Introduction

Life can be full of twists and turns, leading to so many scattered thoughts and emotions, but one has to stay strong and positive to go through these different phases in life. Even the most successful person does face a lot of issues and difficulties in his/her life, and if he/she is not facing any issues; then he/she has reached this point after going through a tough time in the past. It is not possible for anyone to contend and successful without facing the twists and turns of life. A successful person may have faced a lot of anxiety, depression, and negative thoughts leading to negative emotions, but those who stay strong and positive during such troubling times; stand out from the crowd. It is a fact that people who are able to effectively manage their thoughts and emotions; tend to adopt positive and effective behaviors in life which means that they are able to manage life better than the others so they enjoy all blessings and happiness which life offers to them. They are also able to develop better relationships and bond with others and live their lives to the fullest potential.

You must be wondering what spiraling thoughts are, and how you can identify that your thoughts are being spiraled. Let me help you get the idea of spiraling thoughts. If you are in a situation, where you are feeling negative about someone or something; and a “thought spiral” happens when concern in your mind tends to trigger negative thoughts that continue to grow with the passage of time. This thing reaches a point where negative thoughts control you, and your emotions are being driven by these negative thoughts. It is a point when you are dealing with the spiraling thoughts. In the beginning, you had one negative thought in your mind, and you did not manage it well to throw it away, and then another negative thought comes into your mind, and then these negative thoughts work like a chain coming one after the other keeping your positive thoughts away from your mindset, and control your behavior and response. Being worried and having concerns about something is a normal thing to happen for every human being. So, there is no point of concern at this stage as getting worried is natural when a person faces any difficulty in life. But things start to get worse when a person allows those worries to stay in his/her mind and allowing negative thoughts to creep in.

If you are worried about something like losing your job or having a difficult time in a relationship; it is a time to stay cool and calm, and keep your focus in a positive direction to stay away from more worrisome thoughts to get in your thought process. It is a common problem with a majority of people that they are not able to stop themselves from a negative approach to thinking. Once a negative thought creeps in, they don’t shut the door; rather keep it open for other negative thoughts to get in without any problem. So, when a bunch of negative thoughts is gathered in the mind, it is hard to stay positive or think positive. It is a time when negative thoughts tend to control everything including emotions, and this is when things begin their journey to a personal disaster. The key is to stay calm and relax and don’t spiral your thoughts in the world of negativity. A negative mental state of mind is deadly for individuals, as they are unable to think positively and think with some logic. Spiraled thoughts without any control over personal emotions will always lead individuals to a dead end, and sometimes, there is no way to turn back. One also has to realize the fact that when a thought spiral happens, it happens so quickly that an individual loses to review and examine their thinking patterns. It means that logical reasoning and critical examination of thoughts is stopped at this point, and just negative thoughts start to control everything.

One has to realize the fact that negativity of thoughts is not good in any given circumstances. It not only puts you under depression and anxiety, but it also ruins your social and personal life in so many ways. We need to be logical and rational in our thought process, and when is surrounding us, then it is hard to be logical and rational. The important thing is to stop this thought spiral when it happens. Don’t let it ruin your thoughts and emotions, so break this chain of negativity as early as possible. It is a fact that when you allow negative thoughts to grow, it is like breeding them to grow like a crop. So, the best thing is to stop it as early as possible. The negativity of thoughts is not good for anyone. Therefore, when negativity is holding control of your thoughts, recognize its spiral as quickly as possible. When a person critically looks at his/her patterns of negative thoughts, he/she comes to know that things are getting away from logic and tries to find a more reasonable logic to justify those thoughts. When rational and logic is used to review the thought process, it is not a difficult thing to identify wrong patterns of thoughts. When thoughts are far away from being reasonable and justifiable, it means that thoughts have spiraled into a web of negativity, which is holding a person back from being logical with his behavior and actions.

