When we experience negative scenarios, our thoughts become negative, and this has a negative impact on our lives. The opposite holds true that when we experience positive incidences; we become motivated and feel happier. An example is if you have experienced a breakup in a relationship, you begin to feel as if you are not worthy. Your thoughts become dark and gloomy as you begin to doubt your own personality and thus become depressed. This depression results in a lack of sleep, loss of interest in your favourite hobbies, and has an adverse impact on your physical well-being. Such is the power of negativity, which can weigh you down like dead wood. On the flip side of the coin, if you experience a positive incident, such as receiving a compliment from your boss or loved one, you automatically feel elevated as the happy hormones and endorphins kick in. You begin to feel as if you can conquer the world, and usually everything runs smoothly that day. However, the big question is how often do you remember the positive incidence as compared to the negative one? We are all guilty in being caught up in a cycle of remembering a negative incident much more often as compared to a positive one. This is the first golden rule of being your own best friend. Love yourself enough to think happy thoughts, because if you always wish happiness unto others, why not wish the very same happiness unto yourself?
