THOUGHT FOR YOUR SOUL
3. Cultivate Positive Thinking, Cut
Off Negative Thinking
Positivity and Optimism can help us
face any challenging situations in
life. Call it faith, call it religion or in
simple terms, practice. We need to

surrounding it and the positive
plant thrived because of the good
things it was open to. Subject our
minds to positivity and it will
flourish too. Reading positive
books will also help as much.

of a positive attitude is gratitude.
The more we practice it, the better
we feel. Thanking people who have
helped us even in the smallest of
things can help improve our
thinking process. Gratitude should
