INTODUCTION TO POSITIVE THINKING

What is positive thinking:-

Positive thinking is the way and how you conduct your mind in create the solution to

something or in the situation that u need to bring a result so from that result you will have

the great ending and find the best solution in your situation. Positive thinking is more

than just something you do when things go wrong or when you try to correct a situation

that you think it go wrong. Positive thinking is a way of living, it's a practice, and it’s a

technique that you need to incorporate into your daily life if you have any intentions of

changing things or accomplishing your goals. You can't suddenly start and then stop when

things get better. Positive thinking related with positive attitude and it will help you to

cope more easily with the daily affairs of life. It brings optimism into your life, and

makes it easier to avoid worry and negative thinking in yourself.

If you adopt it as a way of life, it will bring constructive changes into your life, and

makes them happier, brighter and more successful. With a positive attitude you see the

bright side of life, become optimistic and expect the best to happen. It is certainly a state

of mind that is well worth developing and strengthening.

The Negative thinking:-

2
Negative thoughts, words and attitude bring up negative and unhappy moods and actions.

When the mind is negative, poisons are released into the blood, which cause more

unhappiness and negativity. This is the way to failure, frustration and disappointment.

Once a negative thought enters your mind, you have to be aware of it and endeavor to

replace it with a constructive one. The negative thought will try again to enter your mind,

and then you have to replace it again with a positive one. It is as if there are two pictures

in front of you, and you choose to look at one of them and disregard the other. Persistence

will eventually teach your mind to think positively and ignore negative thoughts. In case

you feel any inner resistance when replacing negative thoughts with positive ones, do not

give up, but keep looking only at the beneficial, good and happy thoughts in your mind

THE DIFERENT BETWEEN POSITIVE THINKING AND WISHFUL

THINKING.

Among the people who accept it, not many know how to use it effectively to get results.

Yet, it seems that many are becoming attracted to this subject, as evidenced by the many

books, lectures and courses about it. This is a subject that is gaining popularity. It is quite

common to hear people say: "Think positive!” to someone who feels down and worried.

Most people do not take these words seriously, as they do not know what it really means,

or do not consider it as useful and effective.

How many people do you know that ever stop to think what the power of positive

thinking means? Here the deferent of positive thinking between the wishful thinking:-

The Wishful Thinking

 I know things will get better.

I know I'll get a job, I have to. I'm sure I'll get a better job.

I'm just going to take my time and… I'll meet someone I really like.

gets results mind but you never trying to get it.

All of our feelings, beliefs and knowledge are based on our internal thoughts, both

conscious and subconscious. We are in control, whether we know it or not. We can be

positive or negative, enthusiastic or dull, active or passive. The biggest difference

between people is their attitudes. For some, learning is enjoyable and exciting. For others,

learning is drudgery.

THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING

4
Positive Thinking for Your Health

Positive thinking is an effective way to achieve mastery of self healing. Maintenance of a

positive energy level in a healer's own energy field reduces stress and emotional tension

in the healer and in others. Positive emotions and feelings and a positive mental attitude

can improve the quality of people's lives and heal their bodies of illnesses and stresses.

On the other hand, negative emotions and feelings bring poisoning toxins to the

organism. Strong negative emotions such as anger, spite, envy, jealousy, and fear make

the endocrine system accumulate poisons in the blood. Anxiety, depression, and doubt

can also cause poisoning of the blood. Passive and lengthy negative emotions are even

more dangerous for health than active, sudden and momentary negative emotions.

Negative emotions shorten the span of life.

Positive Thinking in Your Social life.

Besides healing illnesses, positive attitudes help one to withstand troubles and problems,

make correct decisions, and overcome obstacles. Do not focus on negative events; try to

discover a positive perspective. For example, individuals should understand that they

need to read more or think more of others in order to find ways of perfect

communication. Because the thoughts of individuals are either positive or negative, they

are reflected in their social or asocial behaviors. People should observe and conceive the

world around them, as well as their inner worlds, with positive perceptions.

Positive Thinking in Your Day life.

Positive thinking is one of the most important things you need to practice throughout

your life. Positive thinking is a mental attitude that admits into the mind thoughts, words

and images that are conductive to growth, expansion and success. It is a mental attitude

that expects good and favorable results. A positive mind anticipates happiness, joy,

health and a successful outcome of every situation and action.

Whatever the mind expects, it finds. The only problem is that a lot of people think they

know what positive thinking is. But they all wrong to decide and to know what the style

of they is are thinking. Not everyone accepts or believes in positive thinking. Some

consider the subject as just nonsense, and others scoff at people who believe and accept

it. WE have abilities and powers that where’re apparently not even aware of. We were

born with these powers but we have never learned how to master them. Instead we go

through life trying different things and hoping for the best - but never really getting the

most out of our own powers. Doctors and scientists now firmly believe that 75% of all

sickness and disease starts in the mind. Researchers have also proven that stress, which

starts in the mind, is the number one cause of all fatigue and illness.

