Here Are Some Methods on What to Eliminate Within Your Life and What to Change

• Stop repeating the same mistakes: It’s futile to continue doing something over and over again and expecting different results, as Einstein said. You’ll need to change things up. That might mean stepping outside of your comfort zone, but if what you’re doing makes you unhappy, then a positive change would be to shake things up.
•  Look at life as if the glass is half full: Having an optimistic outlook on things will lead to positive changes in your life. You will feel more in control and invested in things.
• Stop talking negatively about yourself: Don’t blame yourself for everything that goes wrong. Surrounding yourself with positive uplifting people can help keep those negative thoughts at bay.
• Think about the ‘can do’ not the ‘can nots’: Instead of focusing on what is happening to you focus on what you can do to change things and make things happen. Take your past mistakes and use them as a way to improve in the future.
• Focus on health and wellness: Don’t ignore illness, face it head-on and keep your mind and body well.
• Stop comparing yourself to others: If you’re always comparing yourself to others you will lose your positive attitude. Each person has unique talents and strengths and comparing yourself to others can lead to depression, anxiety, and sleeping problems. So if you focus on what you’re good at instead of being better than others, then you will be far more successful in life.
• Change your habits: Cutting bad habits out of your life will help you to be more positive. Cut out smoking and drinking and start eating better. All of these things can lead to physical health problems and thus a feeling of negativity, so removing these unhealthy habits from your life is a great start to a more positive lifestyle.
• Seek help if you have developed depression: If you are depressed, then you need professional health care which can include medication and therapy. These things are important to get under control so you can achieve a positive lifestyle. You can’t be depressed and have a positive outlook on life.
• Be grateful: As we have listed above-create a journal of what you are thankful for. Learning to love what you have is important to staying positive. Indeed, the grass is always greener on the other side. The sooner you stop looking at others and coveting what they have, the sooner you will find that you have a much more positive outlook on life.

Summary

What the mind can conceive, the mind can achieve. You have heard that before, I am sure. If you try these steps to improve your positivity they can not only have positive emotional benefits on you but also positive physical benefits as well.

When you take the time to improve your positivity, the benefits will manifest one step at a time. Learn to laugh at your mishaps, but keep on improving.

“Laugh at yourself, but never aim your doubt at yourself.”

Allen Alda

No, this does not eliminate the ups and downs of normal life, however, it can help you in your responses to those things. Think about the good, instead of the bad.

**As always, if you have a physical or mental problem, always consult your doctor. Never try anything that could affect your mental or physical well-being without his/her permission.