Keeping the above discussion in mind, it is critical to realize for everyone that spiraling thoughts are not in their favor in any given circumstances, so they have to deal with them more effectively. The first thing is to stop such negative thoughts to creep in, and if life has such miserable situations that negativity has broken the barriers and crept in, then next thing is to stop them from growing. If negative thoughts will spiral, it will continue to drag you into a world of negativity, where feelings, thoughts, emotions would be controlled by these negative thoughts, hence negative things will never come out with positive outcomes.
Chapter 1: Getting an Understanding of Spiraling Thoughts

In this chapter, we will have a closer look at Spiraling Thoughts to see reasons, why it happens, how spiraling thoughts become a source to anxiety and depression, and what is a connection between spiraling thought and negative emotions. These things will help to understand the idea of spiraling thoughts, and this understanding is crucial so that when we move towards solutions, we actually know, what is being resolved.

1.1            Reasons for having Spiraling Thoughts

Little worries, concerns, and negative thoughts are part of a normal life unless you get over them without any issues. If even small worries and negative thoughts are getting bigger for you, and you are not able to deal with them, then it means that you are going through a thought spiral, where a negative thought or emotion penetrated your mind, and you could not stop it from growing and continued piling stock of negative thoughts in your mind. There must be some reasons for having spiraling thoughts, and you need to be aware of those reasons to understand, how you can stop it from happening in your real-life situations. The first reason for a thought spiral is the fact when a negative thought or any concern arises; you try to get deeper into it. For instance, when you have been given a warning letter from your boss, and you fell into the world of negativity and despair. You start to think of the worst situation of losing your job, which is the last possible scenario. You stop thinking positively, and when negativity controls your thoughts, you lead yourself to depression and fear. The next day, when you will be in the office, you will be so fearful and depressed that it would be impossible for you to give your 100%. It will add insult to your injury because you received a warning letter for not giving your 100% and you are doing the same due to more fear and depression.

Sometimes, a boss may have given you a warning letter to just wake you up, as he/she may want you to give more effort and commitment to the work. So, when start giving more importance to negative thoughts and situations, you only think about the worst situations. The solution to deal with such a situation is to think positively. If you have received a warning letter, then make a commitment to yourself and set a goal that in the next month; you will give your level best to show your boss that you are here to make a statement. You need to show more level of interest and passion to work with great honesty and loyalty, and showing your boss that you were struggling because you were unable to understand a few steps. But now you are ready to learn those skills to overcome any hurdles and perform your 100%. The second prominent reason to get into the web of spiraling thoughts is losing faith in you. It happens very often that when people are down in their lives and facing any difficulties; they underestimate their own abilities, and when you lose this belief in yourself, you are actually putting yourself in trouble. When someone makes a mistake, and things don’t go as per a plan, they start to blame their selves, and they try to be harsh with their inner thoughts. If you will have guilt and shame along with the rising level of negativity, it is virtually impossible for you to get out of the trouble. So, try to understand these reasons, and make sure that you don’t allow these reasons to come into your life at a difficult time, otherwise, your life will be ruined with thought spiral, leaving you at a dead-end.

1.2           Spiraling Thoughts: Turning into Anxiety

It was mentioned earlier that worries and anxious moments in life are something, which happens with everyone at a different point in life, but people who stay positive and strong in these crucial moments, become successful in their lives. It is the story of every successful person in history that when they were faced with difficult situations, and when they were in situations when life was on the verge of defeat; they did not allow negativity to control them, rather they stayed optimistic and positive, gathered their logical thoughts, critically analyzed situations, and then came up with a solution, which got them out of trouble. Think about great people like Bill Gates (Microsoft) and Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook); they were dropped out of their colleges, and who would even think to change the world, when their own life is in a situation that they are not able to stay in their colleges. If these great personalities have gone into the world of negativity and disappointment, and if they would have thought that world is ended for them; then they would not have been able to come up with Microsoft and Facebook, which changed the modern world in so many ways. These two personalities are a prime example that when they were faced with a difficult challenge in their lives, they did not allow negative thoughts to spiral in their minds. If they would have lost hope, courage, and positivity, then depression and anxiety would have controlled them, and they might have never worked on their wonderful business ideas.

