What is Positive Thinking?

"an inclination to put the most favorable construction upon actions and events or to anticipate the best possible outcome"

You know what thinking is... thinking and thoughts are mental forms and processes that help you shape your view of the world and the events that take place

You know what positivity is .... it is holding an optimistic view of a person, situation or event

So positive thinking will be a way to shape your way of seeing events and your world that keeps you optimistic and hopefully. Well at least that is what positive thinking means to me.

When it comes to positive thinking there is no room for the negative. When you are a positive thinker, you will always look on the good side of things, you will truly believe that even negative events have something positive to learn in most cases.

Positive thinking involves no negative thinking. Instead of thinking about what could go wrong, a positive thinker thinks about what can go right. A positive thinker is going to look for the good in things. That means they will always try to find something positive about every situation. A positive thinker is going to be able to stay upbeat in any situation. That is because they do not dwell on the negative.  They can always find a way to look at the positive in any situation.

When bad things happen, a positive thinker is not going to let themselves get down and they are not going to let the bad invade their thoughts. Instead, they are going to look for positive things and look to find the solution to the negative situation.

They also adopt a different attitude than a negative thinker. A positive thinker is going to try to stay upbeat and happy. They are going to try to stay energized and not allow themselves to get down. If they feel tired or lazy, they are going to do something to help bring them back up.

Positive thinking can be used in every aspect of life, from the little things to major things. It can be used to help you get through trying times. You can also use it to just make your average day go a little better.

A major part in being positive is to be able to turn off the negative thoughts and replace them with good thoughts.  You do this by

1. Awareness : By monitoring your negative thoughts you can get a good idea of what goes on in your head and once you are aware of how negative you are and in what circumstances you can begin to work towards changing that.
2. Challenging : Once you are aware of your negative thoughts it is time to challenge each and every one of them to discover which are just hyped up exaggerations on your part and which ones actually have some substance behind them and need to be solved.
3. Affirmations : Now that you are aware of your negative thoughts it is time to help yourself to overcome them. There are a number of ways to do that including self help audios and books. You want to create positive affirmations that will help you and you need to ensure they are in the present, specific and expressed using your emotional and all the senses you can include. Just repeating words won't help you but positive affirmations created the right way really can.

Positive thinking will allow you to avoid always going to the negative when something bad happens. It will also allow you to assume that good things will come your way and it will help you project an attitude that will help bring good things your way.

It is a great skill once mastered as it helps you turn negatives into positives. It allows you to look on the brighter side of life. Positive thinking will open your eyes and your life to a world that is brighter and better than the negative one most people dwell in. Through positive thinking, you will be able to allow yourself to start to envision your life as being positive and powerful. You will open up the door for good things to happen in your life.

Being negative is easy, it is our daily habit but being a positive thinker takes time and energy, it takes some work to first identify when we are not being positive and become aware enough of it that we can change our thinking in the moment. It involves self awareness and the willingness to examine yourself and what you do. The one thing positive thinking really isn't is easy!
