How can I become more of a positive person?
I had this problem after my parents divorce for many years but then I realised that I didn't like thinking negatively all the time so what I did was when I started to think of something negative, for example, test results, I changed it to something positive. As soon as I thought "I'm going to get awful marks" I changed it to "Actually, I'm going to get good marks" and if I didn't get those good marks then I'd tell myself "it's OK because I've got room to improve and I'll do better next time." I also cut positive things out of magazines and newspapers and put it on the wall opposite my bed so when I wake up and sit up, that's basically the first thing I saw so I've got stuff like "Happy" "Love" "Friendship" etc. even "The Bravest Woman in The World". At first it was a little hard to keep saying these things to myself and changing things from a negative to a positive but in a short amount of time it became really easy and it actually comes naturally to me to be positive about things. Also, try writing things down on a card or a posted note with things like "Anything is Possible" "Every cloud has Silver Lining" "When one door shuts another two open" or "Do not follow where the path may lead. Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail." You could also put these on your wall or even in a drawer and just take a look at them every day just to remind you. These things all worked for me so hopefully, if you try them, they'll work for you too. Good Luck!
How can i become a more positive person? I am so negative and it is really affecting everything in my life?
The reason you are negative can be many things but not your karma. You must be sorrounded by negative people, anything you do or say might be taken in the negative. Just think about a small note I read in a magazine when I was very very young, which had changed my way of thinking it was..... I was crying for new shoes when I saw someone without a leg. You do not know the blessings you are sourrounded with because your mind is looking out for the negatives. when I broke my leg bone into four pieces. After the accident I was sitting on the road my mind was not sad about my broken legs but it was thinking about reading an article a few months back in readers digest about a basketball player loosing his leg and later fixing an artficial leg and playing basketball with that leg. I was thinking if he can play with it I will be able to walk with it. but my leg healed and now I am walking with my leg. Another very very important thing is never cross the bridge before you come to it otherwise you will be crossing it several time. However big the problem seems to be when you have to solve it, it will be a minor one. Do not listen to anyone into telling you to take any drugs to help you feel better, your mind is very strong if you channalise it to see the positive in everything you will within a short time become a POSITIVE PERSON

What's the best way to become a more positive person?
Some experiences can traumatize you. There might have been a time in your past when you considered yourself as happy and positive, but now when you look at yourself, you are really trying to find that person inside of you and questioning yourself if that person really existed. Was that your true identity and this is a sham, or is this who you actually are?Though thoughts like these might seem tempting to ponder over at first, but you need to understand that there is NO point in giving these thoughts any energy. What I am be writing are effective techniques and teaching from various religions, please search them if they are new to you.Firstly, giving energy to negative thoughts. If you ruminate about something negative over and over, you are actually giving out negative energy to the nature. You must have heard of this immensely popular phrase “You receive what you give.” This is one context in which where this idea holds true. So after thinking all negative thoughts, don’t expect to get something positive back from nature.Now, the next problem is after mentioning the above point, chances are you will spend more time thinking about your problem. I said this because you’ll also be thinking about how much you’re thinking about this (if not already!) and find a means to justify whatever is happening to you. But this is where you are wrong. You need to understand that consciously trying to block a thought will not work. The reason is that this thought of yours, when being blocked by your brain, is still getting your attention and thus your energy. Instead, let the thought come, observe it but DO NOT REACT to it. When you catch yourself thinking negative thoughts, slowly divert your mind to the more positive things in your life. This is also called meditation.Cut off negative, toxic people from your life. It’s a popular belief that you are the average of 5 people you spend most of your time with. Thus you can see that when you yourself are trying to become positive, how harmful the company of a negative person can be for you.Also, start seeing a psychologist if there is something you want to talk about.Cheers.Hitesh
How can I be a more, happy, positive person?
I've always been a very sad, depressed, negative person. I have clinical depression, I don't believe in love, and I don't like myself very much at all. I see myself as an ugly, idiotic, selfish person. But I want to stop being that way. That's where you come in. I want to be happier, and have more self esteem. I want to be more positive, and actual look forward to everyday. I also want to know how to make myself feel better when I am sad. So, how can I be a more happy, positive person? And what can I do to cheer myself up when I start to feel sad? Any ideas?

Is it possible to influence a negative person to become more positive?
When it comes to self-esteem, negativity managing motivational conflicts can be difficult. As people, we are capable of being irrational reacting out of any number of emotions at any given time. I came across this article “how rational argument can change minds,” by Tom Stafford, a Lecturer in Psychology and Cognitive Science at the University of Sheffield (Strafford, 2016). His theory is emotions can persuade people and entrench them with biases. Modern psychology and neuroscience are challenging this assessment by providing recent research on how arguments through persuasion can change minds. The five conflict styles demonstrate how conflict does not have to be perceived as just a negative but can provide insight to other ways to gain resolution by handling conflict from several different angles (Vandeveer, & Menefee, 2009 p. 171). The text informed its readers that 62 percent of the primary issues resulting from the conflict between employees and their employers resulted from issues regarding goals, rejection of performance evaluations and feedback, workload assignments, and scheduling (Vandeveer, & Menefee, 2009 p. 175).Scripture says that God is the only one that can judge, for it is only him that can save and destroy. So why do we feel we have the right to stand in judgment of others (James 4:12 English Standard Version ESV)? In my current position as a case manager, my purpose is not to fix or change our population but to give support in such a way they will not only receive it but feel comfortable about how the support will help them. When individuals understand and learn ways to better deal with conflict can they begin to see the conflict from different perspectives? Traditional views say that conflict is to be avoided, human relations view says that conflict is a natural part of life, the problem comes when a person over-analyzes all the “whys” and “how comes” for which answers may never present themselves. The interactionist view sees conflict as potential and possibility for change (Vandeveer, & Menefee, 2009 p. 177). I hope this post helps with some semblance for the answer you were looking for.
