14 Tips To Stay Positive During Tough Times

1. Everything starts with how you feel about yourself. Feel worthy. Feel special. Feel deserving of the best in life. Those who seem to have the best in life are no different than you. And you can also feel different by believing yourself to be deserving of the best.
2. If your present situation won’t matter in 5 years, don’t spend more than 5 minutes worrying about it. No amount of discouragement can destroy you. Worry about what’s gonna happen in the 5 years that matter.
3. Positivity can be deliberately triggered by the same chemicals in the brain (neurotransmitters) that trigger happiness and joy—dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins. The good news is that the brain doesn’t care whether you’re happy or sad. All it responds to is the stimuli to be happy or sad, and it begins to respond immediately by releasing the corresponding chemicals.
4. 2020 was not the worst year of your life. It was the year when nature re-asserts itself as an authority over humans. In fact, it could be the best year yet, because it awakened humanity to the realities of life and challenged our mental faculties to the effect that nature is still the least understood phenomenon in our universe.
5. Tough times don’t come to destroy you—they come to bring out the best in you. When tough times come, don’t just concentrate on survival or ways to escape, otherwise you’ll miss the big picture. Open your mind and look for ways to take advantage.
6. Even when all doors are closed, there’s always an escape plan. Don’t give up. Keep looking. Keep searching. Keep knocking. Someone will come to the scene, who doesn’t like the persistent noise of your knockings.
7. Tough times don’t last but tough people do. How will know you’re tough unless you’ve been tried and tested through fire? How can diamonds be made unless they’re subjected to pressure and heat?
8. Maintaining a positive mental attitude can defeat the most cruel of situations. Negativity will definitely break the toughest man or woman. When it comes to mind over matter, mind always wins.
9. Hope cuts through despair like a candle light shinning through darkness or like laser cutting through metal, or like a hot knife cutting through butter. No amount of darkness, however intense, will ever put out the candle light. History is full of hopeful men and women who overcame great obstacles, and also full of desperate men and women who had no hope.
10. The purpose to exist is stronger than the toughest time. If you find yourself desperate and on the verge of giving up, the bet way to survive is to find a valid purpose to live. More importantly, find a good purpose to live for others.
11. The best way to stay positive during tough times is to stay active. Just do something. Be active. Do anything, but don’t be passive. Use your imagination. If you’re in a prison cell, imagine that you’re in a track field and jog around your cell. If you’re in a lockdown, exercise your body. Imagine you’re in a gym. Punch the air. Never allow yourself to be static. Maintain focus. Breathe in and out before and after each session of exercise.
12. Develop a morning ritual, day ritual and evening ritual. Don’t allow yourself to succumb to situations that make you stagnant. Always make sure you’re growing. Good and bad times are part of life, so never let them retard you.
13. Don’t make a mountain out of a molehill. What you fear will never happen. Most of what you fear is just imagination. What you focus on most, grows bigger in your mind. And what you focus on less, shrinks in size.
14. Finally, the best way to stay positive during tough times is to stay close to someone who is positive enough and close to you. Two people are better than one. Three are even better. And if you have no one, don’t die yet. Someone who has you in mind has already been sent to you.

26 Living Secrets To Being Confident

1. Drink a glass of cold water every morning when you wake up. Think of that glass of water as new life just added into your body. The water will create a balance in your body between your brain and the rest of the body.
2. Breathe in deeply and hold your breath for a few seconds. Then release your breath slowly—not at once, holding it after every few seconds. Repeat three or four times.
3. Look in the mirror and tell the person you see in the mirror, “You’re beautiful and wonderfully made. You were created to defeat every adversity, whether internal or external, with finality.”
4. Meditate for about 10 to 20 minutes and flush out every negative thought. Banish every negative thought and determine it should never invade your thoughts again. Replace every negative thought with 5 positive ones and write them down and cram them.
5. Perform some basic physical exercises like push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, squats, jogging, etc. Increase these gradually until your body begins to complain, then move on to the next level. Make it a daily routine.
6. Studies have shown that people are actually stronger than they think or feel. Look in the mirror once again and make a good laugh, even if there’s nothing funny to laugh about.
7. Don’t eat your breakfast in a hurry to avoid upsetting the system, but eat a good breakfast rich with energy foods like cereals, eggs, milk and fruits, but don’t fill your stomach.
8. If you’re walking, walk faster than the average person and don’t stoop when walking or standing. Straighten up and walk upright with a steady gait.
9. When walking in the street, look at a point slightly above the people walking in the opposite direction. They’ll most likely give way, which will certainly give you more confidence.
10. If you’re driving, drive carefully, but don’t mind about the other drivers or what they say about you or your car. If they wave at you or smile at you, wave back or smile back, but don’t exaggerate it.
11. Never mind what other people think bout you, or how you dress, or the color or style of your shoes, but concentrate more about yourself and your own thoughts.
12. When someone asks you a question, don’t answer immediately. Give yourself time to think about the question before you answer. The brain will gain more confidence to process information before answering questions. Don’t answer questions you’re unsure of.
13. Look people in the eye for a few seconds but not long enough to embarrass them. Making eye contact is key to self-confidence, but don’t overdo it.
14. Smile even when other people are serious. And look serious when other people are smiling. They’ll get confused and think you’re different.
15. When people stare at you, don’t stare back at them directly. Stare at a point slightly above their eyes. Then drop your stare and look at their shoes. They’ll think something is wrong with their shoes.
16. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Majority of people who don’t ask questions show a lack of confidence and fear.
17. Don’t be afraid to speak. If you’re an introvert, practice extroversion, until your self-confidence grows.
18. Stop comparing yourself to others, and remember that being loud may just be a sign of fear or lack of confidence. Detach yourself and stop looking up to others.
19. Believe in yourself. Think of yourself as unique and different, and that there’s no one exactly like you in the whole world.
20. Remember, everybody is just like you and as confident as you. The only difference is the courage they have.
21. Develop the confidence to say “NO”. This is a symbol of inner strength, and remember, making mistakes is not a sign of weakness.
