Positive thinking, positive thoughts............A Simple Exercice....

Thinking about things that have gone well and how you’ve made them happen can help you feel happier. It’s called positive thinking. Here’s an exercise to get you thinking more positive thoughts, more often.

Positive thinking, positive thoughts

It’s easy to spend a lot of time thinking about things that have gone wrong.
Although we can all learn from mistakes, it’s not helpful to spend a lot time thinking about negative things. This can lead to worry and stress.
This is where positive thinking and positive thoughts come in.

Positive thinking exercise

Try this exercise to get you into the habit of spending more time thinking positive thoughts about things that have gone well and why.
People who do this positive thinking exercise say they feel happier, less worried and less sad.
  1. Each day for the next week, give yourself 10-15 minutes before you go to sleep to write down three things that went well and why. This could be something as simple as ‘My son gave me a nice smile this morning’. Or it might be a major event – for example, ‘I booked our family holiday’.
  2. Underneath each ‘This went well today’, write what you did to make it happen. For example, if you put ‘My son gave me a nice smile today’, you could write, ‘I smiled and he smiled back’.
  3. It might feel odd to do this at first, but it gets easier with practice. Try to give it a go for a week. Check your notes at the end of the week.
  4. Share this exercise with family and friends.

Building Self-Confidence...

What is Self-Confidence? Two main things contribute to self-confidence: self-efficacy and self-esteem. We gain a sense of  self-efficacy  when we see ourselves (and others similar to ourselves) mastering skills and achieving goals that matter in those skill areas. This is the confidence that, if we learn and work hard in a particular area, we'll succeed; and it's this type of confidence that leads people to accept difficult challenges, and persist in the face of setbacks. Building Self-Confidence So how do you build this sense of balanced self-confidence, founded on a firm appreciation of reality? The bad news is that there’s no quick fix, or five-minute solution. The good news is that becoming more confident is readily achievable, just as long as you have the focus and determination to carry things through. And what’s even better is that the things you’ll do to build your self-confidence will also build success – after all, your confidence will come fr...

WHAT IS SHYNESS AND WHY SOME PEOPLE SHY (VIDEOS INCLUDED)

What Is Shyness? Shyness is an emotion that affects how a person feels and behaves around others. Shyness can mean feeling uncomfortable, self-conscious, nervous, bashful, timid, or insecure. People who feel shy sometimes notice physical sensations like blushing or feeling speechless, shaky, or breathless. Shyness is the opposite of being at ease with yourself around others. When people feel shy, they might hesitate to say or do something because they're feeling unsure of themselves and they're not ready to be noticed. Reacting to New Things New and unfamiliar situations can bring out shy feelings — like the first day of school, meeting someone new, or speaking in front of a group for the first time. People are more likely to feel shy when they're not sure how to act, what will happen, how others will react, or when all eyes are on them. People are less likely to feel shy in situations where they know what to expect, feel sure of what to do or say, or are among ...
