The Power of Positive Thinking

We all feel a little low now and then, but it's important to bounce back from these slumps. Figuring out how to change your outlook is not always easy. Let's take a look at some ways to dispel negative energy and start thinking positively.

Identify the Problem Areas
Recognizing the areas of life where negative thoughts occur is crucial. It could be your job, a relationship or even the commute to work. If there are several areas, focus on them individually.

Check Yourself 
At intervals throughout the day, stop and examine your thoughts. Is there any negativity creeping in there? If so, try to nip it in the bud ASAP.

Laugh It Off
Even during difficult times it's possible to see the funny side. If you can laugh at those nagging, negative thoughts, you won't take them nearly as seriously and will feel less stressed.

Positive Pals
Surround yourself with chipper people whom you can depend on to be laid-back and offer support. Hanging with the office whiner all day is only going to bring you down.

Give Yourself a Break
A good rule to adhere to is to not tell yourself anything you wouldn't say to others. You wouldn't call your colleague an idiot, so why be so hard on yourself?

正向思考 拒絕負能量

我們偶爾都會感到有點情緒低落，但從消沉中振作起來是很重要的。找出改變自己想法的方式，並非總是那麼容易。讓我們來看一些消除負面能量，開始正向思考的方式吧。

確認問題所在
找出生活中哪些面向會導致負面想法產生是至關緊要的。有可能是工作、感情生活甚至是上班通勤。如果有好幾個問題點，就一一去處理。

檢視自己
一天中不時停下來檢視你的思緒。有任何負面想法漸漸產生嗎？如果有的話，試著盡快處理掉。

一笑置之
即便處在艱難的時刻，還是有可能看到當中有趣的一面。如果你對惱人的負面思緒能笑笑地帶過，你就不會太過在意，也好感覺壓力小了許多。

正面思考的友伴
與性情爽朗，可依靠的人為伍，他們能讓你感到放鬆並支持你。鎮日和辦公室中愛抱怨的人在一起，只會讓你情緒更低落罷了。

寬以待己
一項該遵守的黃金法則就是別跟自己說任何你不會和他人說的話。你不會叫同事蠢蛋吧，那麼為何要對自己那麼嚴苛呢？