It means that the first major gateway for spiral thoughts is to allow negative thoughts to control your mind. When you see difficulties in your life, and you think that situation is only going to get worst, you drag yourself into endless negativity, which keeps you thousands of miles away from positivity. It means that negative thoughts continue you to bother about everything, and you drive yourself to anxiety and depression, which is such a difficult path to leave, once you have walked on it. The important thing is to keep reminding yourself that life has just thrown a new challenge at you to check your courage, positivity, and commitment, and do you have a response to that challenge or not. If you would turn spiral thoughts into anxiety, it means that you have accepted the defeat from a challenge, which was thrown at you. However, the ones having courage and positivity in their thoughts would never allow this to happen. They would never accept defeat, and they will always fight with coming challenges to come out as winners. This is why we see only a few people to the highest point in their life with great success, because when it was needed, they stood strong against negative thoughts, and did not allow their emotions to be driven negatively. They are able to effectively manage their emotions in every difficult situation, and those brave and positive emotions help them to face any trouble or challenge in life. So, you need to be proactive in this regard that when a worrisome situation comes to your life, you stay strong with positive emotions, and if inner emotions and thoughts will be managed effectively, you will be the winner in the end.

It is said by Steve Jobs that “Sometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did.” His quote is a great motivation for those, who are driving themselves into anxiety and depression just because something unfair, hard, or unexpected has happened to them. If you have just lost your job, or just broke with your partner; it does not mean that it is the end of life. You have another side of the picture to look at because till the time you are breathing and alive, you cannot lose faith and hope. You cannot allow anxiety, fear, and depression to control your thoughts and emotions because of the thought spiral, which came after a difficult situation in your life. You have to show your previous company or partner that they have made a wrong decision by throwing you out, and you have to prove to yourself as well that you can still do it. How it would feel if you will stand in front of a mirror defeated? How would you face your own self at this moment? As Steve Jobs said that life can hit your head with a brick, but it does not mean to lose faith. You have to keep going to stop spiraling thoughts and develop positive thoughts and emotions to bring your life out of anxiety and depression. When a person is depressed, he/she loses his/her ability to think positively, which restricts his/her potential to do wonders in life. Therefore, when spiraling thoughts are trying to control your emotions, and you are being dragged towards negativity, anxiety, and defeat; stand up and face the music and get yourself out of trouble, as you have to believe that you can always do it until you are alive.

1.3           Connections between Spiraling Thoughts and Negative Emotions

The human organization is critical to understand for first-day biology students when moves deep down into its comprehension. Alike, a street seller if submitted with a job to convey the right and appropriate guidelines to the workers constructing a mega-building will ultimately depress him for not performing well. These are situations where a person is constantly compelled to do a task without bothering the fact, “I can’t do this”. People of today’s time have advanced understandings regard every single phenomenon happening around and that has caused the human community to agile new statements for gaining motivation. Where, sometimes we go through these lines, “if you’ve enough enthusiasm to do a task; you can do it”, “nothing is impossible”, and “a human has an advanced and fully developed central nervous system, so every new thing deemed as the point of provision, not for experiments”. Such notions have deployed a great number of average people who do not think much proficiently about given conditions as a resourceful person could do. The inequality in owing equal rights has created significant competition among individuals where failures are failures for the rest of their life and competitors are triumphs till the end. Such complexions wisely invite emotional distress and an imbalanced way of thinking which we call negative perception. Being shameful, immature, underestimated, unqualified, and disable would lead a normal person to a route where depression captures first but last with many other abnormal emotions. The important thing is picking up a thought, thinking about it constantly, portraying many dimensions from it, and then choosing the wrong conclusion showing the connection between spiraling thoughts and negative emotions. There is no denying; spiraling thoughts drive emotional suffocation which invites negative emotions to release out aggregated disturbed conceptualization. The understanding of this illustrated image could be narrated easily.

