The Power of Negative Thinking
By Remez Sasson
For some reason, most people find it easier to think in a negative
way than in a positive manner. It seems that some effort is needed
to think positive thoughts, whereas negative thoughts come easily
and uninvited. This has much to do with education and the environment
one has been living in.
In order to understand how positive thinking works, and how to use
it efficiently, it is important to understand the power of negative
thinking.
If you have been brought up in a happy and positive atmosphere,
where people value success and self-improvement, then it will be
easier for you to think positively and expect success. If you have
been brought up under poor or difficult situations, you will probably
go on expecting difficulties and failure.
From an early age people let outside influences shape their minds.
They view everything through their predominant mental attitude.
If their thoughts are positive, that is fine, but if they are negative,
their lives and circumstances will probably mirror these thoughts.
If you believe that you are going to fail, you will unconsciously
sabotage every opportunity to succeed. If you are afraid of meeting
new people or having close relationships, you will do everything
to avoid people and relationships, and then complain that you are
lonely and nobody loves you.
Do you often think about difficulties, failure and disasters? Do
you keep thinking about the negative news you have seen on the TV
or read in the newspapers?
Do you see yourself stuck and unable to improve your life or your
health? Do you frequently think that you do not deserve happiness
or money, or that it is too difficult to get them? If you do, then
you will close your mind, see no opportunities, and behave and react
in such ways, as to repel people and opportunities. You let the
power of negative thinking rule your life.
The mind does not usually judge or examine thoughts and opinions
before accepting them. If what it hears, sees and reads is always
negative, it accepts this as the standard way of thinking and behavior.
The media constantly bombards the mind with a lot of information
about disasters, catastrophes, wars and other negative happenings.
This information sinks into the subconscious mind, and let the power
of negative thinking grow. By occupying the mind with negative thoughts
and expectations one radiate negative energy into the surrounding
world, thus creating and recreating more negativity, failures and
disasters.
The mind can be directed towards positive thinking or negative thinking.
The power of thoughts is a neutral power. The way one thinks determines
whether the results are positive and beneficial or negative and
harmful. It is the same of energy acting in different ways.
Persistent inner work can change habits of thoughts. You must be
willing to put energy and time to avoid negative thinking and pursue
positive thinking, in order to change your mental attitude.
Each time you catch yourself thinking a negative thought, change
it into a positive one.
If you catch yourself visualizing failure, switch to visualizing
success.
If you hear yourself repeating negative words, switch to positive
ones.
If you hear yourself saying, “I cannot”, say to yourself,
“I can”.
Do you repeat useless and unnecessary negative words and phrases
in your mind? Change them to positive ones.
Open your mind to positive attitude, happenings and events. Expect
them and think about them, and soon you life will change for the
better.
Decide that from today, from this very moment, you are leaving negative
thinking behind, and starting on the way towards positive thinking
and behavior. It is never too late. Soon your life will turn into
a fascinating, wonderful journey.
