THOUGHT FOR YOUR SOUL come from deep within and it must be shared with the people who have helped us. Call them up or write a personal note to make them understand how their goodness has helped you. This will not only motivate you to help others but also motivate them to help more people. Even though genuinely helpful people never expect people’s acceptance, it will definitely make them feel good and keep them motivated. 7. Self-Analysis helps We should spend some time analysing ourselves every week if not every day. Noting down what good we did in a day before we sleep is a good way to keep us motivated to do more good. If you repent some negative thoughts you had during the day, that’s a good sign too! Finding faults in self to correct them helps you grow. So, note them down to keep you motivated to feel good and do more good. It will stimulate more grey cells to turn green and induce positivity. THE DREAM BOX 8. Evaluate Situations Positively It is natural for us to feel frustrated or bad when someone talks or does wrong to us. Instead of straightaway getting into a defensive mode and let the negative take over, let us spend 5 minutes trying to step into their shoes and think of any reason that might have triggered the entire issue. What is right for you may not be right for another. Similarly, what is right for them may seem wrong for you! So instead of jumping into assumptions, stay calm and let your optimism take over your thoughts. 9. Stay Busy They say, “An idle mind is a devil’s playground!” So, keep yourself occupied physically and mentally so that you don’t give space for the pessimistic Devil to step in and start the negative thoughts! There’s only one life, why lose it to pessimistic thoughts and talks? Think positive, stay positive and talk positive. 17
