Positive thinkers admit when they feel frustrated (受挫折的) or depressed, they don't ignore it.
But they don't blame themselves either. Instead, they try to understand the negative thoughts and
feelings and counter (反击) them with more positive ones.
So how do you stay positive, maintain motivated and sustain (保持) healthy behaviors? Here are
some tips:
Look for a good role model. There is always someone who seems to be doing just what you want
to be doing. Maybe they've scheduled exercise into their workday and switched from coffee to green tea.
Learn from a successful friend, family member or colleague. Ask them how they keep healthy and follow
in their footsteps.
Try some positive self-talk and avoid negative-talk. Take a minute to give yourself an ego boost. Repeat
some motivational words out loud to yourself. Negative talk such as"I can't do it," "I'm fat," is dangerous
for your well-being and healthy goals. Try to avoid the negative self-talk before it harms you. Remind
yourself that you deserve happiness and can make positive changes.
Get support. Tell your friends and family about your healthy habits. It helps to have an encouraging
network.
Reward yourself. Treat yourself to something for your healthy efforts. Take a nice bath, get a massage,
and enjoy a new DVD or CD.
Have a plan. Making a plan to exercise or eat healthy lunches with a friend can mean the difference of
sticking with your goals or falling off track. If you've planned for an activity, you'll likely stick with it.
You may even find that writing down your goals and steps to achieve them can help you stay on track.
Take it day by day or week by week. The process of writing down your personal action plan is a good
way to keep you honest and watch your progress or failures.
