You know that one thing people always advice
you about, when you are on the verge of a breakdown. Yes that one epic advice
to implement its benefits into your way of life. Like when you are clueless
about your job, what people say is, let’s be positive, there’s something good
in store for you – like they have some magic powers that tell them about
people’s fate, which by the way is always good. They never say things
like, you are dying tomorrow, or cry as much as you want, and you’ll be getting
robbed this week, no right?! How do they always know the good, and how are they
so sure about it. I’m not even sure about half of my social network passwords.
These are the same people who when your health isn’t well say, let’s look at
the positive side, what you have isn’t that bad, they have cures for it. Like
seriously? You can’t even manage through flu without your mother. And the most
frequent of them all would be when your boyfriend dumps you, they go, oh it is
for your own good, you can do much better than him. The positive note is, there
are many other fishes in the pond – seriously, not a good pep talk to have
right after being dumped, Alert! Low self-esteem + ego hurt.
Having a full life experience a bit too mature for my age I have had many a personal experiences about this magical thing which is known as the Positive thinking and to be honest, it kind of works sometimes. But swear on my life is it the hardest thing to achieve. Lately I did some research, because of course when in doubt, Google it! I came across many different books, movies and even songs – oh those motivational songs are just perfect! And I being the expert on this matter decided to write some helpful notes on it.
Now some of these might seem kiddish or unpractical, but they work, all you honestly need is denial. Yes that’s right, the key to positive thinking is denial. Deny that you are in bad shape, fake it all the time. Look in the mirror and tell yourself you are doing wonderful and life is great. This is the same extract I got out from all the websites and content that I researched on for this topic. The only difference is, these positivity experts would tell you to focus, to breathe to believe in the good comings while I’d suggest a more realistic approach. The fact of the matter is, for a depressed soul, who doesn’t believe in life itself, will obviously not believe in something it doesn’t even have, for them my best solution is fake it – till you make it.
Here are some major points for being positive, with my inputs in them of course:
#1. See the beauty in everything.
Now I know it’s difficult when nothing is happening right, when you are late for work and while rushing through dress up you find a tear in your blouse. Opt for a better looking dress for that day, which would make you look prettier or better would be, if you make a quick stop at the dress store and buy yourself a new dress! That’s how you see beauty in everything I guess.
#2. Realize that your thoughts do not own you.
Now while you are running late for that meeting, you might have thoughts of an angry boss awaiting you arrival – but don’t let them own you, put on some music and enjoy your way to work. If he furiously asks why the hell you are late, pretend you cramped your leg and you were in an accident.
#3. Don’t play the victim.
If you don’t – he'll fire you! So play along, its OK to fake accidents.
#4. Don’t make excuses.
You certainly can’t tell him you’re late because of a torn blouse – can you? Polite excuses are the best; you might as well want to shed a tear to give it more weightage.
#5. Don’t place your future in someone else’s hands.
Well it kind of is in you boss's hand – if he’s about to fire you. If that job matters, make him your God for the moment.
#6. Get excited about all the possibilities that lay ahead.The only exciting thing would be lunch hour today. It’s so sad; life has come to a point where only food can make you excited. But get excited anyway.
#7. Take time to figure out what you really want.
Well what you really want is a pizza, a smoothie and a slice of cake for lunch. Now I would put on too much weight if I eat all of this, but you shouldn’t be so negative – think that you’ll be slim, and you’ll be slim my friend – size 0 all the way.
#8. Accept the good thing.
So what if the smoothie wasn’t chilled, and was hard to gulp down the throat. It still had yogurt and strawberries. Yogurt is healthy!
#9. Believe you can change.
Yesss... the calories won’t make you fat! You will change, just keep positive.
#10. Believe you deserve good things.
Oh yes you sure do deserve some Prada’s and Gucci’s. But until you have them, use fake bags and pretend to be a diva.
#11. Stop letting negative thoughts control you.
Fake isn’t that bad, plus you’d probably get a raise this month. You just need to finish off that pending assignment.
#12. Start immediately.
Or you sure will get fired.
#13. Look at things with fresh eyes.
There is something good about to happen – maybe you’ll find your favorite flavor of ice-cream for dinner tonight.
#14. Change your vibe.
OMMMMMM! You are a positive person. You love nature and its people. Life is good and you are a fucking liar. OMMMM!
#15. Smile.

So
the next time you want to punch someone in the face, just make eye contact,
tilt you head to the left, have dead eyes and stretch your lips.

Being positive
comes from within and it sure is tough to achieve this quality. Imagine as if
you have cameras hidden all over your office and house, imagine you are in a
reality show, and start pretending – like you are an actor. Soon it’ll become
a way of life, and you wouldn’t have to try so hard.

You
don’t have to think positive all the time to be a positive person. When you
calm yourself off the negativity, you start finding peace in everything, even
if it’s not that great – and that when you become positive inside.
LIFE IS GOOD, JUST TAKE ONE DAY AT A TIME!
P.S: That blouse was too outdated anyway :)
