It is said that optimism is the faith and hope that leads to achievement and prosperity. Therefore, if we can find ways to maintain this innate perception and boost are morale independently we can face reality head on.
When our emotions and circumstances feel like a rollacoaster experience and setbacks happen we can learn to prepare the brain for less fortunate outcomes we can move on promptly and learn more from what has happened. We can transform negative phases or periods by altering our scale of measure. Scale of measure comes from Equanimity, it is an excellent interpersonal skill to learn to help toxic thinking. Therefore, the question is how do we learn this. There are a number of ways which suit each individual, but there is a simple technique/method which uses perceptions and repetitions to help support the brain to operate at a higher level. This is by using ‘awareness’, Acceptance and surrender to pass current beliefs and ideologies we have that can cause hindrances.
If we can ask ourselves what these are, and then seek to take the necessary amount of effort and time to re-program and unlearn the pessimistic thoughts, beliefs and ideologies our internal mind inhabit, we can assist ourselves in moving forward in a positive and healthy way. This can be done in a number of ways, such as quietening the senses, such as quietening or monitoring our thoughts, eating habits and entertaining pleasures etc. This helps with focus and concentration. Identifying negative thought patterns and limiting the thoughts of those around us if possible. Therefore, forcefully removing ourselves from environments and relationships or standing your ground and being honest. This leads onto dullness of sloth of the body, so taking care of your physical aspects to support your mental state and raise self esteem.
You can have the ability to calm the mind by thinking without negative or low thoughts. Focusing on the tasks and creating actions to get stuck into. Even though this can be difficult as you may have too many tasks or they maybe difficult, the key is then to make space, what do I mean by make space. Take time out of the day to sit in stillness, this maybe called meditation or mindfulness, however this can just be putting yourself in a place where there is nothing happening. No technology or people, simply just sit with your thoughts and look out of the window or what is in front of you and spend time with just you and your thoughts, over time you can silence them or redirect them to focus on what’s important. Remember this can take a while, it will be challenging but worth it.
Again, this is a process. Do not force or struggle with getting it right, practice this everyday, if you relapse its ok, this is something that will eventually take shape and new behaviours replaced.
