When you are at work, it is all too easy to drag yourself down with negative thoughts. Thinking ‘I hate my job’ or ‘I’m bored’ or ‘I never intended to end up in this field’ is normal, but this kind of thinking can drag you down and reduce your emotional wellness and wellbeing. Negative thoughts spiral and become a way of life, and this can eat away at you, reducing your chances of having a good working atmosphere or reaching career goals.
Complementary therapy can help you turn those minus signs into plus signs, and start seeing things in a brighter light. This can improve all areas of your life, as business success leads to improved lifestyle or career prospects, and confidence in the workplace can also translate to confidence at home.
First of all, you need to be mentally alert, and force yourself to become aware of the negative thoughts. Being conscious about what you are thinking will enable you to spot those little nagging negative voices and quell them as quickly as you can.
You do need to be patient with yourself though – not all negative thoughts are avoidable, and you will cause yourself undue stress if you attempt to never have a negative thought.
One good tactic for improving your mood and wellbeing is to become very aware of exactly what it is you are feeling. Identifying the feelings that lead to the negative thoughts can help to get at the root of the problems.
It may also sound like a cliché, but looking around at your life and appreciating the good things can also be very positive. Use this positive thinking during difficult moments to remind yourself why you want to and deserve to be positive. Keep telling yourself affirming thoughts, too, such as ‘I can do this’ and ‘I’ve succeeded at this before and I can succeed again’.
