​The Power of Positive Thinking


“Optimism is the most important human trait, because it allows us to evolve our ideas, to improve our situation, and to hope for a better tomorrow.” ~ Seth Godin

Believing in the power of positive thinking is one of the most effective ways to change your attitude. But this can be difficult for many people.

From the time we are young we are told not to do certain things. We hear the words “no” and “can’t” more often than not. We go through difficult times; everything from divorce to the loss of jobs or loved ones. We could become bitter and negative about everything in life.

Being optimistic is directly related to how we think. Positive thinking has the power to change a lot of things in our lives. Research reveals that positive thinking is more than just being happy or having a happy attitude. Positive thoughts can actually help you create life skills that last much longer than a mere smile.

​Negative thoughts, on the other hand, can narrow your mind and focus your thoughts. They keep you from seeing opportunities and moving forward – there is always that “what if” scenario going through your mind.


Positive thinking impacts your work, your health, and your life in every way. It’s been shown to affect how you develop your skills. It affects your health in how you see things. For instance, when
you are happy, contented and feel loved, you see more possibilities for your life.


In this report we’ll discover what “positive thinking” actually is and how it affects us. We’ll see why it works and how you can incorporate into your daily life.

What Is Positive Thinking?

What and who you are begins with a thought.

The mind is a powerful tool that can make or break your life and your business success. You can use your mind to fuel business success, change your life for the better and improve your relationships with others. But what exactly is positive thinking? Is it simply putting on a happy face or does it involve more than that?


You’ve probably heard the saying “Is your glass half-empty or half-full?” How you answer that question provides some insight to your outlook on life and whether you are generally a pessimist or an optimist.

​Positive thinking is basically your mental attitude. It’s an attitude in which you always expect good results. In other words, it’s the process of creating thoughts that can transform energy into reality. A positive attitude looks for happiness, health and happy endings in every situation.


Positive thinking is gaining popularity among many people.

More and more people will tell you they got where they are because of their positive thinking lifestyle. In fact, a person who faces their life with a positive mentality will almost always be more successful in both their careers and their personal relationships than the negative thinker.

Understanding positive thinking and positive self-talk

Positive thinking isn’t the act of hiding from life’s tough or unpleasant situations. In fact, positive thinking means you approach those situations in a more productive and positive way, instead of with a negative attitude. You believe the best is going to happen.

Negative people are worriers. They believe the worst will happen no matter what.
Positive thinking begins with self-talk – the thoughts that run through your head.

​Negative self-talk leads to a pessimistic outlook on life, while a positive outlook leaves you an optimist.

Positive thinking isn’t the idea that you see the world through rose-colored glasses by ignoring the negative things in life, though. Positive thinking means having a positive outlook, but you don’t ignore the bad things. It involves making the best out of a bad situation, or trying to see the best in others.

Those with a pessimistic style, on the other hand, blame themselves for all outcomes. They believe bad events will last and are to be expected.

 An optimistic and positive attitude leads to healthier lifestyles, both physically and mentally.

There are health benefits that come from positive thinking as well. Some of them include:
  • Increased life span
  • Lower rates of depression
  • Lower levels of distress
  • Greater resistance to the common cold
  • Better psychological well-being
  • Reduced risk of death from cardiovascular disease
  • Better coping skills during hardships and times of stress
  • Increased physical well-being

​Positive thinking is more than just smiling and avoiding bad situations. Positive thinking is how you see every situation in a positive way. It reduces the stress on your body that comes from negative thinking.

Why Positive Thinking Works

You know what positive thinking is and how it can affect your health. But does it really work? Can positive thinking improve your life or is it just a scam?

Positive thinking is very effective at changing your life if you understand what it is and how it works.

Before you put on your rose-colored glasses, you need to realize positive thinking is more than just being overly optimistic about life.

Psychologists suggests that you center on things like
  • your belief in your abilities,
  • to come at challenges with a positive approach
  • and try to make the best of bad situations.

Positive thinkers look at situations realistically while they look for ways to improve the situation and learn from their experience.

​A lot of research has found that positive thinkers cope differently in their lives than other people do. They are problem solvers who try to improve their individual situations. If a bad situation can’t be improved then they are more likely than pessimists are to move on.

Optimists are more likely to engage in healthy habits that will protect them against disease. They are less likely to smoke, drink heavily or eat poorly. They exercise, sleep well and stick to rehab programs.

Optimism is associated with better psychological health. Optimists are less depressed, have less anxiety and face difficult life situations with

Positive thinking has a positive effect on their bodies, leading to better decision-making and control over situations that optimists may find themselves in.

Positive thinking works by helping the body effectively change how you perceive bad situations in life.

​Having negative thoughts can play havoc on your life. They can bring you pain and worry. They drain your energy and keep you in the moment instead of being able to move past it.


Positive thoughts, though, can help you see solutions to a problem, help you move forward and leave you feeling relaxed and full of energy.

Now that you know what positive thinking is and how it can affect almost every situation in your life, you probably want to know how you can begin incorporating it into your life.

Here are 11 things you can do to help overcome your negative thoughts.

Incorporating positive thoughts into your life can change your future. You can become happier, healthier and more successful if you believe you can.

Where to Go From Here


​Positive thinking is more than seeing life through rose-colored glasses and avoiding bad things. It’s about a way of thinking that encourages positive outcomes. Positive thinkers seek solutions to problems. They see their value in different situations and can visualize their successes.

