Are you someone who often feels bad? Are you a negative thinker? Do you worry a lot? Do you often get depressed? If one of these questions is your definition, this article might be worth reading. I will give advice on how to think more positively and what benefits this can bring that will help people feel better.
My name is Sana Khan and I've always been a negative person, I used to worry about most things in life and I was basically unhappy.
My life couldn't go on like this and I had to find a way out of this routine. I was now twenty-Seven years old and decided that this was enough. I started reading books about people who are successful in life and find them both interesting and useful.
One of the books I read was about golfer Tiger Woods. He is a very interesting character and a very good and successful golf player. He talked about how he always wears red and black in his clothes on the last day of each tournament. Red and black were chosen for their bold colors and represent what would be his attitude today. He's basically telling all the players he's going for it, don't be afraid, don't worry, he'll just attack. According to him, if he has this attitude and plays well, he will have every chance to win the tournament. Now obviously he can't win every tournament, but he seems to have won his fair share.
I remember feeling very nervous about attending an interview. This was exactly the kind of situation where I would be worried and stressed. I would even question why I was participating in the interview, as I was doomed to fail. This is of course an example of my negative attitude.
After reading all these books, I decided that worrying would definitely not help me and I needed to think positively. Since the pair I have is now old and tatty, I decided to go and buy a new suit. I will never forget to see myself in the mirror in this new suit, I looked extremely smart and was very proud of myself. Even wearing this new suit gave me a lot of self-confidence. I went to the interview feeling more positive than ever and acted like Tiger, I was just going to go and see what would happen.
The interview went well and the answers seemed to flow as my brain was pretty relaxed. I actually quite enjoyed the meeting and am happy to report that two weeks later this position was offered to me.
When I feel bad, now I go and buy myself new clothes. If I'm going to a social event I really don't want to go to, I wear these new clothes to give myself an extra boost of confidence. So I go with the right attitude, no more worries, no fears, I will have fun and if I am not in a good mood I will come home early.
I keep reading more and more books from many different successful people. I always aim to improve my life and at the same time I want to be successful. Now I worry and stress less than I used to, and I am generally happy with my life.
I also do a lot of sports and I try to play offensively. Attacking is assumed to be the best form of defense and it is much more enjoyable to play sports this way. For example, when playing pool, I'm even upset because I always try to wear red and black.
