Positive Thinking and Re-Programming Your Mind

Have you ever heard of positive thoughts attracting good fortune? Or realized that more often than not the happy people in life are optimists? Have you ever observed that people who stay calm during the worst crisis are generally the ones who do not harbor negative thoughts? You must have noticed that most successful people have supreme faith in their abilities and believe that they deserve success.

If we open our eyes we will see examples of the miracles of positive thinking everywhere. Yet most of us end up spending half our lives worrying about or expecting the worst! Why? Have your worries ever actually stopped the problem or situation from occurring? Has expecting the worst ever made it easier to handle a crisis when it does happen? Isn’t it nicer to expect good fortune? At least you are saved the anxiety of spending hours expecting the worst. Isn’t it nicer to live a carefree life instead of spoiling our now thinking about tomorrow…when we are not even sure of what it might bring? However, the problem lies within your mind. It seems to control us. Even when we promise ourselves that we will think positive, it sneaks in negative thoughts and worries at every opportunity it gets.

Positive Thinking and Re-Programming Your Mind

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could learn to control our thoughts? If only we could control our mind instead of it working the other way? However, re-programming your mind requires a lot of effort at both the conscious and the subconscious levels of your brain. The following approaches might be of help:

Efforts at the Conscious level:

Positive Affirmations:

Telling yourself that you deserve the best constantly will help bring about a shift in your perception. For example, if you are constantly told you are a rubbish dancer, it doesn’t matter how much potential you really have - you will (sadly) start to see yourself as someone who cant dance. Also, if you tell yourself over and over again that you deserve the very best possible, you will slowly start to believe the affirmation, and it will become your reality.

Consciously diverting your mind-

Every time you catch your mind sneaking in dark thoughts, make a conscious effort to divert your attention to a positive thought. Just as anything that you do repeatedly becomes a habit, with time thinking positive will also become a habit.

Efforts at the Subconscious level:

Clinical Hypnosis-

Clinical hypnosis is a therapy through which a trained practitioner can delve into your subconscious and reprogram your mind. This is most beneficial to remove deep seeded negative thoughts, or even when your life is really suffering due to your constant negative thinking.

Subliminal messages-

This is a do-it-yourself approach. Subliminal messages have the power to influence your subconscious - there are even postive thinking subliminal cds. The fastest method of sending subliminal messages to your mind is with the use of audio based cds. In such Cds subliminal messages are either hidden behind music or are played in reverse (mixed with music). These messages are usually played past the level of our human hearing - i.e. above 20,000 Hz. People who believe in the power of subliminal cds claim that listening to them repeatedly can reprogram your mind and make it easier for you to control your thoughts.

The key to keeping a positive mindset no matter what, is to align your subconscious mind with your conscious thoughts - so that they are both working together to reach the same goal.
