A Positive Mindset – Harmony in Brainland
Change needs a positive mindset enhanced by positive thinking and speaking. The subconscious mind has a problem with negative-based language; it does not understand it.
Become aware of how you talk. Listen to yourself talking and work on using mainly positive language and fewer negations.
Negations are words like no, not, can’t, don’t, won’t, shouldn’t, wouldn’t, never, none, and can’t; with other words, “Say what you want, not what you don’t want”.
Don’t say or even think, “I don’t want to be anxious”; instead, speak with conviction, “I want to be Happy, Healthy, Calm and Content”. Follow that up with an affirmation, “I am Happy, Healthy, Calm and Content, and day by day, I am getting better and better.” Then work out what you need to cause to get that effect.
While it is important to use positive language, learning how to control negative thinking is even more vital. When negative thoughts repeat on an endless loop, high levels of anxiety and even depression are not far behind.
Check your self-discipline. How strong is it? It is not enough to just read about what to do. Can you muster the self-discipline to do what is suggested and required?
Use your self-discipline and control over your mind to stop negative self-talk and thinking. Keep a check on your thoughts. You are the observer of your mind, and you have the power to stop negative thoughts. Stop negative thoughts by exchanging them with positive ones.
Trying to fight a negative thought or trying not to think about it will not work. It will only work by replacing it with a new positive thought.
You cannot not think of something. By not thinking of something, you think about it.
How not to think of something?
Exchange one thought with another. Gently fade out negative thoughts, don’t fight them, be gentle with yourself, and think of something positive, fun, exciting, productive, creative, sexy, anything to stop you from going down the slippery slope of negativity.
It’s mainly a discipline action exercise; it’s not that hard; you can do it. Please don’t give negative thoughts any energy; don’t feed the negativity; let negativity fade out and replace it with something you want, not what you don’t want.
Be friendly to your subconscious mind, and say, “Thank you for alerting me to something negative, but I am fine and like to think of something positive.”
This exercise can be very liberating and, at the same time, eye-opening. You will become aware of how many of your thoughts are negative.
This strategy, “starving the negative and troublesome aspects of your mind and focusing all your energy towards the positive,” will be a primary support structure, as it is something you can control. It is also the strategy to avoid war-like terminology.
Fighting a disease or a negative mental onslaught may sound positive, but it directs all your vital energy to the problem and little to the solution.
However, with self-care, self-help, self-evaluation and self-knowledge, we can live in peace with ourselves, supporting our healing and everything worth living for.
To aim towards the positive means focusing on constructive activities and what you love to do. It has nothing to do with seeing everything through rose-coloured glasses; always keep your objectivity.
