Every week I get a number of emails from my subscribers saying they\u2019ve tried positive thinking but it doesn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n
After I dig a little further by asking them some questions I discover exactly why positive thinking doesn\u2019t work for them.<\/p>\n
Most people think they\u2019re positive or feel that they\u2019re thinking positive when really they\u2019re not. Usually they start applying some positive thinking after something has gone wrong and this is often too late.<\/p>\n
Why? After all, shouldn\u2019t positive thinking work when things go wrong?<\/p>\n
When you try to use positive thinking after something has gone wrong you run up against a lot of negative beliefs that have already been formed.<\/p>\n
After all, when something goes wrong it\u2019s usually the result of some past negative thinking and some negative beliefs. You only have to examine your beliefs and you can usually discover what thought process or negative beliefs led to the negative event.<\/p>\n
So now that something has gone wrong you\u2019re trying to use positive thinking but you don\u2019t have the positive beliefs to support those positive thoughts.<\/p>\n
Simply saying something like: \u201cThings are getting better\u201d, isn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n
You have to give yourself reasons to believe why things are getting better and that means you have to actually see your life as getting better.<\/p>\n
Positive thinking doesn\u2019t always work if you try to use it after things go wrong unless you change you back up your positive thoughts with examples and you change your belief system. As you support your new positive thoughts you create new beliefs, so it\u2019s crucial to support any new positive thoughts. Then you\u2019ll get positive thinking to work because you\u2019ll have new beliefs.<\/p>\n
Your beliefs are what your subconscious responds to so as you form new positive beliefs you begin to change your situation and you\u2019ll also recover from any setback sooner.<\/p>\n
Benefiting From Positive Thinking<\/strong><\/p>\n The best way to benefit from positive thinking is to develop a pattern or habit of thinking positive. You can do that by paying more attention to what you\u2019re thinking about.<\/p>\n As you go about your day, track your thoughts. Ask yourself: are these thoughts positive or negative? If they\u2019re negative change them to a positive thought. If you can\u2019t come up with positive thoughts, look around you and find something positive or something you appreciate or like; think about that instead.<\/p>\n Practice Positive Thinking<\/strong><\/p>\n Positive thinking is really a practice. It\u2019s something you should practice each and everyday. Then you\u2019ll form a positive thinking pattern and you\u2019ll develop a habit of positive thinking.<\/p>\n When you practice positive thinking everyday you form positive beliefs. With positive beliefs in place you naturally attract more positive situations and outcomes. Also, when you have a positive thinking pattern in place you\u2019re less likely to have things go wrong and if things do go wrong you\u2019ll recover quickly. That\u2019s because your positive beliefs will support any new positive thinking you have to apply in order to recover from a setback.<\/p>\n So today start practicing positive thinking. Look around you and aim to be more positive about what\u2019s happening in your life and around you.<\/p>\n Change your perception so you look for the positive in more situations and stop complaining. Complaining only leads to more and more negative thinking.<\/p>\n Appreciate and be happy, you\u2019ll raise your vibration and attract more positive situations into your life.<\/p>\n Each day create a list of things you appreciate and things you\u2019re happy about. Review that list at the end of the week and add more to it.<\/p>\n If you get into a conversation and the other person is being negative, change the tone and say something positive. They might insist on being negative and that\u2019s okay. Do what you can to stay positive.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t wait for things to go wrong, start applying and practicing positive thinking today.<\/p>\n Positive thinking works best when you make it habit. But it doesn\u2019t work if you try to use it only when things go wrong. So from the habit of positive thinking today and you\u2019ll enjoy a brighter, happier future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Every week I get a number of emails from my subscribers saying they\u2019ve tried positive thinking but it doesn\u2019t work.
