How to Stay Positive When You Are in a Negative Environment
We
often end up being in a negative environment for a short time or sometimes even
for a long term. The best example to this is unemployment. In this economic
condition when everyone is losing his or her jobs, negativity often sets into a
person. Some people who lose their jobs get a new job within a short span of
time, while others have to wait. Some people live optimistically to land some
job one day or the other while others get into a depression. However, studies
show that optimistic people achieve greater success. This means a person who
keeps hope lands up a job faster than one who gets frustrated.
The
frustration and depression reflects on your cover letter and that results in
denial of jobs by the employer. An employer can easily find out a low
self-esteemed person from a high esteemed person. A low esteemed person has
lesser productivity. Therefore, why should a company employ a person who has
less productivity and make a loss? Being a negative person, you also search for
the wrong job opportunities and thus end up missing more jobs. Therefore,
instead going into a depressed state, stand up straight, take things in your
stride and keep hope.
One
good technique to stay positive in a negative environment is jot down the
positive things that come to your mind or that exists in your life. Do this on
a daily basis. For instance, write the names of people who love you, all the
possessions that you have acquired these years by sheer hard work and so on.
Also, note at least one positive thing that you have done in the day. This will
make you feel that you are not useless. You can do the world some good. This
feeling is important to stay positive in a negative environment.
In
days when pessimism is likely to set into your mind, engage yourself more in
outdoor activities that interest you. You might be a little hesitant at first
to go out, but once you go out and engage yourself in the outdoor activities
you will start thinking positively. For instance, if you love playing
badminton, play badminton for at least two hours every day. Think that you have
a holiday and you are pursuing your interests and hobbies during this holiday.
Engaging yourself in your interests is not a waste of time rather it is useful.
Therefore,
following these few tips you can definitely stay positive even if you are in a
negative environment.