Emotions are marked as ‘bottom stage’ answers. They primarily happen in the areas that are below the brain including the amygdala and the ventromedial prefrontal cortices. Emotions possess a more substantial mechanical grounding than feels. These feelings have a probed impact originated from the DNA level. Hence, influence in emotions connects the entire body movements on the same plane where a person if receiving positively motivated rules and appreciation could compensate grateful emotions that could be seen through humbled reactions of the body. But if this pattern is affected by a pinch of negativity or a string of depression, its impact could cover the rest of the normal emotions and our brain starts considering that one disturbed emotion most important than others. Gradually our perceptions go into nerves where every single nerve is supposed passionate about focusing on that particular emotion. This message then sweeps down to the DNA level and affects the other emotions dramatically, on the prominent scale to execute a thinking pattern on similar contrast. This is called spiraling thought propagation. The next stage of its movement appears in the form of depressing thoughts, ineligible concepts of mind which spark up the condition where the individual behaves out off track. Thus, it’s comprehensive to pile up that spiraling thoughts are directly proportional to negative emotions. Reaching out at this stage could cause a drastic impact on an ethical branch and personality development compartments of individual recognition.


Chapter 2: Dealing with the Spiraling Thoughts

In this chapter, we will turn our focus to find solutions, how to deal with spiraling thoughts. This will include an effective discussion to deal with anxiety and depression, and then finding out different ways to stop spiraling thoughts, which later turns into negative emotions. We will also discuss how mindset can be changed to develop positive emotions so that one can easily manager his/her emotions without facing any problems.

2.1 How to deal with Anxiety and Depression

We all know that anxiety and depression mixed with emotions of fear and loneliness are so painful for an individual. A person may have the awareness that he/she is getting deeper into the web of anxiety and depression, but still, this web is so complex that the victim is not able to get out of it. The severity when reaching the highest point in spiraling thoughts (complex thinking about a single object leading negative reactions coming out of an organism), depression and anxiety happen to appear primarily as a severe reaction. Your thinking abilities cover the entire structure of physiological health. In this attempt, when a person has been considered a victim of intense spiraling thoughts, the mental functions start demolishing, resulting in a phase where humans found themselves a slave of their negative emotions. During the time when such abnormalities conquered the psychic of normally behaving persons, an emotionally disturbed disorder originates which we called as anxiety. This situation becomes more critical when anxiety touches trigger points of initiating a mode of laziness in doing the tasks provided happiness once, condition of grieving with no reason, sleeping or not sleeping too much, loss of appetites, increasing levels of fatigue while completing a little job, and occasional emotions to attempt suicide, which comparatively is known as depression. It is clear to everyone among us how severe could be the results of depression on personality, how far it could maintain its existence, how drastically the depression convinces a person being alone and deprived of happiness. The more we will raise the notion of spiraling thoughts by suppressing the impact of some positive vibes on the healthier performance of our mental functionality, the more wisely we will invite the personal threatening combination of anxiety and depression. 

According to the words of a patient suffering from the acute results placed by negative thinking and spiraling thoughts, it’s something which makes her hollowed inwardly without taking the permission of her and imposing more strange reactions towards other society members. She said while admitting her confirmed depression;

 

“The depression freezes everything in my world. My physique twinges. The complete pleasure is stretched. It’s as if I’m driving into a dull life but no one other can understand. They all perceive the lively freshness and are qualified to experience emotions without creating a complete nervous collapse. The anxiety is continuously surviving alongside. Just below the depression, occurring in a pause to produce an emotional and physiological response without my permission. It bothers me when my world is running thoroughly by building just a fairly squeeze in my head, heart, and lungs to mention me of its permanent inhabitants.”

One thing to note about anxiety is its prominent medical effect. We considerably know that taking tension about the future works and getting worse about thinking deeply on any object near to happen has direct connection on brain nerves extension, acceleration of blood flow, and ultimately the heartbeat rate. People who’re facing troubled life, pinched by depression and anxiety could not spend lively moments energetically and pleasantly. They even have suffocation regarding slowing down the heart rate or pumping and suddenly an incredibly raised beat per minute. For tracking this alternation inside the body, they usually wear a watch 24/7 to negotiate per impulse rate which on the other hand also gives consideration for anxiety level has reached its summit and now ready to establish the model of depression.

