Having daily positive thoughts is so important; maintaining a positive attitude during the day isn't easy, especially if you come from a negative mindset. Sometimes you'll wakeup in really positive moods, sometimes not so much; the only way to guarantee that you'll stay positive is self indulging positive thoughts.
So how do you do this? I used wake up to the song "All Star" by Smash Mouth, it seems really cheesy, but it would wake me up on a positive note. Later on I got to hate it because I get to hate all my alarm clock sounds.:P
But that's pretty much the way to do it, start the day with your daily positive thoughts. That song hits the nail with what positivity is, indulging in shameless self promotion and motivation. So I thought why not tell myself the things that keep me motivated?
And this is how the idea of a list of affirmations was born, I read about it on several sites and to be honest, I thought it was kind of ridiculous but still seemed kind of logical.
If you tell yourself something repeatedly you'll start believing it; people tend to do this with negative thoughts and it ends up working. So why not use it in a positive way?
The way this works is you tell yourself positive thoughts that will motivate you. They don't necessarily have to be true, for example, telling yourself "I am confident" could be one. Even if you don't consider yourself to be confident it is motivating and will help you start thinking that way.
Work on building your own list, especially in the initial stages of wanting to improve your social aspect it really helps you make that mind shift.
So I'll share my personal daily positive thoughts list so you can try making your own:
- I am that guy that talks to everyone and shows that big air of core confidence and a really unique sense of humor in a really witty sort of way.
- I have that really comfortable air around me and everyone enjoys talking to me.
- I command respect and leadership.
- I am really cool.
- I have a big social circle and a bunch of close friends who I do stuff with.
- I have attractive girls from all over my social circle and most are interested in me.
- I seem to always be surrounded by attractive females.
- I have the funniest stories to tell and I'm a great storyteller.
- I have the funniest and coolest things happen to me.
- I have an active lifestyle and I'm in all the cool things to do.
Those thoughts are motivating because they made me picture who I wanted to be, even though I don't use an "affirmation list" anymore, these were daily positive thoughts that really stuck.
I just dug up that list from some old files and I'm just noticing that many of those positive thoughts are now realities.
Like I said before it is extremely helpful in the early stages, so try it, it's positive propaganda for your mind. Make your own personal list of daily positive thoughtsand write them down, read them occasionally during the day for a while, add positivism to your life!
