Positive Thinking Your Way to Direct Selling Success

Life Strategies For Helping You Help Yourself

The complaints are the same, only the names and faces of the consultants have changed. "No one wants to book parties." "I can't find anyone who wants to sell!" "I can't find anyone that is interested!" "This is too hard!" "I'll never make it to leader."

If you are a leader with a Direct Selling company you've probably heard this from your downline. If you are a consultant you've probably had these thoughts or voiced these concerns to your upline.

Of all the things you can do to "increase your chance for failing" having a negative attitude is number one on the list. The problem is, when we focus on what we don't want to happen, we are actually creating the environment to continue more of the same thing. Come on, you know what I'm talking about. We become what we think about every day. If we consistently think that we can't book any parties, WE WON'T BOOK ANY PARTIES! If we consistently think it's hard to sponsor, IT WILL BE HARD TO SPONSOR!

So, can changing your thinking really change the outcome. Yes and No! Changing your thinking cannot change the outcome all by itself. You need to change your thinking as well as change your habits to change the outcome.

Here are a few ideas that can help you change your life to have successful outcomes. Take a notebook and draw a line down the center of the page. At the top of the column write Positive on one half and Negative on the other half. Then every day for a week, write down everything that comes into your thoughts under one of the columns. At the end of the week take a serious look at what you have been thinking about for the week. If you have over 50 percent of your thoughts on the negative side you are sabotaging yourself. Now, I'm not a "Pollyanna" (OK, maybe I am) and I know that all of us have some negative thoughts once in awhile but we need to make sure that there are two to three times more positive thought than negative to create an environment for change.

If you haven't already passed out from the shock of the previous exercise then it is time to take what we have learned and create an environment to change. It often takes an action to become "aware of the negative thought" and immediately replace it with a positive thought!

I practiced a technique that I learned from Mark Victor Hansen in "The One Minute Millionaire" that involved having a rubber band on your wrist. Every time you have a negative thought you snap the rubber band and replace the thought with a positive one. Your goal is to go a week without snapping the rubber band. Trust me, this is not easy. We are often pre-conditioned to think of the worst rather than the best possible outcome. Do something each day for a week that will include consciously changing your negative thoughts to positive ones. Think of yourself as already being the person you want to become. If you are looking to move to a leadership position with your company, put the vision in your head. If you would look and act differently make sure you include this mental picture of what you would look like into your vision.

After two to four weeks of training your brain to think positively rather than negatively, it's time to begin DOING things that will change the outcome. Remember, it's not just enough to change your thoughts, you also need to change your actions. If you've been thinking to yourself, "No one wants to have a party" and you've changed your thoughts to "everyone I meet is interested in my product and the opportunity to earn some by hosting a party", you will begin to act differently when you come in contact with people. Instead of avoiding people and being afraid to call you will be anxious to share with prospects and find a way that will be a "win-win" situation for everyone.

Refrain from returning to your "old bad thoughts and bad habits". It takes at least 21 days to create a new habit. I have been walking 3 miles every Monday through Friday morning for over 20 years and yet last winter when the weather was bad and I skipped a few weeks of walking I found that it took me about 3 weeks to get back into the habit.

Become persistent at having positive thoughts and actions and try not to let anything or anyone get in your way. Continually replace negative thoughts and actions with positive thoughts and actions and you will notice the difference within a few weeks. As Mark Victor Hansen states in "The One Minute Millionaire", control your thinking and you will control your behavior, control your behavior and you will control your results. It all begins with you!!!

    Knowing the Power of Positive Thinking

    Life Strategies For Helping You Help Yourself

    >>  Click Here To Discover How You Can Create The Life You Want <<

    In the self-help and wellness industry, a mission has been designed to aid those around us to be more fulfilled, more joyful, more confident…you name it. The adage, think positive, be positive is one that millions of people have taken on, at least in thought. And though positive thinking can certainly push aside our negative thought patterns that spiral us to a sense of low self-esteem, helplessness, hopelessness and a pattern of feeling stuck or trapped in a life we would like to change, thinking alone will not help.

    Without action, your thoughts are merely stepping stones to a dream. ~Gina Kovacs

    Sound simple? Because it is. Wherever your thoughts lay will certainly manifest itself by words and deeds. To take a big step forward, begin by changing your thoughts, your words and your actions.

