well in your world. A genuine smile and a sense of humour go a long way in reducing negativity.
  • Reinterpret a tough situation in your favor. For example, if you are late for work, focus on the cool breeze providing comfort on a sunny day rather than stressing on the delay.
  • Imagine a better and brighter future. Write a detailed account of it with the conviction it will come true. Remember, you become what you think, so today’s good thoughts will be tomorrow’s bright future.
  • Keep a journal of your strengths and evaluate them periodically. Plan how your strengths will make you a better person and more effective at work. This exercise not only lowers your risk of depression but leads to overall happiness.

Positive thinking equips you with a magical tool that makes you feel invincible when life throws hardships your way. Who needs to shoot webs from fingers or leap of a building to fly? The superpower is in the mind.
