1. First, observe your thoughts.
It is effortless to say that a particular negative thought is running my life, but we never try to change it. Now the big question is how to develop the presence of mind. The first step is to do is whenever a negative thought crosses your mind stop it immediately. Otherwise, you will never get to know when that thought takes over your mind.
2. Influence of the people
We, as a human being, have a significant impact on what others say. Especially if it is something negative, then it affects us the most. Now the big question what if that person is non-avoidable, what if we can’t stay away from them. In that case, you listen to them what they are saying, not take their word emotionally. After the conversation with them, don’t overthink about what they have said to you.
3. Belief in your ability
When we see someone who is excellent in personality and with so much ability, that person influences us the most. We start doubting our self and start comparing us with that person. It is wrong because every human being on this earth is born with some uniqueness that others don’t have and if you tag yourself lower than anyone, you are insulting yourself. You also got some ability, but the thing is that you have to find out and belief in it.
4. Go ahead of experience.
We all have some experience, sometimes it is good, or sometimes it is terrible. When you went through some bad experience, you stick to that alarming incident that happened to you and That past harmful experience affects your present. Now the thing to remind yourself is you move on from that past bad experience. You have to focus on the present, how you can make your present best.
5. Leave which is not in your hand.
Sometimes a bad experience happened, and we try to blaim our self. For example, if we got second place in any competition, we start criticizing ourselves that I cannot win. Still, we forget to observe that we did so much of hard work for that and it’s a competition someone wins, and someone loses.
We have to think that we did our best instead of creating self-doubt. This self-doubt takes over thought, and after a while, it became our belief, and then we take action according to that belief.
6. Always listen to the right things.
There is full negativity spreading through mobile and television in today’s world, and we are continuously watching it, which affects our minds unknowingly. So it is in our hand that what to watch and listen and what to avoid. Instead of listening to these negative things, prefer reading books, motivational videos, and inspiring stories of successful people. It will affect your mind, and you will feel positive and inspired do to something great.
7. Don’t make an early perception.
We have a habit that we make an early perception by seeing something. For example, let’s went for a singing competition but unfortunately unable to go further in that competition. We start to complain that the show only takes that contestant who gives money.
They make this thought a belief which controls their mind to try one more time.
Final thought
We got one life, so it is up to you whether to give control to your mind or you control your mind.