Positive Thinking in Your Study.

For many, learning is just okay, something required on the road to a job.Our present

attitudes are habits, built from the feedback of parents, friends, society and self, that

forms our self-image and our world-image.

These attitudes are maintained by the inner conversations we constantly have with

6
ourselves, both consciously and subconsciously. The first step in changing our attitudes is

to change our inner conversations.

.The first step in changing our attitudes is to change our inner conversations.

What Should We Be Saying?

One approach is called the three C's: Commitment, Control and Challenge.

Commitment

Make a positive commitment to you, to learning, work, family, friends, nature, and other

worthwhile causes. Praise yourself and others. Dream of success. Be enthusiastic.

Control

Keep your mind focused on important things. Set goals and priorities for what you think

and do. Visualize practicing your actions. Develop a strategy for dealing with problems.

Learn to relax. Enjoy successes. Be honest with yourself.

Challenge

try to be courageous. Change and improve each day. Do your best and don't look back.

See learning and change as opportunities. Try new things. Consider several options. Meet

new people. Ask lots of questions. Keep track of your mental and physical health. Be

optimistic.

Studies show that people with these characteristics are winners in good times and

survivors in hard times.

Research shows that,

"... people who begin consciously to modify their inner conversations and assumptions

7
report an almost immediate improvement in their performance. Their energy increases

and things seem to go better ..."

Commitment, control and challenge help build self-esteem and promote positive thinking.

Here are some other suggestions.

7 Suggestions for Building Positive Attitudes for students.

• In every class, look for positive people to associate with.

• In every lecture, looks for one more interesting idea.

• In every chapter, find one more concept important to you.

• With every friend, explain a new idea you've just learned.

• With every teacher, ask a question.

• With yourself, keep a list of your goals, positive thoughts and actions.

• Remember, you are what you think, you feel what you want

AN EXAMPLE OF POSITIVE THINKING.

Allan applied for a new job, but as his self-esteem was low, and he considered himself as

a failure and unworthy of success, he was sure that he was not going to get the job. He

had a negative attitude towards himself, and believed that the other applicants were better

and more qualified than him. Allan manifested this attitude because he was not admitted

to most of the jobs he applied to, and consequently had negative past experience.

His mind was filled with negative thoughts and fears concerning the job for the whole

week before the job interview. He was sure he would be rejected. On the day of the

8
interview he got up late, and to his horror he discovered that the shirt he had planned to

wear was dirty, and the other one needed ironing. As it was already too late, he went out

with a wrinkled shirt.

During the interview he was tense, displayed a negative attitude, worried about his shirt,

and felt hungry because he did not have enough time to eat breakfast. All this distracted

his mind and made it difficult for him to focus on the interview. His overall behavior

made a bad impression, and consequently he materialized his fear and did not get the job.

Jim applied for the same job too, but approached the matter in a different way. He was

sure that he was going to get the job. During the week preceding the interview he often

visualized himself making a good impression and getting the job.

In the evening before the interview he prepared the clothes he was going to wear, and

went to sleep a little earlier. On day of the interview he woke up earlier than usual, and

had ample time to eat breakfast, and then to arrive to the interview before the scheduled

time.

He got the job because he made a good impression. Of course he had also the proper

qualifications for the job, but so had Allan.

What do we learn from these two stories? Is there any magic employed here? No, it is all

natural. When the attitude is positive we entertain pleasant feelings and constructive

images, and see in our mind's eye what we really want to happen. This brings brightness

to the eyes, more energy and happiness. The whole being broadcasts good will, happiness

9
and success. Even the health is affected in a beneficial way. We walk tall and the voice is

more powerful. Our body language shows the way you feel inside.

In order to create the things you want in life you must first take control of your

mind. It doesn't matter what else you do. If you don't learn to work with your mind

-- nothing else will work

SUMMARY

Positive and negative thinking are both contagious. All of us affect, in one way or

another, the people we meet. This happens instinctively and on a subconscious level,

through thoughts and feelings transference and through body language. People sense our

aura and are affected by our thoughts. Is it any wonder that we want to be around

positive persons and shun negative ones? People are more disposed to help us if we are

positive. They dislike and avoid anyone broadcasting negativity. It does not matter what

your circumstances are at the present moment. Think positively, expect only favorable

13
results and situations, and circumstances will change accordingly. It may take some time

for the changes to take place, but eventually they do. In order to turn the mind toward

the positive, inner work and training are required. Attitude and thoughts do not

change overnight.
