To what extent is hope necessary or relevant for these difficult times? The world is overshadowed by economic, military, educational and medical problems that seem insurmountable. In such a world, what is the possible use of hope? It seems that Pandora opened her box quite recently, allowing the wave of evil to descend upon humanity. And yet, in the Greek myth, Pandora closed the box, and one remained inside - hope. Hope - a powerful psychological asset, the antidote to human weaknesses? Or is hope just a dream for the optimists Pollyanna-Is, who cannot see the cruel, harsh nature of reality?
Hope - useful information in various areas
Hope has been studied in psychological laboratories around the world for decades. Studies have shown that great hope is associated with:
o Freedom from worry
o Less Depression
o More positive mood
o Increased popularity among people
o Higher achievements in a number of areas (academic, sports, military, political and professional)
o High quality of social relations
o Improved physical health
o Increased fulfillment of goals
o Increased tolerance to pain
o Reduced cardiovascular risk
If hope is a dream for those who do not see reality for sure, then the dream of pink comes with many physical, emotional, social and voluntary benefits. Given the wide range of positive benefits that hope to provide to its users, it may be easier to state that hope helps. Hope is, in fact, a powerful psychological asset.
Reliability
Hope is faith or the desire for good events and positive feelings to appear in the future more often than bad events and negative feelings. Rick Snyder, a researcher at the University of Kansas, hopes that he has three separate parts:
1. goals - Goals can be big or small, short-term or long-term, formal or informal. Goals can be set in any area of life. However, without goals, there is no future-oriented thinking, and then there is no hope.
2 Preparation - An effective plan to circumvent potential problems that allow to achieve the goal.
3 Agency - Energy, motivation or desire to act. An agency is a degree of determination that needs to be achieved.
Hope more about the future than the present
If you have three elements, there is hope. Hope comes from excitement on one foot about the future possibility of achieving goals. Hope is not so much at the present moment as in the realization of future potential. Hope is a perception that sees the future as full of possibilities. Hope helps create the future, because it motivates people to strive to create new constructive realities.
Reliable people don't play blame
One of the attractive aspects of hope is that people hoping for victory do not blame themselves or the world for lack of purpose. Instead, when they fail, I hope people ask, “What now? They come up with alternative ways to achieve their goal. They succeed in finding several ways to achieve goals. Hope has been shown to enhance problem solving capabilities and, thus, make people better at brainstorming potential problem solutions.
Learn to be more reliable
Instead of creating New Year's decisions that will be upset by the night, you may want to decide to become more encouraging. If so, here are some tips to help strengthen your hope.
I dare to hope - Most of them are growing. Do not expect! Hope is the power of a person that makes reaching goals more likely. Be brave enough to hope.
Set goals that are personally important. - It makes no sense to try to fulfill the goals that someone has for you. Goals are effective when they make sense to you.
State your goals in positive - Instead of losing 10 pounds, tell yourself, I will be healthy. The human mind reacts poorly to negative statements, and goals are no exception. State your goals using positive language.
Remember where hope is - Does your hope hope on the way? You may need to improve your planning or help create your plan. If your hope lags behind the stage of motivation or determination, share your goal with loved ones to give you additional responsibility.
Register with yourself - Whenever you are distracted from the task you are working on, ask yourself: “What am I doing?” And my goals for this task? These simple questions will help you focus on the task, remind you of your goals and work well at the moment.
Listen to Rising music - Recent studies have shown that listening to music (as well as playing and composing) involves almost any neural network in the human brain. Music ignites the brain. The power of music is the ability to evoke emotions. If you want to feel hope, listen to encouraging music. Some of my favorite songs that give rise to hope are ...
Lovely love for my family from The Roots (on the album Yo Gabba, Gabba)
o Imagine John Lennon
o Nepisano Natasha Bedingfield
You will be blessed by Elton John
Three Little Birds of Bob Marley
o I never give up on Patty Griffin
o Mick Jagger's Joy
o Average by Jimmy Eats World
o Autumn back
Watch YouTube Climb Up
Studies have shown that the brain is a very literal organ and not much different from what is real, what it imagines and what we see on the screen. In a meaningful sense, hope can be directed to the mind, watching videos or films that inspire you.
One uplifted clip on YouTube is an ad from MBF, a health care company in Australia, featuring the song "Accentuate the Positive & # 39;"
Or check out the short movie & # 39; Validated & # 39; with Hugh Newman in which the garage serves & # 39; the existence of others by offering words of kindness and encouragement (youtube.com/watch?v=Cbk980jV7Ao).
One of my favorites on YouTube is Free Hugs & # 39; with music from Sick Puppies (“Anyway”) on youtube.com/watch?v=vr3x_RRJdd4. This clip has been viewed more than 40 million times and won the 2007 YouTube video. This social experiment, giving away free hugs, was reproduced in dozens of countries with identical encouraging results.
o Excellent video from the Dave Matthews Band called “Everyday”. This was done back in 2001 and may be the predecessor of the “Free Hugs” idea. It's on YouTube on youtube.com/watch?v=aMBgSfQI49E. It seems that the main character of the video asks people about the spare changes. See what the guy really wants by watching the video.
When Pandora closed her infamous box, fortunately for us, that hope remained inside. Hope is a powerful inner asset that can be used to compensate for the many difficulties that life brings. One of the guarantees in life is that there will be ups and downs, good times and difficult times. Increase your chances of success by creating your own feelings of hope and thoughts based on realistic optimism.
