A Positive Mind With One Verse

Loving life means trying to live a fulfilled life. But doing so can be difficult without having a positive mindset. For many, it can be pretty hard to enjoy living a life full of problems and worries. But even in a situation such as this, life can be enjoyed by having a positive state of mind.

Having a positive attitude can help you appreciate life more. It can help you stay focused on what it needs to love life and enjoy it. One of the important things to remember in life is that the way you think can influence the way you act. By thinking always on the positive side, you are reinforcing your attitude to focus on all the good life has to offer. There are other ways that a positive mindset can be practiced on a daily basis. It is simply a matter of trying it out.

One way of creating a positive state of mind is by simply appreciating life. Some people may tend to forget that life itself is short of miraculous. Just the daily functions that you go through tends to be overlooked most of the time. But in the seemingly ordinary and common activities such as walking, talking, seeing and hearing, these abilities that most of us possess are often taken for granted.

As a child of 8 years of age, I had an autograph book, which everyone wrote in. My uncle wrote a verse, it is the only one I have really remembered. At the time I didn’t understand it and thought he was odd for writing it. I used to repeat it over and over and I couldn’t get it out of my head. He wrote, “I complained because I had no shoes, ’til I met a man who had no feet.”

That one verse has definitely made a positive influence in my life.

Just imagine if you cannot walk anymore, talk to someone or see the beauty that is all around you. What if you suddenly find yourself not being able to do what you normally do? Many people only realize that what they have is valuable only after losing them. So why not appreciate life in general and the many things that you can still do and be thankful for.

Another way of trying to develop a positive mindset is by trying to focus on the simple things in life. Life can be so simple and enjoyed more if people only learnt to be content. By just focusing on the simple things in life, you try to avoid making life a little more complicated. Worrying won’t get you anywhere, only deeper into a hole that you may be building for yourself. The more you worry, the deeper the hole gets and the harder it will take to climb out.

Another way to develop a positive mindset is to share the happiness that you feel. You may not be aware of it, but loving and enjoying life can be contagious. If you have a positive mindset, try to share it with others by helping them think positively for a change. Just by looking at how good you feel about loving life, they might also wish to follow your example.

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.
