At the start of each day, you have a choice, of what you want to achieve in the day. To be positive and optimistic or negative and pessimistic?
Do you know that having a positive focus is different from positive thinking?
Have you ever practiced focusing? Have you mentally, mentally prepared yourself for the day ahead of you?
No?
Then it is high time you did because this will help you to cope with the minor crises of the day, but without losing your focus on what you want to achieve in the day. This kind of visualization process is used by many people including politicians, sportsmen, public figures, etc.
When you choose to visualize, you are getting closer to your goal. And when you arrive at your destination, you will feel that you have already experienced it.
When you shift focus, your perspective changes.
Be clear about what you want!

EXERCISES: FOCUS ON A POSITIVE DAY
Here are four exercises I recommend you start doing – tomorrow morning.
MORNING FOCUS
In the morning, when you get up, take 5 minutes. Sit quietly. Imagine the events, the commitments of the day ahead.
Break the habit of checking your phone in the morning by replacing it with a new habit: visualizing the day.
Write down what you want to achieve that day and imagine yourself reaching it.
HAVE A MEETING WITH YOURSELF
Every morning, ask yourself how you want to feel at the end of the day. If it doesn’t feel like that at the end of the day, have a meeting with yourself.
At the meeting, analyze the whole day and see which activities have prevented you from doing so. This means that these activities are taking your energy. Start changing or removing them.
With this exercise, you are focused for just one day. Be aware of the beginning and the end of the day. In this way, you actively start the day and consciously end it. You start to live for each day individually.
REPEAT POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS
Repeat them before going to bed, in the morning when you wake up, during your commute to work, or in a moment of anxiety or stress.
Write one or more of them on a piece of paper and stick it on your mirror, fridge, wallet, phone, etc.
Let positive affirmations accompany you through your daily life. Over time, they will train your subconscious to believe that these statements are true. So instead of turning to negative thinking, you will automatically start to turn back to positive statements.
EXPRESS GRATITUDE
Write down everything you are grateful for. If you don’t want to write, you can say these things out loud or at least in your mind to start with.
You can start with basic expressions of gratitude for your home, family, and job, then build up to being grateful for everything.