    I have a client who would like to lose ten pounds. She would like to be, in effect, thinner. In asking her how she would feel by losing ten pounds, she explained she would feel healthy, fit, and attractive. “On top of her game”; I was excited for her. Being “on top of your game” and saying you are on top of your game means that anything you say and do has to be that in which you are on top of your game. Would a person who sees themselves on top of their game eat a Big Mac, French fries and Coke? I doubt it.

    When an aspect of your life is at a point when you can’t stand the frustrations of it one moment longer, you are ready for that change. Let’s take losing weight for example. When you are at a point that you can not stand looking in the mirror, angry at the fact that you can not get into your jeans, and frustrated to even look at those infomercials that show before and afters for the hundredth time of people who have successfully achieved their goals, you are at a pivot point for change.

    Remember: If someone at any time has ever done whatever it is you would like to accomplish, then you can do it too.

    When you have a direction and are excited about that direction, that pivot point has power. Don’t ever think for one moment that you can not make changes in your life that will gain you greater confidence, fulfillment, and inner peace. One small step can begin a domino effect. It’s that simple.

    Life coaching has helped many people reach their goals. My company, Living by Design, is the product of my own experiences and of those around me. We are in a world of radical change. If we don’t take the time to stop, take a moment to really look at our life and make the changes needed in order to have the most joyful and exhilarating experience possible, life will surely pass us by in a blink and we will have missed out on what “could have been”.

    If you are at a pivot point ready for change in any area of your life or would like to learn more about how you can begin to live your life by your design, please contact me @ 373-2815 or @ gina@livingalifebydesign.com

    The Secret Power Of Positive Thinking

    Life Strategies For Helping You Help Yourself

    70 miles north of New York City is the home of positive thinking, Pawling, New York. Pawling is a town of Optimists and one Optimist that put this town on the map was Dr. Norman Vincent Peale. Known as the Father of the Positive Thinking and Motivational movement in the 1950’s and Founder of the Center for Positive Thinking, Peale’s sprit can still be felt on Pawling’s streets. Residents of Pawling have a lot to feel upbeat about too! Real estate values and salaries are above the national average.

    “If we can change our thinking we can change our lives”. This was a central theme to Dr. Peale’s message and belief system that he shared with millions of people. If you find yourself in tough circumstances, instead of giving in to negative thoughts and thinking try the old “glass is half-full, not half-empty” approach to life. I believe that what the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve! Truly effective positive thinking requires that you focus on positive thoughts and positive emotions and take positive action. Positive People maintain a positive frame of mind and think about the possibilities for growth and success that life offers. They have an attitude of positive expectancy. They expect happiness, health, love and good relationships. They think in terms of 'I will succeed, I can, etc. The benefits of positive thinking are:

    Achieving goals and attaining success.

    Better relationships with family & friends

    Greater happiness.

    More energy.

    Greater inner power and strength.

    The ability to inspire and motivate yourself and others.

    If you follow these simple yet tried and true suggestions to incorporating positive thinking into your life and work you will be amazed at the results! www.dougdvorak.com

    The Cause Of Affirmation Problems And How To Solve It

    Life Strategies For Helping You Help Yourself

    >>  Click Here To Discover How You Can Create The Life You Want <<

    The primary reason to why affirmations don't work, or only work to a certain extent, is that we are not receptive to them – Our debilitating emotions and disturbing thoughts simply stop them from working.

    This is a paradox, because affirmations are very often used with the express purpose of eliminating negative feelings and disturbing thoughts so we can get what we long for. But they can't be used this way. Not effectively and never long-term. We all know that.

    So the only solution to this problem is to first heal ourselves from negative feelings and disturbing thoughts.

    How can we do this?

    Well, we need to know that all our reactions to the different events that occur in our lives are, in essence, always based on who and what we believe we are – in other words, on our innermost self-image and sense of worth as a human being - or more simply stated – based on our self-esteem...

    We need, in other words, to take care of our self-esteem so we can free ourselves from debilitating emotions and disturbing thoughts.

    Once this is accomplished (we can all do this) affirmations will start to work in a more effective and successful way.

    And in many cases, we won’t even need affirmations anymore because positive self-esteem enables us to think through positive affirmations automatically – with no effort on our part – both on a conscious and subconscious level...

    And here's where the magic starts. Here’s where the The Law of Attraction starts to work at its best and fullest potential.

    We can finally attract the success, wealth, and the circumstances that bring us joy, free of limiting beliefs and disturbances in our mind, that limit our potential for happiness and success.
