Positive thinking as thought and practice by many people is actually not as dangerous as negative thinking. But it has it downsides. You have been reading and hearing from many people that thoughts are powerful. But the thing that you will have to know is that it is not totally powerful. There is another aspect which you have to know and it is the reality.

For example, you can try to think of turning a page in the newspaper. You can think for the next 10 years and you will still not be able to turn a page in the newspaper. Thoughts are powerful but you must also realize the reality. There is a lot of power in your physical ability too.

If you do not know how to differentiate the reality and the thoughts, you will go through a stage of denying the truth of what’s actually happening for a mental image which you find more pleasant.

For example you have cut on your forehead. The positive thinker might say to you that your head is fine and you should just think of that cut as a illusion. But in actual fact, you have a cut and that is the reality. But what you can do is that to wipe up the wound and have a positive thinking that the wound will heal faster.

Having a positive thinking is important but we must also be aware of our reality. If you know how to balance between reality and positive thinking, you will be able to achieve the dreams and goals that you want.

    The power of positive thinking, you have probably heard this sentence before, but what does it mean and how can we train ourselves so positive thinking becomes automatic?

    For most people unfortunately, negative thinking is more common than positive thinking. Most people through the day have a lot more negative thoughts about themselves, their situations, or their workplace, than positive thoughts.

    Why is this?

    It seems like children from the time they are born, think positively, but as children age into adults, they start to think more negatively about themselves and others. So how can we change this?

    The way to change this is to try to be more deliberate in your thoughts. Try to monitor your thoughts through the day, and as soon as you catch yourself thinking negatively about a situation you must stop yourself and try to come up with some positive thoughts.

    Like trying to break any bad habits it takes time. Most experts think that it takes 21 days to form a habit or 21 days to break a habit. So you have to try and work hard at trying to think positively for at least 21 days.

    The good news is that once positive thinking becomes a habit for you it becomes automatic. This is when life really begins for you. Imagine what your life would be like if you had no negative thoughts. Every thought you have is about how great your life is and how grateful you are for each person in your life.

    Well you don’t have to only image a life like that; you can start living it right now. Make positive thinking a habit in your life.

    From childhood to adulthood, the knowledge we gain or the experiences we have in our lives only helps us to discover our outer personality and brings us closer to material things of this world. At the same time we sometimes get depressed or fall into a low self-esteem Problem. Spiritual Affirmations help us get out of these problems. Spiritual Affirmations leads us towards a happy and satisfying life with a peaceful mind.

    Affirmations are a judgment that we pass or any thought we have. An affirmation is directly linked to our sub consciousness. Affirmations can either be negative or positive which can either guide our subconscious actions to a successful life or towards failure.

    Spiritual Affirmations are a form of meditation which when mediated often, have a desirable results. For example if a person has a lack of confidence or self-esteem problem sit in a peaceful, quiet place with some spiritual affirmations in your mind, let the emotions flow to you and start saying the spiritual affirmations aloud, ‘I believe in myself’ or ‘My inner self will always guide me towards right path with decisions that are beneficial to me and others’.

    The key behind spiritual affirmations is to let go of all your negative thoughts and trust completely in yourself. Instead of thinking ‘This project is too difficult for me’ try thinking ‘I am capable of anything and obstacles do not effect me or my work’. Once you adopting this kind of spiritual affirmation you will notice a positive and healthy change in your life.

    The best way to carry out spiritual affirmation technique is to release your mind of any negative thought, sit in a peaceful and quiet place, relax and visualize any positive spiritual affirmation such as ‘My mind is at peace now’. At the same time try to use simple words and sentences which can easily be interpreted by our mind and mind can easily accept it to be true.

    Spiritual affirmations not only help to achieve a peaceful mind and happy life but also helps us draw closer to God. Remember God and His blessings as much as possible while utilizing the spiritual affirmation technique. For example “I let my renewed soul thank God for His blessings” or ‘I release my old self and reborn with a new pure soul’. The most acceptable and commonly used word in spiritual affirmation is ‘Amen’ meaning ‘so be it’. While some of us use it to conclude our prayer, it can be used for spiritual affirmation.

    For a positive result spiritual affirmation needs to be repeated many times for effectiveness. Write down any positive thought you get maybe in a diary, on a piece of card or whichever way is convenient to you. Review them daily to get your mind to completely accept these thoughts. Preferably review them twice a day. Initially during spiritual affirmation technique we will also get negative thoughts. Note down these thoughts as well and at the end of the day review them and try replacing them with something more positive. Once you perform this spiritual affirmation technique on a regular basis you will find a positive change in yourself with a renewed spirit.
