142. 6:22thinking sometimes we're too hard on
143. 6:23ourselves right Gwen how can we stop
144. 6:27negative selft talk and start thinking
145. 6:29more POS positively that's a great
146. 6:31question Leo firstly you need to
147. 6:33recognize when you're being negative if
148. 6:36you catch yourself thinking I'll never
149. 6:38be good at this stop and ask yourself is
150. 6:42this really true that's a good point
151. 6:45when we change negative thoughts to
152. 6:47positive ones we start to see ourselves
153. 6:50differently that's right when we are
154. 6:52kind to ourselves our brain creates less
155. 6:55stress and more Happy
156. 6:57Feelings oh have you heard of toxic
157. 7:00positivity some people say that if we
158. 7:02are always positive we will fall into a
159. 7:05trap of our own making what do you think
160. 7:08Gwen actually this opinion is completely
161. 7:11true but it is only true when we cannot
162. 7:14control that positivity some people even
163. 7:17in extremely bad situations and need to
164. 7:20solve problems they still avoid and
165. 7:22think that everything will be fine that
166. 7:24is toxic
167. 7:25positivity but here we are positive to
168. 7:28have the spirit to face the challenges
169. 7:31ahead this is healthy positivity it's
170. 7:34eye opening I hope everyone remembers
171. 7:36this and balances their
172. 7:38positivity H what's next let's talk
173. 7:42about how positive thinking can help
174. 7:44with setting goals oh right I'll share
175. 7:47how it can help us reach our dreams one
176. 7:49helpful tool for positive thinking is
177. 7:52visualization this means closing your
178. 7:55eyes and imagining yourself reaching
179. 7:57your goals for example
180. 8:00if you're learning English you can
181. 8:02picture yourself speaking confidently in
182. 8:04front of people wow that sounds like
183. 8:07something athletes do before a big game
184. 8:10exactly and a research from Psychology
185. 8:13today supports this it found that
186. 8:15imagining yourself doing something not
187. 8:18only makes you more motivated but also
188. 8:20makes your brain act like you're really
189. 8:22doing it so when you imagine success
190. 8:25your brain starts to believe it can
191. 8:27happen ah I see
192. 8:30it's becoming more and more popular
193. 8:31these days especially among young people
194. 8:34we call it manifest right yes people
195. 8:38today often forget how important it is
196. 8:40to have a positive environment being
197. 8:43around happy and encouraging people can
198. 8:46really help you stay positive that's so
199. 8:49true when others believe in you and
200. 8:51cheer you on it's easier to feel good
201. 8:54about yourself and it goes both ways you
202. 8:57can share positivity too say something
203. 9:00kind cheer up a friend or just smile it
204. 9:03can make someone's day better trust me
205. 9:06no one hates hearing positive things I
206. 9:08agree being around supportive people
207. 9:11helps both your mind and body feel
208. 9:14better last but not least Gwen how can
209. 9:17we stay positive when things go wrong
210. 9:19the key is to see bad things as chances
211. 9:22to learn like we have shared instead of
212. 9:25thinking I failed try thinking what can
213. 9:28I learn from this
214. 9:30this helps you look at problems in a
215. 9:32different way it sounds easy but it has
216. 9:35to be practiced that's what makes it
217. 9:38effective and that's why we repeat this
218. 9:40method so often in this podcast that's
219. 9:43such a helpful way to think it reminds
220. 9:45me of something Thomas Edison once said
221. 9:47I didn't fail 10,000 times I found
222. 9:5010,000 ways that didn't work he didn't
223. 9:53give up he learned from each mistake
224. 9:56exactly life is full of challenges but
225. 9:59every challenge teaches us something
226. 10:02when you face a problem take a moment to
227. 10:04look back and remember be patient with
228. 10:07yourself it takes time to grow and
229. 10:09improve every small step you take is
230. 10:12progress even if it doesn't feel like it
231. 10:14at first keep going and you'll see
