Positives of negative thoughts.

 

SHARED THOUGHTS......20.10.12.
============================

 

Some of the books that influenced me in early days, were Norman Vincent Peale’s The Power of Positive Thinking, the “How to…” series from Dale Carnegie, Desmond Hill’s Law of Success, et al.

 

Positive thinking is perhaps the most widely written subject; but nowhere is much thought given to the ‘harmlessness’ of negative thinking. Not all are endowed with the gift of thinking positive all the time and be able to ward off all shades of negative thoughts. Sometimes negative thoughts are just there, no matter what. I read somewhere, that if a person can be just conscience that the thoughts are negative, then, that is good enough of a thought, sans the effects of negativity. 

 

Negative thinking is also a very powerful tool in risk analysis. The jargon there is a conscience effort to think of the “worst case scenario”. Thus, as long as one is conscience of the thoughts being negative, one is to a great extent free of the ills accompanying negative thoughts.

 

The entire water in the ocean does not sink the ship. It is only when the water gets in, then the ship sinks. All negative thoughts or negative energy does not do any damage to ourselves, but it is only when it gets in, does the damage start to happen.

 

I am not worried just because some negative thoughts are nagging me sometimes. I am aware that they are negative thoughts and must be dealt with accordingly. I need to just dismiss the thoughts as they come and feel happy, that I have not allowed it to “get in” my persona.

I think this is the key to dealing with Negative thinking.

===========================================================

Negative thinking is relevant. It is a fallacy to think you should “Always Think positive” or that you should “Never Think Negative” because of the idea that if you think negative then negative things will happen to you. This will only cause you to become more timid, fearful and an emotional wreck. What you resist persists.   The best way to deal with negative thinking is to think positively about it. Accept and be aware that you are allowing the presence of negative thoughts, and you will no longer feel so bad about them. There is nothing wrong with negative thoughts. When you know what you do not want, it helps you get clear of what you do want. So treat negative thoughts positively and you will feel more positive. The true way to harmonious thinking is to be natural about it. When you have negative feelings because of certain situations, do not think “I should not be feeling this way.” It won’t work, and when you attempt to override these feelings with positive ones, you are not acting naturally and that is why you continue to experience much resistance. You should think “This is exactly how I should be feeling.” Accept how you feel and then you’ll feel better. Give vent to your negative emotion when needed and rightfully so. Then you’ll feel relief, and relief is the key to removing resistance and allowing your vibrational state to shift.   Magic is the act of causing change in accordance with will. Use your feeling and desire to direct your will and energy towards the target with the intent of the change that you want to happen. Only when you accept and use the negative can you move on to a more positive state.     Most of us are familiar with psychiatry, counselling,  psychology, and other mental health services. The methods used are standard. Most professionals prod the patient into expressing repressed feelings- anger, hatred, envy, resentment and related emotions, including repressed sexuality and sexual feelings.   Acknowledging these repressed emotions sheds new light on the origins of serious hang-ups, neuroses, compulsions/obsessions and other serious mental health disorders. Many physical ailments are brought about by repressed emotions. Some of these end in death. These have a very detrimental effect upon one’s soul and spiritual being as well.

Pack the day with plans, hope and trust.   ============================================================ The other side, that we are exposed to always, On positive thinking.     Positive thoughts are those thoughts which give us and others the experience of our original virtues like peace, love, bliss, happiness, etc. They enable you to accumulate inner strength and equip you to be constructive. Positive thoughts are always beneficial in all circumstances, without trapping you in the external appearance of a situation.  Thinking positively does not mean ignoring the reality of your world and living in a fantasy or longing to be another person. For example, if you were to repeat over and over again, "I am well, am well," when you were ill, this is not what we mean by positive thinking. Thinking positively involves looking at problems and recognizing reality,  but at the same time being able to find solutions without becoming  obsessed or confused. This often requires tolerance, patience and  common sense. A person who thinks positively is aware of the weaknesses of others,  but even then will direct their attention towards their positive  characteristics. Positive thoughts make you happy and as a result your expectations of  others decrease. This does not mean that they do not matter to you, but  that you no longer demand love, respect, recognition, or even calm,  from them, and it makes your relationships that much easier. This is  the best way to create long-lasting and harmonious relationships. When  you have inner happiness, you have the strength to accept other people  as they are without wanting them to be different. This acceptance  produces more peaceful relationships. With the positive attitude you  create, you can offer yourself to other people just the way you are, with  your virtues and limitations, without pretense. Your body also benefits greatly, since when you have a balanced,  harmonious mind you are less susceptible to illnesses. A person who  has many useless thoughts will often feel very tired because they are  spending their energy in creating thousands of unnecessary and  inefficient thoughts. Your mind is strengthened and healed by being nourished with positive  thoughts. A healthy mind is the basis of a balanced personality.    Thank you, Jimmy.

Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become your character.
Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.
