Society defines pessimists as people who see everything around them in black. For some reason, it’s easier for them to see the negative manifestation of events and worry about it. Some consider this a character trait, and in medicine this condition is called "dysthymia". It turns out that such a state can and should be fought.
Instruction manual
one
Find the roots of your pessimism. This may be the reasons associated with a difficult childhood, the influence of pessimistic parents or long communication with people experiencing depression. Maybe all your friends consider you a pessimist? If any of the above has occurred in your life, and you do not want to be a pessimist anymore, stop feeling sorry for yourself and take care of yourself.
2
Use introspection. To do this, keep a personal diary and write down all your reasoning and conclusions. Recognize that a person is a creature that contributes to life, birth, development and growth. Pay attention to children. If everything is in order, they are smiling. But a sincere smile is characteristic not only of children, but also of adults. Analyze a couple of thoughts: "I was born. Why?" and "I have already won because I was born." It is curious that the chance of being born to a person is one in three hundred thousand billions, so you should not waste time. It's time to realize your dreams.
3
Stop planning a negative result of your affairs. Come up with a distracting maneuver. It can be any subject, phrase or color that just stops you. Then smile and think that things can turn out differently. Remember that negative experience is also experience. Sometimes, due to an incorrect assessment of events, a person can take the true good for the bad.
4
Be satisfied with yourself. Your thoughts should earn towards self-esteem. Understand and realize that there is a direct relationship: I am satisfied with myself - I am satisfied with my life. Daily draw yourself an image of the very self that you would like to become. Try to focus on those qualities of character that you like and would like in yourself. At the same time, try to behave according to the drawn image.
