Living One Positive Day

Remez Sasson — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 06:51:59 +0000

How about making an experiment with positive thinking?

How about living one whole day thinking, talking and acting positively?

Spend one day being completely positive, in thoughts, words and actions. If you feel any negative thoughts creeping in, then push them away and replace them with positive ones.

On this day, speak positively. Use positive words, congratulate people, show them your appreciation.

Avoid negative feelings, and when you feel they are getting the upper hand, think about some pleasant event or situation from the past, or engage in some positive activity that will take your attention away from these negative feelings.

Put a smile on your face and greet every person you see in a friendly way.

Smile, be nice and talk politely, even to people you don’t like.

Approach every task and action with a positive attitude, and with the belief and confidence that you can do it.

You will be amazed how this kind of behavior works. You would see immediate results in the attitude of people toward you.

This might not be easy, but this is just an experiment for one day, so do your best. You might again and again think negatively, but again and again bring yourself to think and feel positively.

Imagine what would happen if you did this everyday. You could really make some big changes in your life, in your relationships and in your work.

If you can live one positive day, how about two days, one week, one month, or every day of your life? What you can do in one day, you can learn to do every day. This will completely change your life.

Start trying to be more positive every day. Always look for the good in every situation and make the most of it. Always look for the bright side and see the half full of the glass, and your life will start to be brighter and happier.

A Better Life Starts in the Mind

It is difficult to stay positive, when you lose your job and lose your money. At such a time, it is so easy to fall prey to negative thinking and imagining more disasters. Yet, it is at this time that positive thinking becomes so important.

If you let your thoughts become negative, if you feel despair, will this help you in any way? Absolutely not! You may say that the world conditions have changed and you can do nothing about it. You may say you are too old, or too inexperienced to get a new job, and that new jobs are sparse and hard to get. All this might be true, but there have always people who became successful even in difficult times.

You limit yourself by your thoughts, ideas and beliefs. Thoughts can be like shackles, tying you to the ground, and they can be like wings, taking you far away. It is your choice. A better life starts in the mind.

You might not be able to change you circumstances and the world around you, but you can change your inner, mental world. You can choose your thoughts, you can refuse to feel pity for yourself and picture problems and disasters, and you can fill your mind with positive thoughts and mental images.

All changes start in the mind, and you therefore need to change the way you think in order to improve your life. If you keep thinking about your current situation, of having no job and no money, you will get more despondent and unhappy and see more problems, because you focus on them, and do nothing to get out of this situation.

No matter how difficult it might be, stop your negative thinking. It will not cost you money to do so. A better life starts in the mind.

In your imagination, see yourself having a good job and earning money. Don’t say this is impossible. Believe what you are visualizing, enjoy the visualization, like you enjoy a good movie, and refuse the strong temptation to despair and say this is all nonsense.

When you focus on success you start seeing opportunities. You intuition becomes sharper, and people become more helpful. When you change your inner world of thoughts, your external world changes too, because your external world is the mirror of your inner world.

You can visualize and achieve your dreams. You can change your life, and it all starts in your mind.

Some Information About Positive Thinking

Remez Sasson — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 08:35:38 +0000

A new article has been added to the positive thinking section of the website, called “Being Positive in good times and bad times”. Here is an excerpt from it:

“Though there so much talk about positive thinking, few really understand what it is. Being positive doesn’t mean ignoring what is happening around you and living within some kind of a “positive bubble”.

You cannot expect someone going through problems or disasters, or living in difficult circumstances, to ignore to his/her present condition and start thinking positively right away.

It is easier to think positively when in comfortable situations, but not when in the midst of problems, disasters or a harsh situation, unless you are trained.

Being positive, like any other skill, requires gradual development and training. No one can speak a new foreign language, before studying and practicing for some time. A person, who is not trained, cannot lift heavy barbells or run or swim like an athlete.

Saying that everything is going to be all right, smiling with no reason or ignoring problems and dificulties, without trying to solve them, is not being positive. It is being unpractical.”

Positive Thinking in Difficult Times

Remez Sasson — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 07:17:05 +0000

It is rather easier to feel positive when everything goes well, but real positive thinking is revealed when you can maintain it difficult times. It is then that you need it most.

In difficult times, when there are problems and the economic condition is tough, it is so easy to get into negative thinking and self-pity, and be sucked into a vicious circle of worries, fears and the expectation of more problems, lack of money or poverty.

You may read books and articles on positive thinking, and believe that you are positive, but when difficulties and rough times appear, you just forget everything and focus on the problems and difficulties, instead of believing in yourself, looking for solutions and seeking and seizing opportunities.

If you have no job, no money and the future looks bleak you might:

Indulge in self-pity and feel bad and helpless.
Indulge in worries and fears and expect more problems.
Become resentful and angry at the world and at successful people.
Be sad and focus on your problems.

Does this attitude help you in anything? No, it will only get you deeper into problems, because when you see and expect problems you create more problems. This is where positive thinking and positive attitude are required. It is true, it is not so easy to reject negative thinking in such circumstances, and even if you try, you might find yourself again and again reverting to negative thinking and dwelling on your problems.

If you have lost your way in a forest, will thoughts about your predicament help you? If you just sit down on a rock, and think and imagine that you will never find your way out help you in any way?

If you have failed, lost money or your job, will thinking how bad your condition is help you find a new job or earn money?

Wherever you are now, whatever your situation is, there is always a way out. This might require a different way of thinking, a different approach or developing new skills. Forget the past, as you cannot change it, but you can change your present, and when you change your present, you also change your future.

Keeping a positive attitude, expecting the best, striving to do the best and refusing to indulge in self-pity, negative thinking and worries is the road to a better and happier life.

They even find it hard to be positive when things go well. Most of them don’t know how to be positive and what they need to do.
