Default How to Think Postive and Regain Power?

I shared this in another forum and I realize it made a difference to them. I would like to share this with everyone here too.

1. Create A DREAM You Want and Focus On It

Bob Proctor mentioned in this free Attraction Accelerator Report “Most people are not going after what they want. Even some of the most serious goal seekers and goal setters, they are going after what they think they can get.”

When you are going after the dream you want, you will be full of excitement to have that happen. If you are very excited and always focusing on how good it is to have your dream realize you won't spend time to think negative issues. You will try everything to achieve it and your focus shifted away from the negative thoughts.

If every area of your life are excited and what you want, your life is just excitement, fulfillment and inspirations.

2. A Mentor

When you have a mentor, he will know when you are sucked into the “negative black hole” and know how to pull you out. He will train you how to speak, act and think like a successful man. This is the most important step after having a dream you want.

3. Successful Environment

There’s a saying by some of the most successful people “Your income is the average income of the 5 people you spent most time being with.” A positive environment will not tolerate negativity. Let’s imagine you are having a meeting with 5 very positive people. You’ll notice each time you brought up a negative opinion, you’ll either shut up or your speaking will be changed by yourself or those 5 positive people.

A positive thinking environment will not tolerate any negative thinking.

4. Gratitude

In “The Secret“, you’ve probably heard of gratitude. Gratitude is an attitude. It impacts the way you think, speak and act into a positive manner. Normally people are focusing on what they don’t have or what they think they will lose:

“I don’t have a hot and sexy body.”
“I don’t have enough money.”
“I don’t have good speaking skills.”

or

“What if I lose my job?”
“What if I lose my spouse and children?”

This is the normal way of thinking. If you are living you life like this, it’s very negative. All your life will be just about dissatisfactions of lacking and fear of losing. If you are practicing gratitude, you’ll will have all these thoughts:

“I am happy and grateful to live.”
“I am happy and grateful to have a job and a meal in front of my table.”
“I am happy and grateful to have this and that. What else can I create for my life and other people.”

This is a very positive and powerful thought that disappears your negative thoughts immediately and you are able to influence people around you.

5. Take out a piece of paper

When you are thinking negative, take out a piece of paper and pen. Answer the following question:

Question 1: What is your concern that make you feel negative? (It might be a concern that you’ll lose money or someone in your life. Just write it down to make it clear.)

Question 2: What happen that cause you having the concern? (You won’t have concern out of a sudden. What happen that make you start to concern? Probably you are not making sales that cause you concern about your business or your spouse just had an argument with you that cause you concern about the marriage.)

**After answering your question 2, cross out the answer of the question 1 because that is your expectation of the worst situation that might happen from question 2. Those are illusions that make you get stuck in your own negative thoughts.

Question 3: How to handle or deal with the answer in question 2? (Once you disappear your concern, this question bring you to think positively and move on. You are no longer stuck.)

After answering these 3 question, your negative thoughts will be gone and you’ll realize that you are already in a positive mindset.

Hope all warriors enjoy and get value from it! If you are interested in the original post which is a 1500 word article that explains how human are developed to think like this, go to the original post here:
