Positive thinking is a significant element of happiness. In order to become a positive thinker, determination and consistency are important. The first thing to know about positive thinking is that everyone can do it. With certain cognitive and behavioral modifications, we can all become positive thinkers. Another important factor is that being a positive thinker does not mean you become numb to anything that is not working properly in your life or is negative — it just means that you approach life and face challenges with a healthier outlook.
正面思考是幸福的重要組成部分。要想成為一個積極的思考者，決心和毅力必不可少。首先你要知道，每個人都能成為積極思考者。只要改善一定的認(rèn)知和行為，我們都可以做到。另外一個很重要的因素就是：你不需要對那些不是很完美的事情麻木不仁或是帶有悲觀的色彩——只是說人生和挑戰(zhàn)你都要積極的對待。
To become a positive thinker, these may help you:
要想成為一個積極的思考者，下面這些也許能幫到你：
1. Change your self-monitoring:
改變自我監(jiān)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.
與其選擇做那些消極的事情，不如集中做些積極的吧。然后看看你的行為之后的效果。不是立竿見影的那種。比如，如果工作不是很喜歡，就記住你有一份工作的事實，專注如何能把情況變得好點。
2. Change your self-evaluation:
改變自我評價：
Challenge any inaccurate internal attributions and see if you compare your behavior to standards that are excessively rigid and perfectionistic. If so, change these and be reasonable with your comparisons. For example, if you constantly compare your weaknesses with other peoples' strengths, then switch this and compare yourself with those who are doing poorer than you as well. Overall, people who focus more on their strengths than their weaknesses but at the same time are aware of their weaknesses have a healthier self-evaluation result.
探究那些內(nèi)部失敗的原因，看看自己的行為是否是沒有達(dá)到嚴(yán)格完美的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。如果是，就改掉那些標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，接受自己目前的不足。比如如果你總是把自己的缺點和別人的優(yōu)點作比較，那么換一下，也和那些做的沒有你好的人比一比吧。一般來說，人們都會更關(guān)注他們的強項而非弱點，但同時他們也會意識到缺點會有更健康的自我評價結(jié)果。
3. Change your self-reinforcement:
改變自我獎勵機制：
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.
如果你對自己獎勵很少懲罰很多，而這似乎已成為一種慣性時，是時候改變一下了。比如，多想想你已經(jīng)達(dá)到哪些成就，多么努力地工作，獎勵一下自己，然后看看你還能走多遠(yuǎn)。
