PSYCHOLOGY OF POSITIVE THINKING: TIPS FOR FULFILLED LIFE

Positive thinking means approaching life's challenges with a positive outlook. It does not necessarily mean avoiding or ignoring the bad things; instead, it involves making the most of the potentially bad situations, trying to see the best in other people, and viewing yourself and your abilities in a positive light.

What you see as half empty, other may see the same thing as half full. Your perception or view about life relates directly to the concept of positive thinking and whether you have a positive or negative outlook on life.

Positive thinking plays an important role in positive psychology, a subfield devoted to the study of what makes people happy and fulfilled.

Positive thinking can aid in stress management and even plays an important role in your overall health and well-being. Below are nuggets on positive thinking that will change your psychological view on situation and life:

1. Don't complicate life. We won't be here forever. Once this day is over, it's gone forever. Your time is too valuable to waste on nonsense.
