Transform Negative into Positive Thinking

by Jef Benson

The human brain never stops thinking. The problem is, for many people, the majority of those millions of thoughts that pass through the mind are negative.

Consider the effect hundreds of millions of negative thoughts have on your life. How can you feel good about yourself or achieve happiness and success when your mind is filled with negative thoughts? You can't. That is exactly why so many people go through life wondering why happiness, money, love and success eludes them.

The key to getting the things you want out of life is harnessing the power of positive thinking. Follow these guidelines to make the switch from negative to positive:

1. Watch What You Think - Pull a stakeout on your thoughts. Watch them like they are suspects and you are the detective. Don't try to apprehend them at first. Just watch and learn what pattern your thoughts follow.
2. Make the ID - Once you've spent some time monitoring your thoughts, identify which ones are negative and which are positive. You might want to keep a journal of recurring negative thoughts so you can oust them as soon as they crop up.
3. Make the Switch - Now you know which thoughts to watch for. Replace negative thoughts with positive ones as soon as they pop into your head. Don't dwell too long on the negative thought before you replace it with something positive. The longer the negative thought remains in your mind, the easier it will be for it to create a solid hold in your mindset.

External situations can have negative effects on your thinking, but only for as long as you allow them to. Whenever someone says something negative to you, or you find yourself in a negative situation, repeat positive phrases in your head until they stick.
