Train your mind to think positive

Train your mind, you become what you think

As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he, (the Bible). Would you say that you are responsible for your thinking? Most certainly, you can train your mind to think positive.

Just listen to your self-talk, that inner dialogue you have with yourself. The ideas you give birth to and produce as decisions or actions to take regarding life's situations.

All of us talk to and listen to ourselves. Those of us who know God, will communicate with God and God will respond to us in different ways.

One such way is your conscience, that inner voice is always watching and recording everything you do. That is why you will feel guilty after you say or do something.

It is that same voice that you can train to think positive, healthy, successful, pure and beautiful thoughts. You can trian it to say wonderful things about youself and others.

Most of those persons who are happy, did not inherit happiness. First of all, material things do not make you happy for long, happiness is a state of the mind, the trained mind. You have to train your mind to think positive.

You might be amazed to know that subject like happiness, success and good health are subjects that can be studied and learnt like other subjects. How many persons do you think ever bother to find out more about these topics and study them? right, very few.

It's the way you think...!

For example, let's say you were made reduntant from your job, there are two ways to respond to this situation. One, you can start worrying about what is going to happen to you and your family who depends on you as the main bread winner.

You start asking yourself questions like, "what did I do wrong?", "why am I so bad-lucky"? "why did it have to happen to me"? "when will I, if ever, get another job"? "will anyone else hire me"? "How am I going to pay my bills and meet other financial needs"? So you dress yourself up with worry and decided to go to this "pity party" with your victim mentality.

With all these questions and worry come stress, headache, depression, frustration, blur thinking, anger, anxiety, pain and sickness. You start telling yourself all the bad things that might happen to you and your family from now on.

All of the dark possibilities are searched for and highlighted. You are now becoming helpless and hopeless, as your imagination creates a very dark future. You are now busy trying to find solutions for problems that you have created.

With more frustration setting in, because you can't see your way out of this unfortunate situation that you find yourself in, you are falling deeper in depression. You are now seeing the whole situation as totally hopeless and suicide may be the best way out.

You may now be acting in a weird, inappropriate and even violent manner. All of this started by you thinking negative and created your own future in your mind.

Now let us look at the other way you could deal with the same situation, with your mind trained to think positive. Being made redundant, you could see that as a blessing in disguise.

You could now think of ways to liberate yourself from your nine to five job and become your own boss. Now you start thinking like an entrepreneur, a business person. You are imagining yourself managining your own company with employees to deal with.

Or even better than that, you are thinking about working for yourself from home. Just imagine the idea of staying in your bed until your are finish sleeping. Just imagine finding time to eat a proper meal with your family in the morning.

Just imagine not having to get into the rush hour traffic that can be so stressful. Just think about earning what you are really worth. Do you know that on the job, we are not being paid what we are worth? We are being paid just enough to keep us from quitting!