However, dealing with anxiety and depression is still treatable and even only the commitment of a person with itself could draw betterment in life patterns where there’s no need to go for a physiological specialist and neural medication experts. Don’t let your body be trapped by anxiety which is the root of depression. Take it as a natural phenomenon because, on every stage of taking up new opportunities and bringing about new thoughts in front of the public, we all have tensile knots of anxiety. It only reaches the killing level when we start paying it more attention than other features we have been blessed with; the positive aspects. Just think for an instance, you’re constantly being worried about your tomorrow’s office presentation just by assuming the pressure; there would be the CEO, chief guest of a competitive company, and all the colleagues are also invited. But, in this state, you’re neglecting the preparation and confidence relieving factors for a smooth talk during the presentation. Here, at the point of delivering the main context of your presentation, maybe you slipped off your words because of high levels of tension, maybe you don’t even speak a single statement, and that’s how you’re ready to apply depression over yourself because of being insulted in front of the entire staff. Hence, for dealing out these concepts causing non-stop thinking chapters in your mind, practice these exercises for self-recovery;

Self-Questioning

Negative emotions can germinate in your brain and change the sharpness of the circumstances. One method is to dare your anxieties, inquire if they’re accurate, and understand where you can get the final direction. Setting a rapid-fire of self-questioning is the best way to cease the spread of anxiety. Because in this exercise you come with logical reasoning and answer yourself with satisfying proofs that stop immediately to think more about a single object and start convincing yourself for being prepared for it; as best as possible.

4-IN-4-OUT Exercise

Try breathing in for 4 whole and breathing out for 4 whole seconds every day. By nightfall exhale your inhalation, you’ll reduce your accelerated heart rate which should maintain relaxed you forward. This exercise is compensable with regular routines even when you’re at your job, performing home-chores, and just sitting free. Just extract five minutes break out of your busy schedule and practice this 4-in-4-out exercise to stabilize heart movement. Because taking care of yourself at home could draw more productive results than going for taking up a monthly designed charter of doctor’s medicine to slow down extra-running heartbeat; seeing more intensify cases and other people stuck in different complex disorders will trigger your own anxiety as well.

Aromatherapy and Talk-Therapy

Aromatherapy and talk therapy are two brilliant ways to overcome the focus of anxiety and depression penetration. It has been declared that smelling light and beautiful scents and fragrance oils can trigger some receptors of the brain to release out anxiety stress. So, those who use strong perfumes try keeping light scents if they’re suffering from anxiety complexity. On the other hand, talk-therapy prevents you from diving into the ocean of deep thoughts. Sharing disturbing opinions with a physiotherapist can have visibly overdriving results. Because these experts are highly recommended in severe to beginning stages of depression building by conducting behavioral changes and providing appropriate treatment according to the patient’s compensation with negative thoughts.

 

2.2 Ways to stop Spiraling Thoughts leading to Negative Emotions

Spiraling thoughts are not congenital, and also not genetically transferred from ascendants to descendants, hence, they have solutions. These solutions came in various forms; from basic to expert level, depends on the severity and approach of an individual towards negative emotions. We have a clear idea of how we perceive a single thought, feed it temporarily in our memory, and unfortunately being curious about it, start considering it more than anything else existing alongside, and promote its permanent residency. Such behavior is unacceptable for normal conditioning of the brain as it works with both medical and psychological conjugation; therefore, it converts the dilemma of that one thought into a term known as spiraling thoughts. When things move inside the mind, after becoming the owner for providing shelter to spiral thinking web, alter to negative emotion and consequently outcomes a reaction based on negatively destroyed patterns. But taking this complete debate on one side, when we think about being normal, we can change even everything. So, spiraling thinking problems remains no longer the subject of being worried about.

