Now some for people it is hard to really think in a positive manner because they have had so many bad things happen to them and have given up on seeing that good things can happen. The guidelines that you are about to walk away with should definitely help you see that you can control your mood, not the mishaps in life that happen.
1. Change is possible. If you don't think your finances or life can improve, then you won't take any steps to make them better. You must first open your mind to the possibility that your current financial situation actually can improve. If you are still having a hard time accepting this, ask if it is possible for your life to get worse because of steps you take. If your life can get worse as a result of your actions, there's no reason it can't get better too.
2. Do not just narrow down on one thing and think that is the end of the world. Realize that there are so many things out there and that you can conquer whatever you put your mind to. Do not think small. This will make you get motivated.
3. To start thinking better, have goals. Goals make you have control and dictate how your life will go. These goals can be big or small, the point is you will work to get them done.
4. Achieving successes. One of the best ways to overcome the belief that your actions don't affect your future is to start achieving small successes. While goals must be big and motivating, there should also be small and achievable goals along the way.
5. Consider a different viewpoint. Dr. Seligman's research on learned helplessness inspired him to look at optimists and pessimists and examine how both types of people explain good and bad events. In his book, Authentic Happiness, he writes that, "Optimistic people tend to interpret troubles as transient, controllable, and specific to one situation. Pessimistic people, in contrast, believe that their troubles last forever, undermine everything they do and are uncontrollable." In short, if we can change the way we explain the events that occur in our lives, we will be less likely to suffer from learned helplessness.
You are the controller of your life and your mood. Chant that in your head when things start to go bad so you can remember all things can be fixed by you if you just pick yourself up and move on.
