Turn to Positive Thinking

Оглавление

Now that you understand why positive thinking is the first step towards unlocking your potential, you can begin to work in making vital changes to your thinking pattern. After all, you want to be able to bounce back when life knocks you down because staying down is not an option.

You, and everybody, deserve a life full of success and happiness. Never doubt that and if you hold that thought in your mind, it will make making the changes outlined in this book much easier to do.

Many people think that they cannot control what they think, that the way that they think is pre-programmed and therefore, set in stone. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is your mind, you have full control over it, including how and what you think.

If you do not want to think negative thoughts, you can banish them. All over, people have been successfully banishing negative thoughts to replace them with positive ones; one thought at a time, you can turn your habit of negative thinking into a habit of thinking positively.

Once you start to do so, you will feel better; you will find that the world is not such a bad place, it was your perception of it that was bad. The weight of the world will no longer weight you down.

When you have a negative thought you have a choice, to allow the thought to manifest and to act on it or to throw it away and replace it with a positive thought.

Happiness is your choice; you have all of the power over your own thinking, you just have to turn your mental eye inwards. If you have a thought that is negative, simply reframe it into something positive. Banish any and all negative self-talk; there is NO room for that in your mind.

If you have people around you who do not support you; why are they in your life? You need to be surrounded by positive people who can lift you up and offer support not bring you down like you have lead shoes on.

Negative people are energy vampires, they love to share their misery so do not let them take your positive energy from you. If you cannot avoid them totally, such as with co-workers, just limit your interaction and keep in mind, that their negativity cannot touch you unless you let it.

Another way to stay positive is to remember that it is not always about you. If somebody says something hurtful or something that you did not deserve; it is about them, not about you. If somebody frowns at you when you tell them good morning, do not let it affect you; their negative mindset is their problem, not yours.

Negativity spreads very easily but your positive thinking mindset is your vaccination from allowing it to spread.

For example if somebody was to insult you and you did not know them, why let it bother you? They obviously have their own issues if they feel the need to insult strangers and it is not about you. Just go about your day and brush it off.

Criticism is another area that can be tricky. Here is the thing; constructive criticism is good because it can help you improve.

As humans, in order to be our best, we need to be aware that we are not perfect and that we can always be better. Take constructive criticism as just that, an opinion about you that should never change how you view yourself.

If the criticism applies, than use it to better yourself and if it does not, brush it off. Unhappy people hand out criticism like it is Halloween candy sometimes, because they would rather call attention to the flaws in others than address their own flaws.

If criticism was given in the spirit of helping you, be grateful and consider it; if it is given with malicious intent, discard it.

In the beginning, it can be hard but the more you work at shedding your negative thoughts, the less of them you will have. One way to help hasten this process is to appear happy outwardly.

Meeting the day with a smile can actually help you turn your thoughts around just because your mind and your body are connected. When you are happy, you smile so when you smile, it helps promote a feeling of happiness.

It works both ways. Pretty soon, you will not be faking that smile; it will be genuine, coming from your heart.

Stress makes it hard to keep your smile in place. Stress happens. When you start to feel overwhelmed do a quick meditation along with some deep breathing exercises and you will begin to feel better in minutes.

Close your eyes, pull up a memory of something that is a happy memory and add as much of the details as you can remember such as the colors, the smells, and the way things felt.

Put yourself right into that memory so that you begin to feel just as happy as you did when you were there while taking slow deep breathes. You will help shed the stress and help to keep your mindset positive, which is very important.

Positive affirmations are a great way to help you get and stay positive. An affirmation is short statement of something that will help you direct the way you see yourself and the world. They can be about you specifically or about how you see the world.

They are great for people who have low self-esteem because you can repeat these statements to help cement the fact that you have no reason to have self-esteem issues. Affirmations are useful for turning that negative thinking into a positive habit.

No matter how you choose to do it, by turning your thinking from negative to positive, you will be able to begin to unlock your potential. Your mind will not unlock if it is mired down with negativity. Free your mind and free yourself from negative thoughts in order to unlock your full potential.
