The power of positive thinking is something quite remarkable. The act of practicing and illuminating positivity can bring so much happiness to both you and the people around you, which is certainly something to be admired. Because happiness is a choice, when you proactively choose to be happy and see the positive side of things, you are actually training your brain to release endorphins, which are those feel-good hormones. If this concept is new to you, then it can be challenging at first to get rid of those pesky negative thoughts that have resided in your head for so long. However, it is never too late to commit to yourself and change your life for the better to become happier and healthier.

Get Rid of the Negativity 
Being negative has detrimental effects on your body, both mentally and physically. In fact, research has shown that chronic negative emotions trigger your brain to perform specific actions, such as not partaking in activities you enjoy, which can hinder your true potential. This way of thinking narrows your focus and thoughts and leaves you dwelling on them rather than trying to find alternative solutions to solve it. By knowing this, it is clear that negativity is bad for your overall wellbeing, and also extremely difficult to break out of.

If you have decided that you want to have a happier life, then you have already won half the battle by understanding that you have the ultimate say in how you can live. When you have a mission to become happy and more positive, then negativity should have no place in your mind anymore. Filter out those toxic traits and replace them with healthier ways of thinking that can lead to a more optimistic outlook. 

How Positivity Makes You Happier

Studies have shown that when people are actively practicing positive thinking methods, they elude a more upbeat attitude. When you develop positive thought habits, you will be effectively allowing your brain to operate at an optimal level with free-flowing endorphins that will make you feel light and at peace with yourself. This will sway away any negative thoughts, self-doubts, and self-limiting beliefs that could stunt your happiness journey. In the end, you will feel much more confident and have ample amounts of motivation to experience new things and step out of your comfort zone to reach your full potential. 

Training Your Mind to Be Positive

It is certainly easy to be happy and cheerful when everything is going according to plan.  However, the real test lies when you are faced with unexpected setbacks and difficulties. In order to ensure that you can confront these situations in the most optimistic way as possible, then you must train your mind to think that way continuously.
  • Assume the Best Intentions – When you are going about your day, assume that everyone you see, both friends and strangers, are happy, honest and overall decent people doing the best they can. Finding the good in people can promote much happier interactions and influence positivity. 
 
  • Look on the Bright Side – Despite what could go wrong, always look towards the positive things. In almost all cases, the good things in your life will outshine the bad and make you realize that you can handle anything life throws at you with a smile on your face. 
 
  • Be Ratio Conscious – Never let negativity overpower you. Too many negative thoughts can make your brain respond with stress and sadness. Be aware of your mindset and always make certain that your positivity ratio is high because increased levels will trigger relaxation and boost happiness.
 
  • Smile More – Since your brain does not know the difference between a fake smile and a real one, it will release endorphins regardless if it is genuine or not. By smiling throughout the day, you will promote happiness and feel much more positive.

Conclusion

With life being so fleeting, everyone should strive to be as happy as they can be. Your mind is the key to your own happiness, and it starts by making the conscious decision to become more positive and practice positive thinking habits. Take control of your thoughts and really focus on things that make you happy and silence the negative voices when they try to creep into your mind. With diligence and working on improving your outlook on life, it will manifest into you obtaining an overall positive attitude, which will lead you to a much more fulfilled and happy life.
