Positive It
I have wrote a couple of posts in the past about thinking positive and how it effects our lives.
Now I have realized yet another way to tackle this thinking!
We face a bunch of different negative things in our daily lives, whether they are things that happen to us directly or whether its people that are just flat out negative and give you this negative vibe indirectly! Knowing that, we can let the positive thinking overtake that situation easily if you ask me. Just think of good things that make you happy, I know your going to say that’s a very nice TEMP solution. Well hear me out; the mind behaves according to what we train it to. If we train it to look at things in a negative manner, then it will handle situations in that aspect.
However, when we train our minds to think positively by changing each bad situation into a good situation, good things will happen. For instance when I’m facing a bad or negative thing, I think of my beautiful baby and right away it puts a smile on my face and I forget about the current negativity. I let my positives overtake the negatives. Believe it or not, down the road you will find yourself handling each negative situation very nicely based on your attitude!

I agree that you are correct if the negativity is of a lesser degree, but if it isn’t, then thinking of something good might not always do the trick.

Yea, it is something that we must strive of all the time. The world is full of negative people but maybe little by little we can spread the positive virus.

Mo, excellent post, I totally agree with you and I’ve actually tried this and it did work. No matter how complicated the situation was, being positive always helps make things better. Sometimes it solves the whole problem, if not, then at least it helps keep us calm which enables us to think in a mature way rather to be driven by anger or pessimism!
Loved what logtar said:”little by little we can spread the positive virus”.

I also like the analogy to a virus, whether it’s positive thoughts or negative thoughts. If you keep letting the negative thoughts grow in your head, it gets harder and harder to think positive. I’ve noticed that if you think positive everytime a negative though crosses you mind, it really changes your attitude!
