Is Being Positive Damaging Your Brain?

July 22nd, 2010

Well is it?, how do you feel?, you wake up each morning and feel that positive energy rushing through your body, nothing can stop you from achieving your goals today, until, the boss says NO, your stuck in traffic and miss your appointment, you didn’t get that promotion but I was the best and the most positive of all the candidates.

How to Correct Negative Thinking

May 7th, 2010

How to Correct Negative Thinking

One of the biggest benefits about personal development comes from  learning techniques that identify faults in our reasoning . Thinking errors are slips in our thinking that everyone makes from time to time. Thinking errors can lead us to get the wrong end of the stick, to over dramatise a situation, to blow things way out of proportion, or distort the facts. However, if we are aware this happens, we have a chance to correct this line of reasoning.

To err on the side of caution is a definite human behavioural characteristic. By understanding the most common, typical thinking errors we experience as human being, we can identify and respond to them in a proactive fashion.
 
Thoughs, attitudes and beliefs all play a major role in shaping the framework to our thinking patterns. In addition, they are also have a big effect on the way we interpret the world around us and how we feel. So, if you are feeling really low, chances are you are thinking in a negative way all the time; even though this may not be your intention.
One of the most common errors of thought is catastrophizing, which means taking a small event and imagining it to be far worse than it actually is, this can lead to many unfortunate people misinterpreting a simple mistake into a massive event. Alternatively, it can involve blowing an unexplained event into to a massive negative event.
 
We can stop making mountains out of molehills by recognising catastrophic thinking for what it is – just thoughts. When you start thinking in this way, you can stop yourself by putting things into perspective. If, for example, you get het up at the thought of doing something a little embarrassing, remind yourself that it is just a little embarrassing not the end of the world! Putting things into perspective means to consider less terrifying explanations for things. What other reasons are there that might explain something other than the worst case scenario?  You should weigh up all existing evidence before jumping to hasty conclusions. Try to focus on what you can do to cope with the situation instead of thinking wildly about stuff.

Another common mode of faulty thinking is the all-or-nothing   approach some people take to life. If you view the world only in black and white terms  you are unable to see any of the grey area, which can lead to extreme emotions and behaviour. It is not sensible to think you can only ever love or hate something or something is either perfect or a disaster. To correct this type of thinking, we need to start thinking in degrees instead of extremes. You need to realise that you cannot get through life without making mistakes.
All or nothing thinking can destroy goal-orientated thinking, so cut it out! All or nothing thinking can lead us into giving up on something because are standards are set unrealistically high to begin with. Remember that nothing in life is that cut and dry.

Predicting negative events is a common error made by individuals who think too much about things. A lot of people make predictions of bad things happening to them for no rational reason what so ever. The downside to this is that it can lead to people becoming timid and risk averse.  Learning to live experimentally by taking the odd calculated risk is what makes keeps life interesting. A lot of the reasons behind this type of thinking stem from the faulty belief that because something bad happened once it will happen again. Resist the temptation to think in this way by reminding yourself that not all situations are exactly the same.

When it comes to dealing with people, a lot of us suddenly become experts on mind reading. The tendency here is to presume that you know people better than they know themselves. This pattern of thinking tends to mean that people start becoming paranoid about what someone is thinking about them all the time.

You can never know with  complete certainty what someone is thinking , so stand back from any negative assumptions you have formed. Think of alternative reasons for what you are seeing; consider that your assumptions may be wrong; get more information about a situation before you act and avoid making a hasty judgment.

Are You Frustrated The Law of Attraction is Not Working For You Especially in the Area of Attracting Money?

March 22nd, 2010

I don’t know about you, but I seem to get the feeling that people are generally frustrated the Law of Attraction is not working consistently for them, ESPECIALLY in the area of wealth.

