Confessions Of A Negative Mind

November 7, 2009 by confidencebooster

A negative mind is as a result of losing control of your thoughts. There are forces all around you channelling your uncontrolled thoughts in their direction. A negative mind sets you back in so many ways and progress is often slow or at times non existent. With a negative mind you think; I can not afford it, it is out of reach, I will never be rich, no one likes me, she is out of my league.  I could go on; you know what you are thinking! There is a battle going in your mind and you need to win it!

Deep embedded in your mind there are beliefs you may not be aware of that are driving your life. If you look closely at yourself and the life decisions that you have made through the years you can come to a conclusion on how your mind works.  For example your marriage and your cycle of friends is a good indicator. If the people you looked up to let you down during your childhood and you have never forgiven yourself and them; chances are you will attract a partner with the same characters as those you are trying to get away from. Because you are concentrating on what these people or a people treat you rather than how you would have liked to be treated, you are attracting negativity.

With a negative mind acceptance of self and self power is seen as selfish or arrogant. A negative mind drives your thinking to no or little self worth; you think I do not believe I deserve mega success. You are convinced it has to be a struggle to manifest anything. You project success, happiness, joy and riches to other people by thinking they are more gifted or lucky and therefore you should not try.

Every day we are faced by so many choices, you make a choice depending on your beliefs, reality and dreams. These choices are limited by the way you think. A negative mind will evolve in your choices for years until you choose to change it. I always look at these choices as doors in front of me not knowing what is on the other side.  Getting in is always the easy part whether it is a positive or negative choice but exiting may take years. Using the power of your mind will determine how long you take to overcome any challenges in your life.

The subject of how our minds work is a huge one. There is a lot written on how to control a negative mind but often no emphasis is put on the causes. If you try to cure something without knowing its origins, you often get no where. As the saying goes ‘Prevention is better than cure’. Knowing the causes of a negative mind will no doubt make prevention the goal. To find these causes, often means facing up to yourself which can be challenging but rewarding.

A negative mind affects all aspects of a life and efforts should be made to take control or prevent it. In extreme circumstance it may lead to debilitating illnesses and suicide. There is a story on our free video of someone who thought themselves to death. Crikey! That’s not a joke! Find out more by visiting: www.innermagnet.com.

Writing on the subject is a hobby I took up recently after experiencing the effects of uncontrolled thoughts. I am still learning and I would love a lot of people to join me on this journey. Find me at: www.innermagnet.com

The Power Of A Staying Positive Mindset

October 29, 2009 by confidencebooster

A staying positive mindset is the driving force of your life. The way you think determines where you are today and where you were yesterday. Take control of your mind and change your reality today, stay positive at every opportunity. Have you ever wondered why some people are happy despite what is going on around them? They choose their reality through staying positive. Pity parties manifest self pity, feeling low, low self esteem and a lot worse. Staying positive does not hurt; when you smile you get a smile. What are you manifesting in your precious life today? Think about what you are thinking.

Start by setting small goals: Have something to look forward to, if you set small goals that you focus your energy on every day you will have hope in these goals. This is so important because it makes your life full. The energy you put in positive goals makes you manifest your needs and live a life you desire. Follow that dream you always thought was out of reach. Change your thinking from being out of reach to in reach by staying positive. Smell it, touch it, and keep expecting it in you daily meditation to keep it alive.

Try filling someone else’s needs: It is always good to be on the look out for people who need a service, a favour or a simple aid. For example on a morning commute to work you find a mother struggling with a pram, you pass her without offering help. How does that make you feel? If you feel nothing then you need to do a lot of work on yourself because as you start manifesting your needs in abundance, it is only sustainable if you give a share to charity, church or any other worthy cause of your choice. Giving does not only refer to monetary terms, it can be time or a service. Staying positive makes filling other people’s needs easier.

Be grateful for what you have got: It really does not matter what is going on in your life now, just be grateful. When you try to manifest more without acknowledging how what you have has impacted your life in a positive way; you will not get any where. Be grateful for life, food, shelter, children and all that is around you. Not all of it will make you happy but take negative ones as challenges that will be solved by staying positive.

Think about who your friends are: Most of us would have heard about the law of attraction, you will notice that your circle of friends has similar life conditions. If you are trying to move away by thinking positively, they will unconsciously pull you back because they have been conditioned in that way. They do not intend harm; it is a projection of their reality and dreams.  It is the same with angry, violent unpleasant people. That is their reality because they have lost control of the mind. Staying positive will require a new circle of friends.

Deal with negative past events: Have you ever noticed how emotions can feel so raw even after a long period of time! Now imagine the energy channelled in these emotions to make them feel so real, painful and sometimes causing the victim mental handicap. This then forms your reality, if someone you trusted abused you; you in turn decide never to trust and hence attracting the same sort of people because you are subconsciously thinking about it, giving it energy, fuelling it. The result, vicious circles of abusive relationships over and over until you finally decide to master your mind by staying positive.

Start with positive notes that affirm that you are worthy of feeling confident, you are beautiful. The past is no longer in control; you are! Dress in a way that makes you feel emotionally positive. If you live around negative people, keep your thoughts to yourself or they will distract your thinking patterns hence back to negative. At the first staying positive will be hard work but it will worth it.

If you are constantly bombarded by negative thinking patterns then destroying them by staying positive is a good start. You will find that you are so weary of what other people think about you and hence luck of confidence.

7 Ways of Improving Positive Thinking

October 14, 2009 by confidencebooster

The ability to keep cool in the heat of the moment is one of the most useful skills an individual can have. Individuals that practice positive thinking have resilience to stressful events tend to become the most successful in business, personal relationships and careers. Positive thinking people enjoy good mental health, for their mind is sufficiently equipped to deal with the stress we all naturally encounter. A common perception of someone who is resilient is being unemotional and detached. Of course, as we shall see, there is a hell of a lot more to thinking positively and resilient than just being the ‘strong silent ‘type.
1. Master your mind to the point where they have conquered their impulses. Positive thinking and resilient people are good at regulating their emotions. They tend to stay calm, rather than react violently with tears, anger or fear. Learn how to keep yourself physically calm and you will be better equipped to cope.
2. Learn how to control your physical reaction to an event. There are loads of techniques out there for controlling your breathing and heart rate. You may also want to consider doing something more advanced like Yoga or Tai Chi. These forms of exercise are brilliant for developing mastery over the physical condition. However, this is not essential for there are many other resources available on the internet or library that can teach you about breathing techniques.
For many people, hardship is regarded as a personal issue. Anxiety, stress and impulsive behaviours often stem from an inability to cope with the difficulties of life.
3. Don’t see yourselves as victim and dwell on an issue, problem solve – working out what you need to do now to get over what’s happened to them.
4. Talk to people and think about practical steps, such as finding a support group. Sympathy feels good, and sometimes it’s tempting to be a victim and tell people how bad your troubles are but problem solving will be more constructive in the long run.
5. Don’t feel that bad events or a dreadful childhood have to condemn you to a life of problems. Many people survive troubled families. The majority of adult children of alcoholics do not repeat their parents’ drinking patterns, and the same is true of adults who have survived families troubled by mental illness, chronic marital problems, racial discrimination and poverty. Some people naturally rebound from knock-backs with their self-esteem intact. If you need help doing this now you’re an adult, talking to a therapist can help.
If you have gone through some personal difficulty, be proud of the fact that you are still standing; rather than getting upset about the injustice of the event
6. Something bad happened – but you survived. Try to find things about what you did or how you responded that you can be proud of, find your strengths, and build self-esteem from the achievement.
7. It is important to distinguish between feeling low and suffering from clinical depression. Feeling low or down is something we all experience from time to time. It’s a common response to sad or difficult events and situations. Depression is when these feelings are persistent or so strong that they prevent you from doing the things you would normally do.
Depression is often an illness. If you’re depressed, the usual feelings of sadness that we all experience temporarily remain for weeks, months and years. They can be so intense that daily life is affected. You can’t work normally, you don’t want to be with your family and friends, and you stop enjoying the things you usually do.
If you’re depressed, you may feel worthless, hopeless and constantly tired. In most cases, if you have milder depression, you can probably carry on but will find everyday tasks difficult. If you have severe depression, you may find your feelings so unbearable that you start thinking about suicide.
If you’ve had depression and/or anxiety in the past, even if they weren’t formally diagnosed, seek help immediately. You’re more likely to have an episode of depression if you’ve had one before.
There is no other way of improving positive thinking other than you as an individual making a choice to take steps and move forward. What you are thinking is not visible to your friends and family and therefore hard for them to help. visit www.innermagnet.com for more information.
