Counterproductive thinking can result in negative emotions such as fear, worry, and helplessness, all of which prevent people from reaching their goals. Practicing positive thinking strategies can promote more empowering feelings that make setting and achieving goals more likely. Below are three approaches to improving one's outlook.
Visualization - Imagining the desired outcome creates a natural source of motivation and makes goals feel more urgent and attainable. For example, someone who would like to eventually travel the world may envision themselves taking off on a plane or go ‘window shop’ for plane tickets online.
Inspiration - Hearing the stories of others who have attained similar goals can boost positivity and encourage people to overcome obstacles. Some good sources for inspirational stories include social groups for like-minded people, podcasts, and autobiographies.
Affirmations - Affirmations are statements that express the desired goal as if it has already been achieved. Affirmations such as 'I am in the best shape of my life’ can counter negative thoughts by serving as reminders of why pursuing a certain goal is important.
