7 METHODS TO RE-TRAIN OUR BRAINS TO BE MORE POSITIVE

Maintaining a positive frame of mind is beneficial both, mentally and physically. Although it sounds appealing and seems the obvious and proper choice in which to conduct ourselves, maintaining a positive mindset needs to be exercised and practiced. Science is showing that there are a variety of ways to retrain our brains to achieve a more positive mindset.-

Here are seven science-based methods that can help:

1. Practice gratitude – One of the best ways to retrain our brain to be more positive is to practice gratitude. When we focus on the good things in our life, it helps to put things in perspective and makes it easier to find the silver lining in difficult situations.
2. Use positive affirmations – Repeating positive affirmations will help to rewire our brain and can have a powerful effect on our mood and outlook on life.
3. Smile – Even if you don’t feel like smiling, forcing ourself to do so can help to boost our mood. When we smile, our brain releases dopamine, which makes us feel good.
4. Exercise – Exercise is not only good for our physical health, but it’s also great for our mental health. It helps to release endorphins, which have mood-boosting effects.
5. Spending time with positive people – hanging out with negative people can often bringus down while spending time with positive people has the opposite effect. Positive people can help to lift us up and make us see the world in a more positive light.
6. Take care of yourself – If we’re not taking care of ourselves both physically and mentally, it’s going to be difficult to be positive regardless of how much effort is put in. Havingproper sleep, eating a healthy diet, and taking some time for yourself every day to relax and de-stress is crucial to maintaining mental and physical health.
7. Practice meditation – Meditation is a great way to train our mind to be more positive and peaceful. It helps us to focus on the present moment and clear away negative thoughts and emotions.

The key to happiness lies in our ability to control our thoughts and focus on the positive. And while it may seem like a daunting task, with a little effort, it is possible to retrain your brain to think more positively.

What are some things we can do to retrain our brain for a more positive outlook?  

1. Contemplate on positive thoughts as opposed to negative ones – Make a concerted effort to look for the good in every situation, no matter how small. 
2. Perform Random Acts of kindness – when you help others, you help yourself.
