Three powerful techniques for Positive Thinking

The following techniques can help you maintain your initial good mood throughout the day:

Breath

Breathing is essential to life. In fact, it is the first thing that you do when you wake up to a new day of positive thinking. When you breathe properly you help your body and your mind relax. Learn to control your breath to gain calm and feel better.
Take some time for yourself or find a quiet spot to breath properly. With your mouth closed, take a slow deep breath and let it go slowly too. Focus on the air coming inside your diaphragm and out. Repeat for a few times or a minute - you will feel better.
Practise this slow breathing every time you feel stressed or negative, or simply to improve your general state. Trust the results.

Focus

It is easy to get distracted and loose focus in a new day of positive thinking with the amount of information we come across (think newspapers or TV with bad news, or someone complaining at the office). If you find yourself being overwhelmed or negative, it is time to focus.
Go back to yourself and your goals. Remind yourself of your current goal, and what it is that you are busy with. Think about why you want to achieve your goal. Feel the satisfaction of accomplishment in advance.
You may find it useful to think about who and how you want to be - mainly a negative or a positive person? Focus on yourself for a while and regain peace.

Handle just the present

Although our bodies are physically here, our minds are many times reviving the past or fearing the future. This makes us loose focus of our positive day, as we become easily wrapped into the negative thoughts of uncertainty, fear, worry or anger.
An excellent way to gain calm is by living in the present. Focus on what you are actually doing - be that making dinner, brushing your teeth or having a conversation. Pay attention at doing it with care and to the best of your standards.

When you simply focus on doing well whatever you are doing, you can reach a state of calm easily. You block any other thoughts that keep your mind distracted and you gain a sense of fullness: the beauty of you being alive at that moment, doing what you do.
Apply these techniques frequently to create a habit of maintaining your positive mood and so start building a positive attitude.

No matter what happens today, every day is a new day of positive thinking. In the words of a famous cyclist:

"I take nothing for granted.I now have only good days, or great days"
