We will start this video with some of the good habits of the mind. 35. Practice awareness of your negative thoughts during the day. The act of suppressing thoughts and feelings can be bad for our physical health and cause stress. On the other hand, being aware of your negative thoughts can alert you to the things that need attention and that you need to change. 36. Once you are aware of your negative thought patterns, practice interrupting the thoughts and thinking or doing something positive. The more the negative thoughts come up, the harder it becomes to think positively because the neural pathways in our brains actually become rewired to allow easier negative thinking. Interrupting your negative thoughts with positive ones will help you to see life in a more positive light in general. 37. Take 5 minutes a day to contemplate everything you are grateful for. Expressing appreciation and being thankful can reduce depression, lower blood pressure, increase energy and happiness, and even prolong your life! Gratitude also increases the feel-good neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin and helps you deflect those negative thoughts. Consider writing down a list of the things you’re grateful for every evening, or create a gratitude list in your head. 38. Write down positive affirmations about the way you want your day or a particular situation to unfold, then say them out loud to yourself in the morning. Affirmations are positive statements that can help you to challenge and overcome self-sabotaging and negative thoughts. When you repeat them often, and believe in them, you can start to make positive changes. Self-affirmation may also help to mitigate the effects of stress. 39. Spend five minutes mentally reliving a happy memory including as much detail as you can remember. Memories of happy experiences — especially ones that involve social interaction — seem to benefit people because they reshape how we see ourselves for the better. Studies have even found that over time, reliving positive memories seemed to reduce the brain's tendency to fire up its negative thought pathways. 40. Challenge your mental assumptions about people or expected outcomes. Challenging our assumptions teaches us to question why something happens or prove otherwise. When we challenge an assumption based on a thought we have, we can help prove or disprove our thoughts. This can help to encourage an open mind, while also breaking that negative thoughts cycle. 41. Practice a mental mind shift where you accept you are capable of far more than you previously believed. A strong belief in yourself will help you to build confidence like nothing else will. When you recognise your ability to accomplish goals, you can be optimistic about the future as you set goals and achieve them. It’s a powerful feeling to know deep down inside that you can do anything you put your mind to. 42. Review any recent or past failures or mistakes for a few minutes a day, and think about what you learned from them and how you can apply what you learned. We need to learn from our mistakes so that we don’t run the risk of repeating them. Good judgment will only develop if you truly learn from your mistakes, so, painful as it may be, thinking back to that time you messed up can have its benefits. 43. Mentally challenge yourself during a project or task to push yourself just beyond your comfort zone or a bit longer when you want to quit. When in your comfort zone, your brain doesn't want anything to change. Getting out of your comfort zone from time to time creates just enough good stress to ramp up your focus, creativity, pace, and drive, and it helps you respond to life stress when unexpected things happen. 44. Take up a mentally challenging hobby like crossword puzzles, Suduko, or other brain games to keep your brain active. Research shows that keeping your brain active increases its vitality. Doing new things in new ways appears to help retain brain cells and connections, and may even produce new brain cells. So tasks like crossword puzzles will help to keep your brain healthy by giving it something challenging and new to work at.
