Develop Positive Thinking : Programming Our Thoughts

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

A car can only go in two directions, either forward or backward, and like a car, we can move forward or backward in our lives. Our every thought either takes us toward our goals and desires or away, and has a positive or negative effect on the direction of our lives.

Compare your brain to a computer. If a new PC is loaded up with virus contaminated programs would you expect it to run smoothly? Of course not, because you get out of the computer exactly what you put in - your brain is exactly the same.

Your every thought determines the direction of your life. If you are moving backward then take time to analyze your thoughts. Make a determined effort to recognize negative thoughts and treat them as your worst enemy. Try not to dwell on them. Putty can be molded into any shape or form and so too, your life can be shaped and your destiny set by your thoughts.

Remember, the potential for change is the same for everyone. It only takes acceptance of the idea that change is possible coupled with the determination to follow-through. It's not always easy to control our thoughts, but certainly not impossible, and the rewards can last a lifetime.

There are many books on the subject of self-help, but remember, you must take action to succeed. Your thoughts will not change simple by reading an article or book. You must apply what you learn to your everyday affairs. Allow what you read to awaken the possibility of change within you, then take action.

One of the most beneficial practices for positive thinking is to look for the "good" in everyone and everything. Remember to encourage others everyday by a kind word or deed and be ready to offer (or receive) compliments.

Find opportunities to put the power of your positive thinking to work. For example, you might be standing in a long line at the supermarket checkout. Rather than get upset, do your utmost to help-out and encourage others with a kind word or compliment. You will be surprised at the positive reaction and at how many people will bless you with a wonderful smile in-return.

Taking the time to notice others and look for the "good" in every situation will not only life your spirits, but will brighten the day for everyone around you - it's a win-win situation to be sure. There are a 1001 ways to look for the good in others, be they family, friends or those you may only meet once. So, get the lead-out, get rid of those negative thoughts and become a winner.

Begin today to change your thought patterns one step at a time. Set yourself a goal for the week or month and devote full attention to controlling your thoughts. Start with at least one hour each day and increase the time as your confidence and thinking improve. It is a habit that needs nurturing and a habit you'll come to cherish.

Over the years I have been putting a lot of hardwork in my career. I always try to do more than expected in any task that was assigned to me. In fact, this mentality has started during I was study in pre-university. I wanted to get a good academic result so that I can continue my study in a local University. I am very hardworking since then. Today I still continue the habits inherited from my pre-university time. However when I try to do my best, I always unintentionally give myself certain pressure. It is some kind of mental pressure.

With this kind of habits it is still ok when I have no big responsibility. However recently as my working experience increase, I was given bigger responsibility. I started to feel the pressure. My previous job functionality had a more specific responsibility where I can have more control of the tasks myself. When my responsibility increase it seems like more ad-hoc and last minutes task comes to me more often. I know that in order to continue my career smoothly I need to learn how to relax properly.

I have learned how to relax physically. I have been learning Tai Chi for a few years and I know how to relax physically. However I discovered that relaxing physically is just not enough. When urgent tasks comes, you will just forgot to relax. You will automaticlly feel the pressure mentally.

Recently I have come a cross four very important words: Easy, Relax, Healthy, Positive. I encounter these words in Steve Pavlina is Million Dollar Experiment. I have participate in this experiment and I’m currently holding the following intention:

In an easy and relaxed manner, in a healthy and positive way, in its own perfect time, for the highest good of all, I intend $1,000,000 to come into my life and into the lives of everyone who holds this intention.

These four words Easy, Relax, Healty, Positive is recommended by Marc Allen in his book The Millionaire Course. He recommends to begin each affirmation with the words, “In an easy and relaxed manner, in a healthy and positive way….” And sometimes he would add the words, “In its own perfect time, for the highest good of all….”. In Steve Pavlina’s interview with him Marc Allen mentions the following experience that he had gone through:

Over the years I came to realize that those four words — easy, relaxed, healthy, and positive — in themselves, when repeated often, overcame a lot of my doubts and fears. “It won’t be easy,” whisper our doubts and fears. “It certainly won’t be relaxed — achieving success is stressful! You’ve got to work really, really hard to succeed,” etc. etc.

Affirming, over and over, “I am now creating a successful career (or whatever) in an easy and relaxed manner, in a healthy and positive way” will over time overcome a huge number of your doubts and fears.

This is not just theory — this is true in my experience, and in the experience of a great many others. You don’t have to believe in any of this — just try it for yourself, and you’ll see the results!

I am now starting to use these four words more frequently. I believe in the long run, I will be certainly benefits from these words if I use it over and over again.
