Even the most dedicated optimists can struggle at times, especially when small annoyances couple with bigger obstacles to challenge our inner peace.<\/p>\n<p>Diana Cole, who writes about optimism for<em> CEO World<\/em> magazine, suggests<a href=\"https:\/\/ceoworld.biz\/2021\/05\/23\/5-steps-to-creating-positive-thought-chains-the-foundation-of-positive-thinking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> \u201cpositive thought chains\u201d as a way to build and sustain consistent positivity <\/a>throughout your day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo keep feeling better in life, we need to have an internal commitment to choosing better thoughts,\u201d Cole writes. \u201cOne positive idea leads to positive inner dialogue, which ultimately leads to feeling good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She suggests starting with an idea, a positive thought you can honestly identify and focus on. This could have to do with yourself as a friend, worker, parent, <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/angels-and-miracles\/miracles\/gods-grace\/handmade-crafts-that-created-miracles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">crafter<\/a>, gardener, <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/inspiring-stories\/people-helping-people\/she-bakes-pies-to-bring-people-comfort\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cook<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/life-advice\/how-humor-makes-a-positive-difference-especially-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">haver-of-a-sense-of-humor.<\/a> What do you love about yourself, your life, your home or your family? Name that thought and repeat it to yourself a few times.<\/p>\n<p>If you can do this in a quiet place or at a consistent time each day, that helps <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/better-living\/positive-thinking\/34-positive-thinking-quotes-from-dr-norman-vincent-peale\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">amplify the impact of your positive thinking<\/a>, according to Cole.<\/p>\n<p>Next, it\u2019s time to build the next link in your positive thought chain. Cole recommends looking around the space where you are and noticing\u2014out loud if possible, though <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/better-living\/positive-thinking\/a-gratitude-journal-improved-her-outlook-on-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">jotted down in a journal<\/a> or even whispered to yourself are also good options\u2014positive things about your surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>These could be very sensory, like, \u201cThe cushion I\u2019m sitting on is soft,\u201d or more emotional, like, <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/daily-devotions\/devotions-for-women\/devotions-for-good-health-devotions-for-women\/gods-love-for-when-you-feel-lonely\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cI feel loved.\u201d<\/a> Anything you notice about your space, or the people in it, can attach to your initial thought and compound the positivity of your original idea. <\/p>\n<p>You can make your positive thought chain as long as you\u2019d like. You can even reinforce your positive thinking by repeating the full chain from the beginning, like, \u201cI am a good cook\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/quote\/11024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I love the sound of my purring cat<\/a>\u2026 The light through that window is lovely\u2026 I am proud I drank enough water today\u2026\u201d and so on. <\/p>\n<p>Repeating this exercise daily or even more frequently will cue your mind to make connections among multiple positive ideas. Over time, this habit will become more automatic, a home base of optimism that will help you through each day\u2014even tough days\u2014with more ease and inner peace.<\/p>\n<p>What would be the first link in your \u201cpositive thought chain\u201d today?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Positive thinking is a broad and deep well of strategies, practices and habits.
