How does one change their mindset from their past to be more positive? I grew up with negative parents that had a negative outlook on life, which means I tend to be a negative person. Furthermore, I was teased in school growing up, have a hard time believing that anyone is fundamentally nice rather than fundamentally mean. Does anyone have any actual suggestions to keeping a positive outlook and how to repair that damaged psyche? I hear 'keep your chin up" and, yada yada. But does anyone have a real answer as to what specifically has helped to change your thinking/attitude towards something?
Can a positive mindset really change reality, or not really? We have now witnessed the ever-growing self-development, motivation, and mindset gurus & motivators in this era. Although this is not necessarily a bad thing, I do often wonder, if positive mindset can really change one’s reality or hard life circumstances, or not so much? for example, how about those people who, perhaps due to poor economic, social, family backgrounds, still have to work in cookie-cutter jobs, or doing those so-called boring, mundane, repetitive jobs such as in factory assembly line, office staffs, lifting heavy items/cargo, etc ? and the saddest fact of life: how about those who live in third-world poor country such as Africa? can one really ‘naively’ still think that positive mindset can & will change their desperate life circumstances? or, all this positive-mindset thing is just a thing developed by the ‘spoiled’ advanced country & people with more haves in life?
How can I keep a positive mindset? I'm struggling with social anxiety, and my main problem is that my eyes get uncontrollably teary when I get nervous, which can lead to a panic attack if I'm that stressed. I noticed that for big events (parties, sweet sixteens, etc.) I have very little problem with my anxiety, because somehow I get myself in a good mindset. but even from day to day, my mind can be completely opposite. One minute I could be really hopeless about it and not even want to face people, but another minute I could be confident and relaxed. So how can I stay hopeful and positive about my anxiety? It's far too easy to let the mind sink down into negativity.
How do I become less dependent upon others and maintain a positive mindset? I haven't been to school for one to one and a half years now. Necessarily, I haven't missed much; big statement, right? But it's true. Those whom surrounded me in the classroom really didn't seem interested in what was being taught to them by the teacher. They were more or less dictating their own lesson on boys, girls and everything that became relevant from there on out. Of course, I don't want to make excuses. Infact, I am probably, if not, definitely to blame entirely because I allowed myself to become distracted by people who I'll more than likely not see in three years time. Overall? I'm not at school at the moment. The kids who worked with me just didn't seem like the people I wanted to be around. Their personalities, their social structure - it just flat out confused me. I tend to think it's because of where I live. It's not a "great" place. I don't want to go on and on and on. So I'll shorten the length of my text. Overall? I've just started to get home tuition - of some sort, anyway. I'm going to be given work books from my school and all that I have to do is perform the tasks of which they're doing at school. It's really up to me whether or not I do the work; I'm not getting much support from anyone. My long term goal is to get straight A's all the way through to the IGCSE tests, and pass them to go onto College and obviously then move up to University. It seems very achievable, but sometimes I feel like I depend far too much on others to, for instance, provide me with certain things, like stationary equipment. I feel as if I could start today on my work, and yet, I am waiting for paper, pens, books. I take it I'm relying on other people for my future. I'm also, as I said, happy to partake in work at home. But I would like to know how to maintain a positive mindset. I want to achieve certain things in my life. But how? Also, try not to take notice of my immature username. It was an insider-based joke. Hood; dumb answer.

How do I positive mindset? For the last year and a half I have gone through hell. I'm 18 going into my sophomore of college. I have very low self esteem, confidence, and its lead me to depression and I became suicidal, but I don't want to kill myself anymore. I have no friends, after high school they all left and I couldn't make any new ones. I tried to do things like exercise and weight lifting to help keep my mind off of being depressed. I feel like I'm changing my personality. I've been told by various people that I'm a great guy I'm funny, friendly, fun, ect. I'm lonely, I miss having friends, being more outgoing. I have become very shy, especially around girls. It seems nothings gone my way. It's hard to think of anything I'm good at, I wish I was more like everyone else. I am currently seeing a psychologist. I find that a lot of things in public make me hate myself. I have a bad habit of comparing myself to others. My mom told me I am my worst enemy. I have slight fear of rejection, so I don't ask girls out, I don't even try. They are out of my league.

How can I help my preschool daughter with her self image? My daughter just finished her first year of school in an inner city preschool. Next year she will be attending a private school in the country. At the tale end of this year she began to ask why she wasn't pretty like the rest of the girls. She is only 4 years old and I somehow thought that this subject would come up later in her life. She is very lovely, cocoa colored hair, big brown eyes, peaches and cream skin, really very beautiful, many have remark on this. But somehow in her mind she feels less than. My concern is that in inner city the pressure to look pretty certainly wouldn't be a high as it will be in her new private school in the autumn.

Is clinical psychology a good career choice? A few people have told me that psychology courses at uni are "Mickey Mouse" courses, basically meaning that they don't really require any work and that psychologists are not as valued as psyciatrists.

I've had a positive mindset about this career choice to date and I don't want that to change so all I really need is some encouragement or maybe some sucess stories. Thanks.

True or false. It is possible to heal the body of diseases with a strong positive mindset? I know a lot of people will laugh off this idea, but there have been stories of people who were written off by doctors as to be dead in 6 months for eg, but such people would not accept it, used their mind to heal themselves, saw themselves as bigger than the disease. I think what kills a lot of people with serious illness is the diagnosis and not just the illness *( not saying all, but with many ) because when people hear the word cancer, they see death, but if somebody just saw it as an illness, and thought no biggie, im stronger than this disease, i think the survival rate might be much higher.. Its been proven that when you think positive you release natural positive healing chemicals in your body..... Its been proven that positive thinking is more powerful than negative thinking. So i think it is possible to heal the body of disease and illness with the correct strong mindset, where the person makes themselves sees themseves greater than the illnesss, and not a slave to the illness. You could call it a God given power if you are a believer i guess ..... What do you think ? ( by the way im not ruling out medical treatment ) but im saying the mind plays a big part
