Answer:
Now that you know what hope is and why it's important to find it, here are some different ways you can rediscover it in your life again.
1. Believe you can achieve your goals
A study found that having hope is generally associated with agency thinking. Agency thinking is defined as the motivation to pursue goals and the belief in one’s ability to achieve them.
So basically, you can create hope within yourself through giving yourself motivation for pursuing your goals and believing you can accomplish them.
2. Reflect on past success
Research from The Journal of Positive Psychology found that when people wrote about past experiences where something they hoped for came true, their hope and happiness increased.
Take time to reflect on the things that have gone well for you in your recent and distant past. It can remind you that things haven’t always been bad and that they can always be good again.
3. Practice prayer or meditation
A Wall Street Journal Article on The Science of Prayer points out that scientists have discovered prayer helps to give people a hopeful feeling.
Similarly, science has shown meditation can help make you happier and thus allow you to feel more hopeful feelings.
If you haven’t tried it as much lately, take time to pray or meditation to increase your hope.
4. Use uncertainty as a tool
Feeling uncertain about the future doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad thing. In fact, it may be just the thing to bring about more hopefulness.
Parents of children with multiple sclerosis used the fact that not much is known about the disease to give them hope their child may have been misdiagnosed and could fully recover.
If individuals in such a difficult and uncertain situation can manage to harness hope out of it, we can too. We may not know what the future holds, but the beauty of not knowing is that it leaves open the possibility that something good could happen.
5. Focus on the positive
Those who have hope and optimism in life usually look for positive images more than negative ones. It’s important to be mindful of the media we consume at all times.
If you constantly look at images of people who are sad, you’re likely going to feel sad. But if you consistently look at images of people who are happy, you’ll likely feel happier and more hopeful.