Sure, people have used the Law of Attraction to help them in many areas of life, from love and relationships to career to health. But wealth seems to be the area of priority for most people, and ironically, it also seems to be the area most people find least success in. It almost feels like there’s a correlation…

I’m curious to see if I’ve somehow hit the nail on the head with this observed correlation, so I’ll be interested to know on a scale of 1-10, how much focus have you put into expanding your wealth by using the Law of Attraction? And, on a scale of 1-10, how successful have you been with the Law of Attraction to attract money into your life?

Just let me know in the comments. Cheers.

Do You Have The Right Mind Set?

March 16th, 2010

Why is it some people seem to succeed while others seem to struggle? Well I think I can give you the answer, whatever you do in life or want to achieve you must, and I’ll repeat that, You Must, have the right mind set.

You know it’s really not that difficult to get and maintain the right mind set. I know the following is going to have you groaning and rushing for you mouse, But Wait..think for a while, you know in your heart of hearts its true, You must start thinking in a positive way, and set positive goals. No one but no one likes to write down goals, but I believe if you set your long term goals and then break them down into small actionable items ones that you can achieve whilst working towards your ultimate goal you’ll feel better and will be taking action and achieving.

You could set your weekly and monthly goals and then you break them down into daily ones, write them down just short bullet points on stick ups and stick them around the house, this will keep your mind on the right track as you see them.

Don’t give up, plan your day, your week, your month, your year, why not, I bet right now you’ve planned your holiday or made plans for a birthday party so why not your life. You know what, it took Thomas Edison 10,000 attempts to produce the light bulb.. now if that doesn’t teach you to keep on trying take action and you Will succeed.

The thoughts that we think and the actions we take will dictate our lives for either better or worse, the thoughts we think the images we visualize and the actions we take are the three things that affect our lives.

Positive thoughts in……..Positive results out.               Negative thoughts in……..Negative results out.

Try it I bet after a while it becomes second nature, but and there’s a big BUT, go back to thinking negatively and your life will be filled with… well you work it out :-)

How to Become More Adaptive

December 2nd, 2009

Today I want to talk about the concept of change. And how important it is in your personal growth goals. It’s in the nature of human beings to be ever-changing people. Even if you sat down today and drew a list of all the things you are and know it’ll be wrong by tomorrow. This is because each day you change a little, age very slightly and gather new experiences.

Why then are so many people frightened by the idea of change?  Why are so many of us nostalgic for the past?  Perhaps one of the reasons for this is due to a fear of the unknown? In order to get over any fears you might have about change, you need to consider yourself to be a work in progress. Every skill you acquire or interest you develop produces a change within you. The best way to react in this situation is to hold a flexible attitude to life. Even if you are experiencing something negative, something challenging, or something mundane, you will develop and grow accordingly.

However, there are always going to be something’s you can’t change about yourself. Sometimes you can improve a little, but sometimes you can’t change at all. If you are a fully grown adult and five feet tall, you are unlikely to make yourself 6 foot through determination to change alone. Keep your goals realistic by recognising in which areas you can become more adaptive and reflexive. Living happily is about accepting your limitations without putting yourself down for them. Part of the process of change is to make mistakes. Human beings are far from being infallible, Part of the process of learning as human being is to make mistakes and learn from them. The more we learn from our mistakes the more we learn about who we are as people. Whatever doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger. It is essential that we become more forgiving of ourselves if we want to remain adaptive.

 Becoming hung up over the past will only serve to make us less resilient in the face of trouble. Incorporating self-accepting beliefs into your life can really make a difference in your life. A very good reason why they are so helpful is because the encourage correction not admonishment. When you have self-accepting beliefs you become encouraged to address shortcomings without being negative about them. When problems occur or you behave poorly, you can experience appropriate and proportionate negative emotions. In general, people are better problem solvers when they are not emotionally distressed! Do you know anyone who is entirely perfect?

