Life Changing Mindset

How do you get out of a negative mindset?

I was just wondering, how to get out of a negative mindset...and always thinking I'm nothing great. People say differently, but it's hard to get myself to believe it. And I have hard time trusting people too..just don't know what to do.

1. Self-esteem is something connected to your childhood, parents and your experiences in life. It is also connected to your mind, better still it's all in your mind. You must learn to look at your self in a more positive way..You said that people say differently so there is no reason for you to think other way.

2. Believe in yourself...look for the positive in everything you do and say and act...always think positive thoughts and that energy will come back to you bringing you positive feelings for yourself, and all the possibilities you are capable of being and doing...do for other's that always makes you feel great even if it's just something really simple as opening a door, make someone smile, compliment them, the feeling will come back to you...it's all about how you treat other's and not focus just on yourself...and you can't go around not trusting people...some yes, if you have good reason, but do you really want to live like that...?...Trust in your gut, in yourself, in the ones that love you, and that's all that counts...so quit thinking anything negative, go have fun, make someone happy, make yourself happy doing something positive for yourself...just keep the negative, out of your thoughts, and it won't happen overnight, but, if you do it enough, think positive things it will eventually all come to you positive back...

3. Can you say I AM ........... for the rest of your life that is a start .you see; because your thoughts need first to think positive things and how to do that by speaking positive things in your life the act on them.or maybe change your environment, or your friends who hang with. maybe your struggling with hurt and pain from the past or unforgiveness of some who hurt you. this too can contribute of been negative.suggest forgive and move on with your life please you will not regret it you will be free ok

4. Hi Jonathan
You don’t believe anybody because your believe system goes back when you were little, very little indeed. When you were precious little child, in like most cases, something went wrong, horribly wrong, that made you came to this conclusion that you are not great. What may have happened to you, do you remember? Did you feel like you didn’t matter, or perhaps that you were a bargain to somebody? When was the first time you felt this way, what were you doing, or failing to do? Who was there with you at that time or who failed to be there for you?
When you reexamine your feelings, you will understand that those conclusions that you came to, very early in your life, and those conclusions only are stopping you from your greatness. Then you make a decision to replace those old believes with the new ones. When you do all this, you will no longer remain in disbelieve when somebody tells you that you are great and you will agree with them. Hey, you will even agree with me when I tell you this: Jonathan, my dear Jonathan, y o u a r e t h e g r e a t e s t! You will know that I’m not just saying it to make you feel better; but simply because this is just the way it is. Nothing, except for our own believes, will change the fact that every single one of us is part of the Greatest Thing some people call God, and therefore we are all great!

5. set small goals at first to build your self esteem. Then when you are more confident move to larger goals. Before long you will look back to how much you have accomplished and will be thinking highly of yourself.

6. My problem is a bit different, but not fun either. I feel that my technical background is not recognized at work. I'm going on 60, have lost a good job, and so of the less qualified people seem to think that because of the jobs I'm given, they're somehow smarter than me. At least that's the way they rub me. It's probably my age that's holding me back, but it really gets to me at times. Very depressing. I'm sure that you have talents which others do not. Being a decent person means a lot to me. If you're thoughtful, fair, considerate, and not someone caught up in yourself, you've got a lot going for you. I don't know your situation, but i got a good start in the Navy. They push pride, and value in you and your shipmates. I miss the common bond we had, and the mutual respect that seems to be missing in every day workers. Personal character can not be underscored. The kind of person you are will carry you a long way. Don't judge yourself, instead believe that you can make a difference where ever you go. Perhaps if we both try to enjoy other peoples' company, we won't worry so much about our value. Being ther for others is a great thing! Let's both stop recycling the garbage thoughts that are controlling our lives!
I hope this helps you.
