positive thinking techniques

Positive thinking is a way of life rather than a momentary thought. We need to learn to develop thinking positively as an ingrained habit rather than something we pull out only whenever we realize things are not going as we want. The term state of mind is appicable in so many ways. If we are in an upbeat fram of mind... well things just seem to go better! The reverse is tru as well. When we are in a down or depressed mode of thinking, things just seem to go from bad to worse. Remember, how we think and what we feel is impressed on our subconscious mind which expresses this through conditions, circumstances, and experiences. Well, are you thinking now that their have been times when you thought positively and believed something was going to happen, but it didn't? This is because you probably had negative affirmations, doubts, or old ways of thinking that were counter to this goal. Some of them may be so old or ingrained into your thinking you may not even have noticed. It could be so simple as you thinking that being too happy about something might "jinx" it, or thoughts popping in your head like "that doesn't happen to people like me." You can go around believe that your life is determined by silly superstitions or sadistic affirmations, but you won't grow, physical or other wise.

A good affirmation has five basic ingredients: Its personal Its positive Its present tense Its visual Its emotional

What image to you have of yourself? Make it a good one.

Much of what we feel is determined by our mental state. For instance, let's say you go cruise. You started out the morning all right, nothing out of the ordinary- your usual routine. When you get onto the deck, one of your friends walks up to you and says, "hey.. are you feeling ok? you look a bit pale? hope your not getting sea sick!" Up to now, you've not given much thought to how you felt. You thought you felt fine when you got up. Perhaps you look into a mirror and wonder if you do look a bit pale? In a few minutes,someone else walks up and says similar comments. Now you are sure you must not be feeling well- after all people are commenting! Well, in a short while, you probably will be pale and vomiting into the sea! The mind is a powerful thing, and you've just been given mere suggestions that you don't feel well. Now lets say someone went up the captian of the ship and said he looked sea sick. The captian would think the person is crazy and walk away with doubts about his health. Remember, its not the thought believed in, but the belief itself, that produces the result. Now that you were Shaqueille O'neal, and some said you were short. You would probably laugh at them or consider them ignorant. Just apply these same feelings to yourself when you are out, imagine that other people KNOW your tall, and to think otherwise is just plain stupid. Heeding (accepting) someone's suggestion that your, say, short, peggy, chubby, slow, or annoying, will have the same effect on you as if it were.

Now what would happen if you gave yourself positive suggestions and reinforcement? You can accomplish this by practicing being in a more positive fram of mind until it comes naturally. After some practice it will be a habit, and you will generally be positive. Giving yourself positive affirmations is a great tool to help you reinfore a positve outlook. (I am confident, successful, caring, tall, aware, etc.)

Now, just by "thinking" it true isn't going to get you anything and everything you desire. Its all about what we percieve to be possible. If you keep telling yourself that you are 7 feet tall, but believe its only possible for you to reach 6'2" by a long shot. Chances you won't be 7 feet or even 6'2" tall. However, much of what we perceive as being impossible for us to achieve or receive is not! We further complicate matters by feeling it is "bad" or "selfish" or "vain" to want material things, thereby again limiting ourselves and introducing a mental conflict to our goal.