You can build happiness and positive thoughts in your life through meditation, writing in a journal, playing games or whatever else that encourages positive thoughts.

Positive people share characteristics that promote good health and overall happiness: They think about and emphasize good things in life.
  • They are grateful and thankful.
  • They don’t complain.
  • They feel they can do anything to achieve success and reach their goals. They believe in abundance.
  • They are confident.
  • They eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly and get enough sleep.
Having a positive attitude is something that can be changed. You don’t have to live with negative thoughts. When you catch yourself being negative, change the thought.

Tips for improving self esteem
Being positive, and staying positive is a choice

So, how on earth do you stay calm and collected in a tough environment? Below are some tips that you may use as a starter to self improvement.

Imagine yourself as a Dart Board. Every person and everything around you may become dart pins.. 


If you allow them, these dart pins will destroy your self esteem. Don’t let them destroy you, or get the best of you. So which dart pins should you avoid?


#1 : Negative Work Environment
Beware of the “Dog eats dog” theory. This is where 
everyone is fighting to reach the top, getting ahead of others. Stay out of this.


#2: Other People’s Behaviour
Bulldozers, whiners, snipers, back stabbers, controllers, wounded people, complainers, naggers, exploders, .. All these types of people you need to stay clear of as these people will cause bad vibes to your self improvement scheme and self image.


#3: Changing Environment
You can’t be a red bug on a green leaf. Life’s changes challenge our paradigms and alters the way we think. These changes may make life difficult for a while but it will help us on our way to improve ourselves. Change will be there forever, we must be susceptible to it.


#4: Past Experience
It’s okay to cry and say “ouch!” when we experience pain. But don’t let pain transform itself into fear. It might grab you by the tail and swing you around. Treat each failure and mistake as a lesson.


#5: Negative World View
Look at what you’re looking at. Don’t wrap yourself up with all the negativities of the world. If we want to build our self esteem we have to learn how to make the best of any bad situation.


Dart Pin #6: Determination Theory
The way you are and your behavioural traits is said to be a “Mixture of your upbringing, your genes, and your environmental surrounding.” This is not completely true. If your father is a failure, it doesn’t mean you have to be a failure too. Learn from other people’s experience, so you’ll never have to encounter the same mistakes.


Sometimes, we wonder if certain people were born leaders. This is not actually so.

Do You want to improve yourself? Better Yourself Master Your Life
Are you living the life you really want? Make your life one you actually want to live by learning how look inside yourself and not to the outside world for answers.

The detailed and flexible worksheets in this helpful guide will help you break out of your rut and learn the path to a better you through self-reflection and analysis. Now available on AMAZON.
Better yourself master your life NOW available on Amazon


​Being positive, and staying positive is a choice

When we get to the battlefield, we should pick the right luggage and opt for the bullet proof. Life’s options give us arrays of more options. In life’s battle, we will get hit and bruised. Wearing bullet proof armor in life means “self change” – change that comes from within. Our attitude, our behavior, and our way of thinking.


Eventually, building your self esteem will lead to self improvement. If we become responsible for who we are, what we have and what we do, it will be like a flame spreading from the inside out.
When we develop our self esteem, we have to take control of our self discipline, our mission, and our values. 


Self esteem brings about self improvement. How do you start to put up the blocks of self esteem?


Be positive. Be contented and happy. Be appreciative. Never miss an opportunity to compliment. A positive way of living will help you to self improvement by building a good self esteem first.

As positive thinking affects almost every situation in your life's, how can one begin incorporating it into your life?

Using visualization for success: 3 pitfalls to avoid!
1. Do yoga or meditate.
​

Clearing your mind to allow you to focus your thoughts can bring your attention to what you need to be focusing on.

2. Look for the positive.

Be loving toward yourself and to others. Focus on your strengths and assets. Maybe you felt nervous when going to a particular event, but then you received lots of positive comments from others who were happy to see you.

3. Smile.

Force yourself to smile. It really does help to change your mood. And it relieves stress too.

4. Surround yourself with positive people.

Get away from the negative people in your life. Talk to people who are positive.


5. Halt negative thoughts immediately.

When you catch yourself with negative thoughts, give yourself permission to stop it. Instead of thinking, “I can’t do that. I’m not talented enough,” say “I can do that. I am just as talented as anyone else.”

6. Don’t play the victim.

You are responsible for creating your life. If you don’t like the situation, change it. 7. List five things you are grateful for at this moment.

Being grateful is a form of positive thinking.


8. Be nice to yourself.

Treat yourself with respect. Treat yourself the same way you would treat someone else. Would you call someone else names like ugly, fat or loser? Probably not. Then don’t do it to yourself.

9. No one is perfect. Move on.

Don’t dwell on your mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes. Learn a lesson from each of them and then move on.

​10. Learn to accept compliments. Build your self-esteem, self- image and confidence.

Take the compliment as it is meant to be given; as a gift. Compliments can help you build your self-image and self- confidence.​

11. Focus on what's possible.
​

Get rid of the negative words like “can’t.” Remind yourself that you don’t need others approval for your accomplishments. Focus on your own capabilities and what is possible.

Incorporating positive thoughts into your life can change your future. You can become happier, healthier and more successful if you believe you can.
