The Power Of Positive Thinking

By Patricia E. Beeson


"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence." Helen KellerLife is never a joyride. It is a mixture of bitterness, anger, sweet, and sour feelings. Every day is a new beginning, with new challenges, new hopes, new ideas etc... , all of which can be conquered by being optimistic.

One of the most powerful weapons one can have is the "positive thinking". Positive thinking brings inner peace, satisfaction, success, improved relationships, happiness, and better health. It also helps to move smoothly in day-today affairs, and makes life bright and promising. Positive and negative thinking are contagious. People with positive thinking are more likely to be helped rather than people who are negative.

There are several ways to cultivate a positive mindset and some of them are discussed in this article.We should learn how to overcome negative thoughts because irregardless of everything negative things will happen to us and thing that only matters it`s how we handle these situations.

Action is the result of the thought process and if the thoughts are negative, the outcome will definitely be negative. Research has shown that anxiety, anger, and stress do a lot of damage to the body, shortens the life span, disturbs internal system, immune system, and other vital organs. On the other hand, people who are optimistic are more likely to stay healthier and recover faster from any illnesses they undergo. We have heard so many stories about cancer patients who survived and have conquered this deadly disease, simply because they managed to keep up their hope and spirits.

Take a deep breath.Try a calming centered activity like tai chi, yoga, or playing a musical instrument.Cut back on alcohol and smoking.Communicate your needs and be assertive.Reflect on people and things that bring you joy.Have you done something to bring the power of positive thinking into your life? All of us at some point in our lives have spent far too much time dwelling on negative thoughts, unaware that we are often reinforcing fear and worry in our mind, when we really don't need it. Unless we take control, these effects can snowball into a downward spiral creating problems in other areas of our life, not only where the initial worry started. Constantly reliving old negative experiences does not help you focus and move on to an exciting future. Stop thinking too much, stop analysing everything and stop being hard on yourself!

Past regrets and future worries are the reason for fear and insecurities to arise. Past is history and shaping future is in your hand. Present is what we have so we must make the maximum utilization of it. Take every hardship as a challenge and take this as an opportunity to show that you can go to any extent to achieve your goals. Develop a healthy eating, stress free life, and get a good sleep. Be content, natural, and happy with what you are and what you have.

Almost everybody agrees that thinking positively is one of the keys to being successful, this is why it is so frequently offered as advice to people. The problem is that it is not nearly as easy to think positively as a lot of people imagine, if it were everybody would be happy and successful. Learning how to have positive thoughts is a skill that has to be learned, the following tips should help you to get started.

Now list one problem in your life but try and find a positive aspect about it, for example if you were unemployed you would have enjoyed spending a little more time with your family. Try and do this with any problems you encounter, so you are focussing on the positive instead of highlighting the negative and making it even bigger! You will find this will also help you with finding solutions to those problems.

Remember happy or exciting memories from the past and visualise how you felt at that moment. Close your eyes and relish in those thoughts, awakening your senses to what you were thinking, seeing, touching or smelling - reliving the memory. Avoid letting your mind wander into any sad or negative memories by quickly replacing them with good and positive thoughts. Forget past mistakes, you cannot change them, you can only learn from them.

The more you use the power of positive thinking to direct your emotions the more gratitude will swell within you. Nurture this over-all "good" feeling of thankfulness for all you have, all you will have, and for the power you are tapping into. Allow the love within you to completely fill the voids of emptiness and despair that plague so many needlessly. The more love you send the more you will receive what you love back. And the more love you will have filling your life until it is overflowing throughout all areas of your life, and into others' as well. You can be whatever you want. You can have whatever you want. You can create the story of your life right now. All you have to do is think about what you love, and FEEL your love for it. Do this with a grateful heart and have the faith to NOT understand how, why, or when you will get what you want. Just trust in your positive thoughts and the feelings they inspire within you. Within them awaits the secret truth you've carried in your heart yet searched so hard to discover. That you can have, do, and become ANYTHING you desire. You just have to ask, and you do this by how you choose to feel!
