Everyone wants to be happy and have success in life. However, it depends mainly on our attitude to others, to life and to ourselves. In particular, many people act as victims. Something is wrong and they feel that everything is playing against them or being stuck in the routine.

Whatever the reason, people who behave like victims are often depressed, negative and apologetic about their fate. They can be aggressive with others and with themselves. Unfortunately, it’s a terrible vicious circle. It’s also useless – feeling pity has never solved much.

What do you need?

Develop a positive attitude – a positive outlook on life. It is from this moment that you begin your journey towards a happier life. In fact, I would say even more: if you have a positive attitude then it is almost impossible to return to a vicious circle, as above.

Everyone has goals and aspirations in life. To be able to achieve one’s goals, you must have the right tools. Although some tools require special skills in some areas, often the most powerful ways are the simplest and are adaptable to any situation.

A positive mental attitude is part of these powerful tools and can be used to reach your dreams and greatest desires in life. There are 6 aspects to take into account to get a positive view of life. Here’s a quick summary of these 6 features, and some easy-to-use tips for you to be at the top of each of these areas and help you change your attitude easily.

  1. Health
  2. Perspective
  3. Gratitude
  4. Social Environment
  5. Have a tattoo that reminds you peace
  6. Listening to emotions

1. A healthy life – You are what you eat

I cannot stress enough the importance of living a healthy life. Seriously, if you always feel tired, hungry, fragile, chances are you will not be very positive! Healthy living involves a good diet and exercise: you need both to feel good.

By drinking a lot of coffee or energy drinks like Red Bull and eating foods that are too sweet, your energy and mood will change more than in roller coasters. It’s hard to stay positive when you’re short on sugar and caffeine. Calm down with the coffee, get away from it. Try to replace the treats with fresh fruit. Eating healthy products without dyes, preservatives and other added products will help you maintain a stable energy level, avoiding these energy falls. Also, if you feel a little tired and depressed, get some exercise! It sounds counterintuitive but walking or running for 30 minutes can really get your body going and air your mind.

As I said, healthy living is a very important factor in developing a positive state of mind, but it is also one of the hardest to follow, it takes a lot of discipline.

2. Positive perspective 

See things on the right side.
Something vital to cultivate a positive mind is your ability to see life on the bright side. In general, people tend to exaggerate negative situations and relativize positive points. This happens when we put ourselves in a “frontal” position when we have to put ourselves in the shoes of an objective observer, measuring the positive and the negative.

What we are trying to do here is to balance the balance. You will be surprised to see how many times an insurmountable thing is revealed in the end achievable. By changing the perspective on things, we analyze situations or events in our lives in order to eliminate negative prejudices.

The next time you have a problem, big or small, take a step back. List the negative and positive points. Some people never change because they are afraid to change their life, although here is a tip for such people.

Try to list 3 things you could do to turn negative points into positives

For example, imagine having requested a promotion at work, but it was refused. Obviously, the bad thing is that you did not get your promotion. But what are the positives? Go see your employer and ask him why this promotion was rejected. You have now used this experience to turn it into information.

This information is very expensive – you have obtained an objective answer about the future of your career. Now, what can you do to change the negative to positive? Well, if you discover that the promotion has been rejected for a lack of aptitude in a certain field, you can see this event positively by acting in the field concerned and obtain new qualifications. We have just turned a negative experience, applying a new perspective, in positive action!

Seeing things on the right side, allows you to experience each event/situation. Moreover, you can use it enthusiastically to move forward, instead of constantly thinking about it, complaining and regretting. One of the strengths of putting things in a new perspective is that it is a universal method. It is as important and effective to apply it, in the small daily events of your life as in the greatest moments.

3. Gratitude for you and towards others

Being grateful for what you are, for your life and for others, is also a key to staying positive. This can really help you stay focused on the positive aspects of your social interactions and in your life.

To have gratitude means that you know how to appreciate what you have. The past is past, and there is nothing to change it. Reminiscing about the negative experiences and mistakes of the past is useless – other than depressing you. Focusing on what you have today can be a very good exercise. Look where you are in life. Instead of focusing on the missed opportunities of the past, look at what YOU HAVE. All your successes, the people who support you, the sources of happiness in your life right now. That includes just about everything: your job, your friends, your family, your goals… absolutely everything.

Another important point is to show that you appreciate others. If there is someone in your life who has had a positive influence in your life one day, be it a mentor, or someone who has supported you in a difficult time, or one of your friends: tell them! You could invite them to dinner, to see a movie, to give them a small gift. You could simply write a card or letter and let them know that you appreciate what they did for you. All of these options make very strong gestures and have the benefit of making you and your friends feel happy. It is very effective to develop a positive attitude.

4. The social environment

Positive creates positive. One of the most important points in your social environment. It is common to say “you are what you eat”, and it is true. If you eat healthily, you will be healthy, you eat fat, you will probably end up overweight.

Something else is very important, people with whom you spend your time play a very big effect on your mood and attitude. That’s right, negative people tend to hang out with other negative people. Very often, a source of conflict between you and some people is that there is something that annoys you at home. This person can show a character trait that you do not like, being shameless or disrespectful, or it tends to lie or other negative traits.

If someone gives you that kind of feeling, then you should consider spending less time with him. A trap in which many people fall is that they want to help the other to grow, to change, but it is impossible. A change is made first by one’s own will.

The important thing to remember is: spend time with positive people, you will become more positive. It will influence your character and your attitude.

5. Have a tattoo that reminds you peace 

Almost every person has a small or big tattoo but there is a most important thing to tell you that every tattoo has a big meaning. There are so many unique tattoos with deep meaning and you can choose one that reminds you every time: I am a positive thinker, I love peace, I don’t hurt people, I always help others, etc.

Remember you are a good person, not a gangster or some kind of bad person so choose a tattoo with the meaning of love and peace.

6. Listening to emotions

Moods tend to be uncontrollable and are vulnerable to vicious circles. One of the reasons some people take a negative attitude is because they are already in a negative state of mind. It is too late, they are in a spiral. And most do not realize is in this state that becomes self-destructive!

The fact that you are still reading this article shows that you are already aware that something is wrong. It is a major and decisive step. The next step is to apply these concepts and continue to listen to your emotions. If you feel that you are falling back into this negative spiral, you must step back and clear your mind. Do something that you like or change your activity to distract yourself. Once you are out of this negative mood, you can evaluate your situation. Look at the good things of course and make the necessary changes.
