Step 1. Change your body language
Take a moment to observe your body language. Do you bow with a closed attitude? Are you frowning?
If so, you will find it easier to think negatively.
Poor body language can lower your self-image and lead to a lack of confidence. So in an emotional state, it becomes normal to start having negative thoughts.
Sit up straight with confidence. Open your attitude and smile more
Improve your body language and you will feel much better. It may be what you need to clean up negative thoughts.
Step 2. Talk outside
Sometimes negative thinking happens because you have a problem or emotion that you need to get out of it.
It's not good to keep it to yourself. If you have something that needs immediate attention, you should talk to someone.
Placing what is in the mind in the form of words can help you put things into perspective so you can find the root of the problem.
Step 3. Spend a minute calming your mind from all thoughts
With everything like racing in your head, it will be difficult to control the thoughts that arise - especially negative thoughts
Try to slow it down. One minute of quietness is often what is needed.
It's like meditation - you clear your mind. Think of it as a reboot. Once empty, you can fill it with something a bit more positive.
Step 4. Change your thinking sentence
Sometimes negative thoughts are the result of a bad perspective. Look at your point of view on the things that are happening around you.
For example, instead of thinking, "I'm going through a difficult time and will have difficulty," better think "I'm facing some challenges, but I'm trying to find a solution."
You are basically saying the same thing, but the second way has a more positive point of view. But sometimes small sentence changes can make a big difference to your mindset.
Step 5. Be creative
When negative thoughts arise, you can neutralize by spending some creative time.
Search for channeling out the creative things in your mind. Draw or paint something - even if you have to use crayons. As long as you use your creativity to expend negative thoughts, then it can work.
Explore your emotions through creative actions that can improve your mood again.Creativity can feel like a liberation. When you put your emotions through an art form, you put them out of your system and clean them up.
Step 6.Take a walk
Sometimes our mind is the product of the environment in which we live. For example, if you are surrounded with negative people, you may start to think negatively in turn.
Avoiding negative environments can be very helpful. Take time to walk alone away from the everyday atmosphere. Go to a place that can lift the mood like a park or museum.The time spent keeping away from negative influences can lead you to peace of mind.
Step 7. Start making a list of what you are grateful for
Did you forget all the good things that have happened to you? Sometimes in everyday life, we lose focus on all the things that go well in our lives.
If it reflects you, then you need to re-train your mind to focus on all the good things that happen around you, not the bad ones.
Make a list of all the things you're grateful for, no matter how small they seem. Sometimes the good things in our lives happen right in front of our faces and we still fail to see them.
Stop being blind to the positive things you already have.
