To be a positive thinker

如何做一个积极正面思考的人

Change your self-monitoring:

改变自我监督

Instead of selectively attending to negative events, focus on the positive ones. Then pay attention to the delayed consequences of your behavior rather than the immediate ones. For example, if a job is not going like you want, focus on the fact that you have a job and how you can take your time to make the situation better.

与其选择做那些消极的事情，不如集中做些积极的吧。然后看看你的行为之后的效果。不是立竿见影的那种。比如，如果工作不是很喜欢，就记住你有一份工作的事实，专注如何能把情况变得好点。

Change your self-reinforcement:

改变自我奖励机制：

If you have low rates of self-reward and high rates of self-punishment when it comes to certain aspects of your life, then you want to modify this. For example, think more of how far you've come, how hard you've worked, acknowledge yourself for it and then see how much further you want to go.

如果你对自己奖励很少惩罚很多，而这似乎已成为一种惯性时，是时候改变一下了。比如，多想想你已经达到哪些成就，多么努力地工作，奖励一下自己，然后看看你还能走多远。
