Positive thinking is a very powerful and potent force in manifesting
reality
and accomplishing tasks successfully. Positive thinking is a
habit of the mind borne out of two important resources of your mind.
- The attitude with which you approach life and view the world
in general.
- Having basic trust in yourself, your abilities and in the
higher power which you accept as your Mentor, Giver and Guide. Even
if you have reservations about theistic beliefs, belief in one
self would be a very powerful source of positive thinking.
The habit of positive thinking can be cultivated carefully by
following some of the suggestions given below. Take a print out of
this article and keep referencing it as frequently as you can till
they become part of your subconscious.
Focus on what you want to be, what you want to achieve and how you
would like to see yourself in different time frames in future.
Believe in your ability to achieve your goals and dreams. Harness
the power of positive belief to guide and direct your subconscious.
Believe first of all in the power
of positive belief. It is a very powerful tool in manifesting your
destiny
and your reality.
Honor, respect, appreciate and enjoy fully what you have,
expressing gratitude for what has been already given to you. The
mental state of contentment and gratitude augur well for your peace
and prosperity.
Act as if you already have the things you aim for, expressing gratitude for the reality that is being manifested
by your positive thoughts, actions and feelings.
Improve your chances of success by combining your positive thoughts with positive
beliefs and positive action. Focus your mind on what you want to
manifest and bring in the synergetic power of positive thoughts,
positive belief and positive action.
Allow your higher mind to take over and give shape to your
thoughts and beliefs. Stay focused but relaxed and allow the higher
mind to do its magic.
Stay in the present. This would take years of practice. But it is
the key to positive thinking. If you are in the present and mindful,
you remain attentive and responsive to events and situations
spontaneously giving little opportunity to your worries and
anxieties to shape your thoughts and actions.
Cultivate through meditation, positive affirmations and other
forms of exercise positive states of mind such as elation,
spontaneous joy, unconditional love, compassion, magnanimity,
contentment, detachment, dispassion and so on.
Read books and articles on positive thinking till your mind is
saturated with inspiring and powerful thoughts.
Accept yourself unconditionally. Forgiving yourself and letting
go of your faults and blemishes would require years of effort and a
great insight into our own behavior. But the effort is worth taking.
In Hinduism there is a good practice called satsang, which means
keeping the company of good natured people. The idea behind this is
your consciousness becomes purified in the presence of good
vibration and elevating thoughts. We can extend this concept into
our relationships and associations. Keep the company of positive
minded people, people who care, encourage, inspire,
appreciate, who are ever helpful, kind, compassionate and contended.
Work for companies with sound business practices and positive
leadership styles.
Practice using positive words and statements in your
communication, especially your daily speech and writings. (Notice in
this articles how many positive words and expressions have been
used.). There is always a way to speak positively whatever be the
situation or circumstance. This would take years of practice but
would bring rich rewards in terms of relationships and success.
See opportunities in the challenges that are manifested in your
life.
