Mind Power - Happiness With Positive Thinking Tips

By Joel Chue

Being a negative thinker is very unhealthy as it lowers your self-esteem and bad for your morale. It drains your energy rapidly and causes you to lose focus. To stop being a negative thinker, you have to change your thoughts pattern.

1. The first tip to being positive is to look after your body and mind. To ensure that you are in a good shape, eat well, exercise regularly, sleep well and spend time with your family. A relaxed and healthy body is a natural attractant for positive energy.

2. Reject and delete any negative thoughts that flashed through your mind. Researchers found out that an average person has about 60 000 thoughts being flashed through his mind on a single day. Why should anyone cling onto a negative thought? Make a conscious decision, and do your best to rid of any negative thoughts.

3. Hug your loved ones. By hugging, it increases your self-esteem. It makes you feel comfortable and loved. Move past a cold and sturdy handshake, and hug someone you really love and care for.

4. Make sure that you surround yourself with happy, cheerful people. Avoid friends who think poorly of themselves. This way your mind will always pick up positive vibes.

5. On a piece of paper, write down all the things that you are happy and grateful for. They can be your friends, your colleagues and your family. After you are done with the writing, paste the list somewhere it is conspicuous so that you can see it everyday. This will remind you of all the things you are grateful for and not take the things you have now for granted. Most importantly, it keeps you happy too.

6. Get out of the habit of fixing labels to people and situations. Don't say "I always knew it" "I always said so" "She never cared for me" "You have always used me" , etc. Such negative thoughts put you on a negative footing. They also lower your self-esteem.

7. Do not ever be afraid to speak up. You will never gain confidence if you do. You do not need to bother what others might view you as if you speak up as you are living your own life, not others. Opportunities may slip away if you remain silent.

8. Don't think of the negative stuff when something happened. When your boss asks for you, don't think of him reprimanding you or giving you a sack. Life is unpredictable; he may want to give you a raise in salary for your excellent performance.

9. Extend a helping hand to those in need. You can read a story to your neighbor's mother who is crippled and can't move; or you may go out and trim the garden of an orphanage on a weekend you are free. You will find that these small gestures have a wonderful way of generating positive energy. They make you feel warm, energetic and wanted.

10. There may be times when you find it impossible to get rid of negative thoughts. In such situations you should go out of your house for a walk or a jog. You can even go to the gym and do some light exercises. Such activity takes your mind off the negative thoughts.

If you follow these steps, you will find that your mind starts rejecting negative thoughts on its own.

Positive Mind is Powerful

By Clement Fernando

Positive mind is the power in every individual.

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.

"A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes." Gandhi

No one can blame others for what he/she is. You are in control of your success or failure. You control your situations if you control your emotions. When you lose control of you emotions , you lost control of your situations. We should not be led by our emotions. There is difference between your head and heart. Head helps you to think of reality and heart produces emotions. If you obey your heart always, you will make many wrong decisions because you yield to emotions which will vanish soon.

You have to become the master of your feelings. It is not an easy process. It requires practice and self control.

Winston Churchill said, "A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty".

People, who complain about everything around themselves, never become winners. Complainers are sorrowful people. They have the notorious ability to make everyone feel miserable.

Don't look around and compare yourself with others.

"Instead of thinking about what you're missing, try thinking about what you have that everyone else is missing."

Failing to acknowledge the good things God has given you makes you a loser. If you list out all blessings you have and thank God, you shall live a happier and more productive life.

Confess positive words. Make it a habit. 'I can, I shall, I will' is the mantra for you success.

When negative thoughts storm your mind, sit alone and fight against them. Negative thoughts are so powerful that they creep into our minds easily. You don't need an effort to create negative thoughts. Replace each negative thought by positive thought.

Stop confessing negatively;

I am timid
There is no more hope
I don't think I am a better person
This is a bad country
My family sucks!
People are ungrateful these days

Spread happiness wherever you go. Become a messenger of happy news. Speak encouraging words with others. Always tell disappointed people that there is a better way for them.

Always start your work with clear vision and expected outcome. Have a definite plan. Imagine the result you want to reach.

Read books that can build your personality and self confidence. Spend time in reading religious books that lead you to good thinking and moral enhancement.

Having fellowship with positive minded people will surely change your life. Select friends carefully. If someone's presence affects your personal and family life negatively, don't hesitate to sever the relationship.

Spend quality time with your spouse and children. If you are happy with your family, everything else will fall in place.

Quit drinking and smoking. Say no to pornography. People, who are addicted to pornography, are not happy people. Accept your failures and ponder over the mistakes you have made. Humble yourself.

Forgive yourself. Look for a new beginning. Start again. Your falls aren't your end. Whenever you fall, get up and try again.

A haughty heart can learn nothing.

Being positive makes you a real winner and the happiest person in the world.
