Controlling Positive and Negative Thoughts

Success is a state of mind. If you want success, start thinking of yourself as a success.

Dr. Joyce Brothers

Lets look at why we have trouble controlling our thoughts.

Think of the times things seemed to just fall into place and everything was in perfect order. Then really think of how you felt. I can assure you all, that the feeling would be one of calm, a relaxed mood, and confidence.

The unfortunate thing is that we are programmed to think that we feel relaxed and calm because things are going well. Sorry not true, things go well because you are relaxed and calm.

This is one of the major stumbling blocks with turning your fortunes around. Once you understand this and realise that it is the calm relaxed mood that will make things align and fall into place, you are well on the way to having the life you dream of.

So many of us think that we have to rush around and really push things to get anywhere, and everytime I advise someone to stop take it easy and just look at things calmly, they seem to get immediate results.

I can assure you that this is the main part to manifesting your vision. The kicker is it is also the hardest bit to master.

What I suggest you do, is take note of when things are going well and try to capture the thought process that got you to that point. There will always be something that created the new mood. It could be some news of friends or family, it could be a windfall, it could be that you are on holiday, away from all the hectic life at home. Whatever it is, you will realise that all that has changed is your mindset, and a firm belief, that things WILL change.

When you think about it, it is so simple. Most of us just disregard it, because we always look for the route of most resistance, and of course we have been programmed to limit our expectations.

All the restrictions and stumbling blocks you imagine are only programmed into you, it is strange when people say, "think outside the box" There is no box, it is only the limitations you put on yourself by believing things that are told to you, by people who do not really know.

See how many people you can think of who are highly successful, who were told at school, that they would amount to nothing. The reason that they became successful is that they did not believe what they were told. One of the main aids to success is to take the first step. That becomes a lot harder if you start analysing input from people who have not actually taken that step themselves. This is called analysis causing paralysis, it is actually one of the main causes of a dull boring life.

If you can master this simple concept of just relaxing and having faith and belief in your desires, you are on the way.

A big problem that we have is that when things are changing, there seems to be disruption in our lives. This is the point where 99% of us think that things are not working out, and you let go of your belief and faith. In that moment you have changed your thoughts to despair and negativity, and GUESS WHAT? Yep, you attract more to you.

A great question I get asked a lot is, "Why does the universe respond so quickly to negative thoughts in my life and so slowly to positive thoughts?."

The simple answer is that you are more in tune with the negative thoughts, you have responded and encouraged them all your life. The great thing is that once you learn how to control the positive thoughts and you have total faith and trust in your thoughts, the reaction time is a lot quicker. Automatically you realise just how powerful you are and you get rid of all the negative voices and influences, and all of a sudden the positive thoughts react quicker than the negative.

Everyone has the ability to choose what they think, and what you think is what you get. So what are you waiting for? Be prepared to experience the disruption of change and hang in there. I love the line in IF by Rudyard Kipling. 'Until there is nothing else left in me, except a voice which says to me hang on.'

It is always when things seem the darkest, that they are about to change.
