Hello Community
What do you do to maintain a positive attitude during difficult times? Explain with examples.
Talking about a positive attitude is a topic of great truths and how people assimilate it. From a social media perspective, there's a lot of information on this topic and it tends to be confusing. Being positive or having a positive attitude is an achievement that takes months; it can even take years to understand how it works.
The mind is a serious thing, and you have to fully understand how it works. I learn a little more every day.
Every generation goes through difficult times. I remember the conversations my parents had when I was a child, and they would comment on how difficult the situation was. This was decades ago. My thought back then was, if it's difficult now, what will it be like when I start a job and have to support myself? That was an unnecessary worry because the years went by and things got tougher. However, my focus was on thriving, studying, and living despite the complaints of others about their situations.
It's true, the situation in my country has changed a lot in every way with the shift in political ideas. This has led millions of people to different ways of life.
I remember when my children were young, I always told them, "Let's focus on preparing ourselves academically and see what we have, not what we lack; step by step, we'll achieve it." When we realize it, we'll be more focused on navigating the situation so it doesn't overwhelm us.
I still think that every time is difficult, or there are things that make us feel that way; it's each person's attitude that makes the difference in moving forward. Trusting in what we do or what I do is important to maintaining my positive attitude.
Nowadays, with everything we hear on social media, we learn about situations occurring in countries we may never be there, about governments, floods, fires, that are far away from us. I remember this phrase: Everything is fine, everything is fine, everything that is happening is for the Greater Good, and I am safe… It's a way to stay in the present and realize that none of this is happening around me. It may or may not happen, but I feel safe because I'm on this side of the world.
Reviewing our belief system is another thing that would help us maintain our positive attitude, just like the reference my parents made when I was a child… However, we have gone through many paths, and here I am more positive than ever, trusting in my Creator, understanding that everything is within us and that is where we must work, without thinking about difficult times, we should only observe whether it suits us or not; Or if something happens, breathe and stay calm so ideas for how to solve it come to mind. We're human, and everyone lives their own story according to what they've decided to live. It's a matter of choice and how we view the world around us.
At this point, my anecdote is this: I don't know what happened to my laptop. It turned off, and I didn't have time to plug in the charger. Everything I had written to share that week was erased. Then it wouldn't respond, it turned back on, and it just froze, as we say. So, I got up from my chair, went to the kitchen, and did what I had to do there... I forgot about it, I didn't even think it had happened... So, here's my post again... not the same as the first one, but I did it...
Positive Attitude?
