Morning friends; Just a Thursday share; Whos the Boss? You remain to be the only reason for your happiness. The reason why people are never happy with the past is simply; They find the past better than it was, the future worse than it will be and the present being less resolved than it is. At first glance, it would seem that positive thinking and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) have nothing to do with one another. But many of us with ADD develop negative thinking patterns because we become frustrated by our challenges and frequent feelings of being overwhelmed. This negative outlook then makes it even harder for us to manage those challenges and move forward. Practicing positive thinking allows people with ADD to focus on our strengths and accomplishments, which increases happiness and motivation. This, in turn, allows us to spend more time making progress, and less time feeling down and stuck. The following tips provide practical suggestions that you can use to help you shift into more positive thinking patterns: 1. Take Good Care of Yourself. Its much easier to be positive when you are eating well, exercising, and getting enough rest. 2. Remind Yourself of the Things You Are Grateful For. Stresses and challenges dont seem quite as bad when you are constantly reminding yourself of the things that are right in life. Taking just 60 seconds a day to stop and appreciate the good things will make a huge difference. 3. Look for the Proof Instead of Making Assumptions. A fear of not being liked or accepted sometimes leads us to assume that we know what others are thinking, but our fears are usually not reality. If you have a fear that a friend or family members bad mood is due to something you did, or that your co-workers are secretly gossiping about you when you turn your back, speak up and ask them. Dont waste time worrying that you did something wrong unless you have proof that there is something to worry about. 4. Refrain from Using Absolutes. Have you ever told a partner Youre ALWAYS late! or complained to a friend You NEVER call me!? Thinking and speaking in absolutes like always and never makes the situation seem worse than it is, and programs your brain into believing that certain people are incapable of delivering. 5. Detach From Negative Thoughts. Your thoughts cant hold any power over you if you dont judge them. If you notice yourself having a negative thought, detach from it, witness it, and dont follow it. 6. Squash the ANTs. In his book Change Your Brain, Change Your Life, Dr. Daniel Amen talks about ANTs - Automatic Negative Thoughts. These are the bad thoughts that are usually reactionary, like Those people are laughing, they must be talking about me, or The boss wants to see me? It must be bad! When you notice these thoughts, realize that they are nothing more than ANTs and squash them! BE THE BOSS! EVERY REASON TO SMILE; YOU’VE GOT IT. To be Continued…. Lovely and an accomplishing Thursday. Almighty Bless.