Here’re some ways to put a full stop before the dominancy of spiral thoughts become heavier on your shoulders or even if it has happened one can bring normal life back to the way;

Encourage to take step-back

When negative considerations arise, it is essential to catch a time and move backward from them. Examine and celebrate your feelings. Utilize this time to conclude whether these views carry any value and are genuine or not and then you'll find a place to separate unwanted vs. wanted thoughts. Actually, the main reason for uplifting the negative emotions to generate anxiety and depression is based on the common compartment in which we used to place both the positive and negative thoughts simultaneously. This action has a drastic impact because our mind becomes confused to show the right thought at the right time and alternatively shows up negative and positive thinking from which we pick negative more frequently when it comes to paying attention to a single object. Hence, the primary solution after negotiating yourself dipped into the huge domain of spiral thoughts constitutes the notion of taking a step back from what is not appropriate and comes without any logical reasoning.

Receive negative thoughts and accept neutrally

Receive your negative opinions and embrace them warmly. Don’t be quickly contemptuous of your thoughtfulness. Accept them in and explain to yourself why you are considering this idea. Here’s a game you’re going to play yourself, with yourself, and for yourself. Ask freely when something goes deeper inside the veins but never acknowledge negative thoughts useless. This’s a rule of being neutral when you hang between two poles of positivity and negativity. It now depends on you, how you could be neutralized by balancing both the poles. Try not to neglect completely the negative emotions because the more you distract your thoughts from not diverting to negativity, the more they will go. Hence, accept the negativity but being polite with it and tolerate it by justifying whether this thought could be thinkable or not. Bypassing your ideas, moving apart, and placing them in the reverse of your remembrance isn’t making anything to encourage you to realize a confident method. These concepts will just increase and decay if you proceed to withdraw them.

Pull-on antecedent events

Remember backward to a past experience you had identical or comparable problems and feelings. What occurred in that circumstance? Did you focus appropriately on the event and gathered simultaneously the results required to compete for the situation? Or did you balance it rightly by considering both the negative and positive aspects but comparing them into different proportionate? It all comes into your experience and proves a helping hand for sorting out the present thought’s complexion leading the condition of spiral thoughts. Or also if you’re suffering from spiraling thoughts then here’s the right time to learn from past conquered situations. Maybe, in past, the results were not admirable but there one could collect immense considerations. You will get to know yourself; you were exceptional; the earth did not stop. Utilize these former activities to provide yourself energy and determination to walk ahead and not slip sick the rabbit hole.

Transform your anxiety treatment cycle

Our practice when negative thoughts start is to operate to the medication closet, grasp dozens of tablets, and disappear from the planet. Glancing behind, this is not the fittest resolution. Rather, attempt adjusting your method of behaving against anxiety jolts. Transform your port of medicine, move to a separate place, or neglect the job for several moments. Attempt to ingest fascinating activity, get swift jogging, make any yoga or still a small meditation, rather of going for the capsules or bunch of medicines. Seldom, a great large platform to perform walk and yoga accommodates more extra than an anti-anxiety medicine ever does. This step is necessary, as anxiety does what nothing others cannot. It becomes a base for standing a long-term thought, comes durational in front of the main thinking points, and leads to spiral thinking ultimately. Therefore, being addicted to immediate recovery from anxiety by taking 6-7 pills can affect a person’s immunity badly steadily and make nerves shrink after the passage of some time. Thus, it’s more beneficial for cutting off some time for spending on you to remain healthier and apart from spiral believes.

Sharing through Writing

We see the power of a single negative vibe; how it covers thousands of positive vibes and become dominant. But, sometimes, a single pinch of appreciation acts as enough therapy to get back to the normal life and live it fully. Some resources are present around that could provide a person free-of-cost, wide stage where he/she can say anything and share the opinions through words. Yes! Writing is the best therapy for overcoming spiraling thoughts promptly as it is the finest medium when a person is shy of being exposed in front of public and can’t speak confidently in a crowd thus cause spiral knots in thinking pattern. The writing will never let you down. There’ll be just you and your words to exhale out the exhaustion of some crucial events compiled in your mind and finding the way to expel out, where other people can submit their opinion too and admire your thinking abilities.

