In casual conversation, we often hear the term positive thinking. But the extent to which the truth of positive thinking has a good effect on us. Writing shared through hellodoktor.com by Helma Hassan and Dr. Amy Kor (2020)  says that an individual can live longer just by thinking positively. According to him, positive thinking can also have a long-term effect on your age. Those who perceive their aging process positively live an average of 7.5 years longer. This shows that positive thinking has a positive effect on a person's physical ability and health. In the psychological context, positive effects have a positive impact on a person's mood and emotions and behavior. When a person thinks positively they indirectly free themselves from being in a state of extreme stress and anxiety. When a person can maintain emotional balance, it will also have a positive impact on his behavior. So let's take a look at the tips to encourage yourself to always think positively!

   

1. Talk to Yourself (Self Talk)

Always talk to yourself. When talking to yourself about the things that happened opens a person's view in a better direction. Get used to asking yourself- What? How? Effect? Such open-ended questions help one to see things from a different angle.

 

2. Divert attention

Distract yourself when your mind starts to wander in a negative direction. Accustom yourself to positive things so that you can lead your mind in a positive direction. Get used to finding solutions instead of finding fault.

 

3. Acceptance

When something happens not according to your wishes, learn to accept the results of the efforts that have been made. Focusing on the effort made is not a futile thing but the effort that has been made has matured you.

 

4. Redha

The term redha is different from surrender. Redha means you have surrendered everything to God about what will happen. In fact you are also open to accept whatever will happen in the future. This contentment attitude is significant done after all the effort that has been done and then you are satisfied. With that, your heart and mind are in a positive mode. Anxiety is also reduced.
