If we have accidentally learned some thought patterns that make us miserable in either a particular circumstance or life in general, how do we go about changing them to a more 'think positive' approach?Three main circumstances need to existe first: You must be so sick of feeling negative, miserable, etc. that you decide you really want to change; You have to see the problem of feeling negative from a new perspective; You must find or create new and appealing options. If you create for yourself the choice of a positive change, you are more likely to choose the positive option than the negative ones. You could start by asking yourself: "Do I want to experience my first day of feeling incredibly positive for no reason in particular today or tomorrow?" and "Do I want to feel positive in general or about a particular event or person?" To retune your brain to be more positive, complete this exercise: Relax and breathe deeply and as you relax, it becomes easier and easier to let your imagination play. Now imagine another you, standing in front of you, this is the most wonderfully positive, feeling good for no reason at all, you, that you can possibly imagine - your authentic positive self. Take some time to feel totally happy with the positive you, notice the way the positive you stands, smiles, breathes, talks, moves. Notice how positivity simply radiates like shimmering light from the positive you, notice how the positive you handles problems and achieves goals. Now turn the positive you around and step into and integrate with your authentic positive self. See through the eyes of your positive self, hear through the ears of your positive self and feel how great feeling positive feels. Spend some time daydreaming about how your life will improve as you life more and more as your positive authentic self. Many people find it beneficial to complete the exercise first thing on a morning before getting up or last thing at night (do not try the exercise whilst driving or operating machinery). You can use this exercise as part of your general development or when you need an extra shot of that 'think positive' attitude.Share your positive thoughts with the world !