 

2.3 Changing Mindset to Live a Life with Positive Emotions

You may underestimate the power of positive thinking and emotions, but one has to understand that mental, as well as physical benefits associated with positive thinking and emotions, have been proved in a range of research studies. Your mindset is quite a crucial element of your personality because it determines how you behave and think. We generally see people around us who have a negative mindset, and they see wrong in everything. We have a clear perception about such people and think that talking to them is waste of time because they will never look at the positive side, so they will never discuss solutions; rather they always focus on problems. A negative mindset is a killing aspect of one’s personality because it kills your positivity and progress towards a happy and progressive life with peace of mind. On the other hand, a positive mindset is a blessing in so many ways. If you have a positive mindset, then you would feel more confident in your life. You would be stress-free, and will always find a positive solution to several problems, which you may face. This is the power of a positive mindset that people not only see good things in them, but they also seek good in others, which creates a feeling of peace and harmony.

However, if someone is dealing with a negative mindset filled with negative thinking and emotions; he/she would ask how can I get out of this mindset? What should I do to cultivate my negative mindset to develop a positive mindset? The answer is very simple to these questions; one has to show his/her commitment and effort to change his/her mindset. There are several ways, one can stay positive with his/her mindset, and if one has the real urge in him/her; changing mindset is not a big deal. It is just a regular practice of training your mindset to think positive, and feel positive, which ultimately leads to positive emotions. You just have to stay determined and focused in this regard. The first important step to take for changing your mindset is making a decision to be happy. You need to have a positive affirmation in your mind when you are starting a new day, and you have to practice this every day. It is so crucial to start your day with emotions and feelings of happiness and positivity as it will leave a positive vibe in your inner thoughts for the whole day. Bad thoughts or negative emotions can ruin your whole day, and then these days pile up to become months and years. So, just decide that you will try to be as positive and happy as possible, and you will not leave any stone unturned to cultivate your mindset. The next thing to change your mindset is to stay away from negative things and thoughts. The issues and obstacles in life is a common thing to happen, and if you will be stuck with each obstacle, you cannot move forward in your life. So, you need to stay calm and positive and focus on the positive aspects of things and situations to get out of trouble. If any bad incident has happened, then don’t allow your negative thoughts and emotions to control you, because they will ruin your whole day after that.

One thing that really can help to change your negative mindset, and help you to fill your life with positive emotions, and that is the company of good friends, who believe in positivity and happiness. Positive friends can be great companions in your pursuit to find a positive mindset filled with positive emotions. It is a fact that people having a negative kind of social circle always remain stuck in the world of negativity. We often see people around them, who always have bad and negative things to say about any topic linked with life like politics, society, sports, government system, people, etc. They will always show a negative side of the picture, and when you spend too much time with these kinds of negative people, you ultimately become one of them. So, it is quite critical to find a social circle, where people are more optimistic and positive about life. Stay with the people who always help you to see the brighter side of things, and always help you to deal with negative thoughts and emotions. Friends with a positive mindset will always help out each other, and they will be there to support when needed. They also help you to reflect on your thoughts and personality so that you can better understand the situation. In addition, try to consume your time with positive things like watching positive and inspirational shows and movies on television. You need to find books with topics, discussing and spreading an element of positivity and happiness.

It is observed that sometimes when people are faced with a situation ending with a failure; they turn all their energy and emotions into a world of negativity. That is not the way to handle failure in life. No one is perfect in this world, so why you blame yourself if you were not able to achieve something. If you have given your 100% with great honesty and commitment; then be proud of your efforts, rather than blaming and shaming yourself. It is a common mistake made by people that when they get failed to achieve something, they leave all the positivity of their personality, and become negative. They start becoming pessimistic, leaving the essence of optimism. You need to stay relaxed when you have failed because making mistakes is absolutely a normal thing to happen. The thing is to learn from those mistakes to turn those failures into great life lessons to come up with another plan to achieve success. All successful people in the world have faced failures several times in their lives. They were rejected and humiliated for their ideas and failures, but those who remained optimistic and positive, and learned from their mistakes; became great people remembered in history forever. So, failure is not the end of life, it is just another beginning for a new life. Moreover, to change your negative mindset, you need to start positive self-talk.
