Have you ever noticed how powerful social media can be, if it has the power of shaping our beliefs and attitudes even without us knowing about it. Many times we have been fed with the wrong things without realizing. Yesterday I had a conversation with a young friend of mine who has this belief that all marriages are doomed to fail. She saw on social media, that's just what inspired me to share my own story of how I overcame negative thinking.
I can still remember, some years ago I was in this trap. I thought marriage was just a thing people suffer, so I thought of not getting married at all. I just wanted my peace because of how I have seen a lot of failed marriages and the high rate of divorce. This negative mindset affected my relationships, mental health, and overall well-being. I felt stuck in the mud and it seemed like nothing could lift my spirits. But one day, I decided to make a change. I was reading a book that talks about positive thinking, I realized that the power to think right and act right is in me, so I have to choose and to create a more positive reality for myself, I had to debunk the mindset that whatever will be will be, I really that what I make happen is what will happen and for me to fail is very simple and that by doing nothing. That book made me realize that if I want a good marriage then I have to work on myself and be a better person, not just expecting it. I start by unfollowing negative influences on social media and limiting my exposure to harmful content. Then, I began practicing daily affirmations, speaking positive words into my life, reading the bible and proclaiming God's will for my life which are good and not evil. and Another thing I did was to find joy in solo activities like reading.
I also made a conscious effort to listen to good music that has the power to uplift my spirit. I stay active, and practice gratitude to God Almighty for what I'm expecting him to do. I started jotting down the things I was thankful for each day and the ones I'm expecting, no matter how small they seemed, I try to always be grateful. Surrounding myself with positive people who uplifted and supported me was also a crucial and best decision I took in my journey.
After one month of consistency, the transformation was remarkable. I started thinking right, my perspective about things and life improved significantly, I was open to relationships and became more friendly and had more healthy and meaningful relationships. My spirit was lifted, my self-esteem was boosted and my physical wellness was perfect too. I felt more energized, motivated, and equipped to handle life's challenges.
My social media feed transformed into a hub of positivity, I don't just watch anything that pops up on my phone, but things that are filled with inspiring stories of healthy living, building marriages, and people overcoming adversity. I started to see the good in the world and the potential in myself.
The power of positive thinking is real, and tris me anyone can think right it all depends on you, if you choose to focus on the good side of life
And practice the life of gratitude, keeping good company of friends, you can experience improved mental well-being, boosted confidence, and better health. You can break free from the cycle of negativity and live a more fulfilling life.
