What is Positive Thinking? What is A Positive Attitude?
A positive thinker is a person that expects good things to happen. They anticipate happiness, joy, love, success, and pleasure from every action.
When looking to purchase a television a positive person says, “I am happy and grateful that I found a television that fits my budget.”
A negative person says or thinks, “I can’t afford the television that I really want.”
When a positive person becomes stuck in traffic, they think, “I’ll be late but now I can use this time to call my friend,” or “I’m sure this will clear up soon.”
A negative person thinks or says, “I don’t want to be late.” Or “Why does this always happen to me?”
The difference is subtle to our minds but it is powerful and the difference adds up over time. Consider what an effect of 10 years of negative thoughts can have on your body, your relationships, and even your financial status.
Conversely, consider how your life might be different if you’d never had a negative thought. What habits would you have avoided?
What would be different? Often times people pick up negative habits to soothe their negative thoughts. Overeating, for example, is often linked to depression and unhappiness.
If that depression didn’t exist, the overeating would vanish. There would be no need to console bad feelings with food.
What would your life be like if, starting today, you never had another negative thought? What would be different?
How would your relationships improve? How would your job change?
What would happen if the people around you never had another negative thought?
Positive thinking and a positive attitude can be contagious. Do you ever find yourself feeling poorly about yourself or about the world after speaking with a negative person?
Do you ever find yourself smiling for no good reason after someone has showed you an unexpected kindness?
Positive and negative emotions are powerful and they are infectious.
Consider how much you could help your loved one’s lives improve simply by thinking positively yourself. So . . . make it a point to practice thinking positively more often.
Create that Positive Attitude for yourself. For more free information on Positive Attitudes, visit the Positive Attitudes section of The Realgoalgetter Site. Also pick up the free “How To Harness The Power Of Positive Thinking” report while you are there on our free ezine subscription page.
