It is difficult to remain positive when difficulties overtake you. It seems that a black streak has arrived and there is no bright spot in sight. At such moments, the most important thing is not to lose heart, and in this article I will tell you how to tune in to believe in the best. Don't think, but act. Constantly thinking about how bad your life is with some problem does not solve it. No matter how sad it may be, the proverb “if you want to live, know how to turn around” tells the truth: to achieve success, you need to work hard, be energetic, enterprising, and come up with new and new ways to achieve your goal. And when you get down to work, dealing with negative thoughts will actually become easier. Moreover, after a while they will completely go away because your hard work will produce results. Don't get hung up on things that don't depend on you. Unfortunately, there are problems that cannot be overcome. Negative memories burst into a person’s life and poison it. Until they get the opportunity to get a new look at them. Many people reproach themselves all their lives for not being able to protect a loved one from danger. These are the very problems that need to be solved within yourself. Don't try to influence events that are beyond your control. Instead, engage in self-analysis: accept the fact that not all problems can be solved by you and you are not responsible for the lives of other people. Learn to experience these negative emotions on your own or seek help from a specialist. Don't absorb all the negativity from outside. Constantly reading news about politics, medicine or disasters will only reinforce your negative view of the world. You will not only begin to be afraid of everything around you, but you will also close yourself off from the world. You see danger, risk in everything, and thoughts about it drive you crazy. This behavior may be a symptom of obsessive-compulsive disorder, in which case you should consult a specialist. Anxious thoughts should also not be stored, but let go and lived through. None of us are protected from diseases, disasters, inadequate people around, and it is unlikely that we will ever be able to arm ourselves from all sides. You must accept this fact as well. Keep your focus on yourself. If you see only the negative, you should pay attention to yourself and think: what good do I have now? What achievements can I be proud of? What brings me sincere happiness and overshadows all the bad? Look for that very ray of light, hidden, as it seems, in pitch darkness. And believe me, you will definitely find it. This could be meeting friends, going shopping, buying clothes or a new hobby. And remember - the black streak always becomes a runway. Moreover, you yourself can get closer to this long-awaited moment. With respect to you, psychologist Olga Bychkova!
