A lot has been written about having a positive outlook. But what does that really mean? In the midst of the stress of everyday life and turmoil and tragedies of the world, it may sound like a difficult thing to have. There is much to be gained from learning how to be more positive.
For some people, negative thinking is their default way of approaching life. There are many who don’t see themselves as negative, but they believe themselves to be “realistic.” But negative thinking has a negative impact upon their health, and can sometimes become a self-fulfilling prophesy. They are often unaware of how their negative thinking has become habitual. Negative thinking affects self confidence and relationships. It is hard to live with someone who is a negative thinkers.
Working with a psychotherapist, one can develop awareness and insight to what underlies negative thinking. One can also learn how to develop more balanced, and positive attitudes. The impact upon self esteem, confidence, and relationships can be amazing.
