It may become clearer what the concept of “self-help” is if we consider what self-help is not. For instance, self-help is not always and automatically responding to a situation, even if the response is very effective. It is not coming across a certain solution by chance or pure luck. It is not being careless to ways our condition could be improved even if, our ignorance allows us to cope with our current situation. It is not going along with or being driven by our emotions in pointless directions.

You may have already experienced some of the benefits of positive thinking: an overall feeling of well being, a more positive attitude to cope with negative situations successfully, and attracting serendipity acts and positive circumstances in your life.

Now, how can you truly become a positive person?

The secret lies in making small changes little by little, so in time you can achieve a more positive attitude. Most people tend to direct their thinking toward the negative rather than the positive sides of their lives. We fear what may happen and dwell on the uncertainty of life as if events were to turn out bad toward us.
The solution is re-shifting your mind to focus on the positive, in such a way that after a while it does so almost automatically.

Here are some tips on how to become a positive person:

• Put yourself on your side! Make a commitment with yourself to become a more positive person. Don’t do it because others want you to or as a reaction to somebody else’s opinions;do it for you and because of you. You will be the one to reap the benefits in the first place.

• Make a change in your attitude and your discourse. “I hope it doesn’t rain” can be replaced by “It would be nice to have a sunny day”; a long commuting to work that you always thought as exhausting can be seen as a great opportunity to listen to music, read, or chat with a stranger. It all depends on the perspective.

• Get a couple of books on positive thinking and engage in reading at least ten pages each day. This will make a difference on the way you see things overtime. Besides, some of the books on positive thinking that you can find are real keys to enjoy a better life.

• Surround yourself with positive and joyful people. When you meet someone that makes you feel better because they look on the bright side of life, decide to speak with them more often. Observe the way they see life and the words they choose to use. It will help you make your life more positive!

• Create your own set of affirmation cards with positive thinking affirmations that you can carry with you and read anytime, anywhere. Read the whole set of affirmations in the first hour of the day and before you go to sleep for a number of days, and you will be amazed by the positive impact this habit has on you.

A thought at a time
We are dealing with a thought and one thought alone at any given time, and a thought can always be changed. Even the most difficult or painful circumstance appears differently when you change the way you think about it. You don’t need to change the circumstances, only your way to think about them.

The great tool of persistence
Realize that all these tips are helpers for you to learn how to become a positive person. The greatest tool you have is persistence, as there is no doubt that you will have some difficulties and you will go through hard circumstances, which will test your attitude.
It is much easier to not make an effort and be negative. If you want to strive for excellence and become as positive as you can be, then you must choose the hard way, being sure you that in the end you will be rewarded.

The self-help process is the conscious, reasoning part of your “self” attempting to change other facets of your unconscious self, your actions, and your circumstances.

The understanding of scientific basis for self-help methods should help you view self-help in a realistic manner, and then, use it effectively. People usually learn to be the way they are, and therefore, at any point in life, they have the power to change. But perhaps sometimes it may not be easy to change. There are always reasons and causes for everything we do, and if we get to understand those reasons, which are solid, “lawful,” useful, we will get to the bottom of cause and effect relationships. Therefore, each of us could presumably gain considerable control over our own.

Specialists think of self-help programs to be intentional coping. It means dealing with the difficult situations in your life by taking deliberate control to improve the results of the situation. It also refers to recognizing your own weaknesses and working to overcome them and improve yourself and your lifestyle. The process may sometimes involve changing the environment or the people around you to improve your own condition or feelings. However, a self-help program particularly focuses on changing your own behavior, feelings, skills, thoughts, even at an unconscious level.

The self-help programs promote a breakthrough in the human thought because our culture attends far more to changing other people — making children behave, teaching others, motivating employees, fighting crime and drugs, selling ourselves or products to others, pleasing our lover, getting people to vote our way — rather than trying and changing ourselves. Trying to make things better often means attempting to change someone else. The traditional concepts of self-control, self-responsibility, and self-reliance have become unpopular during the past few years.

Besides, if the idea of self-help seems like commonsense to you, then you may be aware that our minds are almost constantly trying to solve some existing or approaching problem. That’s right, most of us are self-helping all the time. For instance, every time you plan your actions by imagining how to handle a particular situation. No matter if it takes only a few moments to think of what you might say during a conversation, that is also a self-helping process.

Our brain has the great ability to quickly visualize multiple ways of approaching a difficult situation. We are constantly asking ourselves “what should I say or do now?” This kind of inquiry usually involves looking of alternative approaches as well as imagining what the outcome of each option might be. Learning and accurately applying self-help methods which aren’t simply attempts to “trying to change” on your own, has proven to be just as effective for many people as engaging in much more costly psychotherapy.
