Positive Thinking for Beginners

Now don’t get me wrong, I am not saying that Positive Thinking is going to cure all your problems over night or even cure them all at all. You are not going to start thinking positively and then wake up the next day and everything is going to be good in the world. That’s wishful thinking not positive thinking. There is a big difference. Wishful thinking is that you will bump into Brad Pitt (or some other famous person) at your local shopping centre and he will take one look at you fall desperately in love and you will both live happily ever after, Wishful thinking is that you win $20 million on the lottery, buy your dream house and you live happily ever after, Wishful thinking is when you think that one magical change in your life will solve all your problems. Wishful thinking is just day dreaming, it won't achieve anything but can be fun. Positive Thinking is changing the way you think about things, changing the way you look at things, changing the way you react to things, changing how you handle things. Positive Thinking will help you achieve anything you want to achieve, (except marrying Brad Pitt and Winning the Lottery) You can change your world if you can master the art of Thinking Positive. Hopefully by the end of this book you too will have mastered or at least be on the way to mastering the art of positive thinking and you will have seen what an impact it can have on your everyday life, and seen too the impact it has on those around you, your family, your friends, your colleagues in fact you will see it have a positive impact on every one you come in to contact with and some you don’t. Once you start to see results it becomes easier to implement it in other aspects of your life, which then gives you more results, including seeing it rub off on those closest to you, watch how they become more positive just being around you. Just remember that no matter how much you may want to, you cannot change other people, you can change the way you react to them but you can't do the positive thinking for them. If they want to change they will, but you cannot do it for them. There are plenty of books about Positive Thinking and The Law of Attraction they will all tell you how you how you can change your life by changing your thoughts and how you can manifest anything you want by believing in it, and they are right, of course, but I know a lot of people find it hard to believe, I had one person tell me "it's too hard". So I wrote this book to show you how, a little positivity in your life can make a big difference, and if you make the changes suggested in this book, the law of attraction will kick in to gear naturally. So if you doubt the power of your thoughts, or think the law of attraction is too far-fetched, Welcome to Positive Thinking For Beginners. Why should we try and turn our thinking to the positive? • Happiness is a state of mind, and that state of mind begins and ends with being positive. • Positivity breeds positivity (just as negativity breeds negativity). • Life should be and can be fun. The Law of Attraction Nearly all books regarding being positive will also tell you about the law of attraction. This is the wording that made a friend of mine tell me it was too hard. The law of attraction is working whether we want to believe it or not. It affects everything we have, everything we achieve, everything we are. Which is why it is so important to live a positive life. Living, talking, behaving, being and thinking positive is the only way to bring more positives into your life. Positives attract Positives Negatives attract Negatives Which do you want more of in your life? And it all starts with our thoughts. Our thoughts determine our behaviour, the language we use, what we talk about, how we react, how we respond, what we do, where we go, what we see, what we enjoy, what and who we avoid, who we like, who we fall in love with, what we eat, what we drink, what we value. Positive Thinking or Thinking Positively will change your life for the better. The only difference between who you are and who you want to be is what you do. Firstly let me just address a couple of misconceptions regarding Positive Thinking; Positive Thinking is not: • Pretending that everything in your life/the world is good. • Not facing and dealing with the negative things life throws at us. When you get the hang of Positive Thinking you will see that it is: • Noticing, enjoying and appreciating all the good we already have in our lives. • Facing and dealing with everything in life including the negatives in a positive way. • Highly beneficial as like attract like By changing our thinking (mindset) to positive, when we are challenged by the negatives life can sometimes throw at us we will naturally focus more on the solution than on the problem, thus making the problem nothing but a memory... faster. You will see many more benefits from your change to positive thinking, in fact it's a good idea to keep a journal as you work your way through this book. Making notes on the changes you have made and the benefits you have noticed, however small either of them seem to be. As you will no doubt notice me pointing out several times in these pages - Baby steps maybe small but they will still get you where you want to be - Every small change, every attempt at change is getting you one step closer to the person you know you can be. Never give up, keep trying, believe in yourself and you will see and feel the benefits, and everyone around you will benefit too.
