Tip #1 - Positive thinking

Today's tip is simple and quick (and all these tips will be).

It is so easy to be negative...TOO easy in fact so here's a way to change your thinking and if you use this you can start to look forward and use your imagination to expand on the possiblilities that exist. This will increase your hope that your life can and WILL improve.

So here it is:

Ask the question "What if...?"

What if ....he agrees?
            ...it works?
            ...it is easier than I think?
            ...I succeed at this?
            ...find an answer?

Ok, got the picture?

Instead of anticipating failure you'll start to imagine what can go right and what that would mean, spend time answering the question "What if ?" in your head and seeing and feeling the positive consequences when things do work out right....

The doubts of Today..

I've often said that great quotes can inspire you to make positive changes in your life. Here's a wonderful quote I read today:

"The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be the doubts of today"

- Franklin J. Roosevelt

Isn't that so true? I'd like to ask you a question:

How can you create something good in your life if you are filled with doubts?

It's impossible. So if you want to bring more good things into your life before you do anything else - remove the doubts. Start believing and it will happen.

Doubts are negative thoughts and they bring more negative thoughts. When you focus on reasons for failure you will cause failure. Positive thoughts help you to create a better future but how can you remove your doubts?

This is where you may get stuck. You realize the problem but don't know how to solve it. In the next few days I'll post again with steps you can take to remove your doubts and start believing in the power you have to succeed.

Look forward to 2009

Just like you I sometimes find it very difficult to be positive. The end of the year is a time when people look back over the last 12 months. The only point to looking back is to draw lessons and use them to improve your present.

For many people at this time of year, looking back means disappointment and the sense that time is passing and you still haven't achieved what you intended to. This negative mindset is responsible for so much depression at this time of year. Once again I have been reminded in my own life of the value of positive thinking...

I have just returned from a five day trip to the mountains where I started learning to snowboard. The first few days I felt tired and started to ache everywhere. My progress was very slow and I felt like giving up. I continued to read the secret which is a book I took with me on my holiday. The next time I went out I replaced my negative thinking with positive thinking and everything changed! I told myself that I was still young, that my muscles were strong and that I can do this. That day I managed to get the hang of snowboarding. The following day I told myself that I was going to be a huge success with my efforts to master this sport and that's exactly what happened. The tiredness left me and instead I was filled with energy and easily skated down the piste.

What I wish for you in 2009 is that you can find success through positive thinking. Please read some of the articles that I have written about how to stop thinking negatively:

Stop thinking the worst

The law of attraction

Negative thoughts are very very powerful and most of thoughts we have during the day happen automatically and subconsciously. It is therefore very difficult to change these to positive thoughts. What I suggest is to be aware of when you are having negative thoughts and don't stress out, either correct this to a positive or add two positive thoughts in order to cancel out the negative thought.

I wish you a prosperous, successful and happy new year!
