12 May Feeling overwhelmed by your current challenges Struggling with the ongoing uncertainty and feeling isolated

Sometimes certain situations arise in life that makes it hard to keep a positive outlook. Receiving news that your child has Cerebral Palsy or Autism or learning that a loved one has Cancer are definitely one of these situations. Developing an optimistic outlook can be good for both your physical and mental health. Positive thinking can lead to a lot of positive change in your life. Start taking positive steps to make positive thinking become more second nature and you can make it through during the hard times.

Here are 5 Top Tips to develop positive thinking:

1. Focus on what you can control
Things in your control can be as simple as your daily and nightly routine, what you eat, and what you wear each day. They can also be as profound as how you speak to yourself, how you’ll pursue your beliefs and goals, and how you’ll respond under pressure.

2. Limit your media intake
Limiting how much time you spend watching the news, listening to the radio, and scrolling through social media can help restore a sense of normalcy while reducing your sense of dread. This doesn’t mean ‍♂️putting your head in the sand, but being knowledgeable and respectful of your own emotional and psychological limits.

3. Invest in the uplifting
Surrounding yourself with uplifting media, people, activities, and thoughts can help encourage a more optimistic and joyful mindset, even in the face of stress and loss.

4. Set a personal schedule and goals
Using your time wisely, sticking to a routine, and being productive help promote a sense of hope that you and life are progressing.

5. Do your part
Participating in the Early Intervention Therapy for your child or helping cook meals for a loved one who is sick are ways which you can help improve the their situation and make a difference.

Don’t lose hope and confidence and keep persisting. Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it. Together we will overcome this!