If you have only conditional self-belief, you believe that you stop being worthwhile if you fail to meet a very narrow set of conditions. Placing extreme restrictions on yourself will be counterproductive in the end. It is far better to be honest and openminded. Remember, just because you prefer to behave in a certain way doesn’t mean you that you must behave in a certain way. Nor, does your failure to act in that way make you somehow inferior. Instead, this ‘failure’ supports the idea that you’re a fallible human capable of behaving in differing ways at various times. In essence, failure is sign of your uniqueness as a human being. Learn the lesson from it and move on.

You should become more than a product of success and failure, for being adaptive means loving learning. Becoming comfortable with yourself is essential for adapting to change and countering the negative aspects of life. You need to be able to forgive yourself for the mistakes you make in your life as part of the process of benefiting from change. Learn to judge not from your mistakes, but from your triumphs. After all isn’t a mistake just a side effect of learning? It is through this process that you become a vibrant and unique individual. Taking change seriously does not mean you have to take yourself too seriously though. Accepting your shortcomings, and learning to laugh at yourself, will do you far more good than dwelling on the past. However, do not fall in to the trap of thinking you are who you are and that’s the end of it ; if you overstep the mark in your behaviour, then you cannot just accept that and move on.

Becoming more adaptive is a process of both a willingness and acceptance of embracing change. Your Positive Mind

The Power of Positive Thought

October 19th, 2009

 A positive frame of mind is important for so many reasons. Positive thinking is proven to enhance performance in productivity and quality.

We tend to think more creatively and perform better when we are feeling positive and well.  When you are on top form, your confidence levels will go through the roof and this can only help you in your work and personal life. If you can sustain yourself with regular challenges and honest self appraisal, the benefits are enormous.
Fear induces us to put the brakes on; to stop thinking in a productive way.  Fear of poverty, of losing face, of being proved wrong hold us back from taking part in active decision making. As our judgement becomes clouded with negative thinking, we become timid in the face of adversity. Opportunity becomes redefined as an impossible challenge and we end up standing still whilst the rest of the world passes us by.

Negative emotions are emotions such as anger, fear, anxiety, jealousy regret, sadness. These emotions are capable of not only having a powerful, unwanted effect on you physically, but also of having a significant impact the way you conduct your life. Negative emotions can engrain habits of limiting decision making.
One of the benefits of personal development is that it can encourage all the healthy parts of you to grow and the less savoury parts to whither on the vine.  It can improve our general well being and make us more harmonious inside. All of our emotional processes, attitudes, values, our beliefs and motivations are interconnected.

If life was easy then we would have nothing to be motivated for. That is why by bringing in other challenges and goals – be it learning another language or taking up a new creative hobby – you can develop a highly disciplined mind that will assist you in many other areas of life. Maintaining confidence and motivation is the secret to long term success. However, long term success is achieved from short term goals! What this means is through setting smaller goals and then rewarding yourself for achieving them on a regular basis.

Thinking well is being well. There are only a minority of people who achieve success without having any belief in them self or in what they are doing. Be proud of the positive steps you have decided to take in asserting control over your life

Think well of yourself. Change negative self-talk to positive self-encouragement. Give yourself the same consideration you would give a cherished friend. Learn to become your own cheer leader instead of your own worst critic. Once you have banished these negative thoughts, you should turn your attention towards coming up with an action plan. This plan will form the bedrock of your positive state of mind. You can take this even further by putting reward days into the planner to act as an extra bit of motivation. By breaking your routine down into a series of short term goals you will have more fun and experience a greater sense of accomplishment along the way. Of course this will only work if you are honest and open with yourself. Your journal should never lie otherwise you are only telling lies to yourself and defeating the object of your goal.  

Your plan should be customised according to your own personal set of requirements and informed judgement. The effects of this are that you will be proving to yourself that you can take control of your own destiny. With a clear structure in place, you will never lose focus of the task in hand. This will help to avoid the feelings of helplessness and submissiveness that can happen to people who feel like they are not in control of a situation.
