Nip Negative Thinking In The Bud

Thoughts are powerful things. How many people realize how powerful they really are? Where do we get our negative thinking and how can we reverse it?

Where do we get our negative thinking? If we really want to analyze ourselves, most of our negative thinking was programmed in our minds when we were children. It could have come from a number of sources. Family, school, church, and even that beloved TV. Yes, I know what you are thinking, the TV? Yes, and especially if you are watching the news or something horrible before you go to bed. Whether you realize it or not this plants negative seeds in your mind.

It is a wonder that we turned out as well as we did. When I was growing up it was the norm to be told "you will never amount to anything" or "you will never accomplish that, you are not smart enough" or "you will never attract a worthy mate, you are not good enough." The list goes on. Whatever your source is, keep in mind that we don't want to blame them. In most cases, these seeds were planted generations ago, and has been handed down. The good news is; these negative thoughts can be reversed, and here are a few suggestions to help.

First, erase the words "impossible" and "I can't" from your vocabulary.

Start repeating to yourself that you can and that it is possible, and "I will." This is the most important decision you can ever make. Your whole future depends on it. Change your thoughts and you instantly change conditions around you.

Picture yourself wrapping up all your negative thoughts about yourself and throwing them off a bridge.

You must get out from under these negative thoughts. You can't be yourself, and it is impossible to make the right impression on others and to attract good things to you when you are carrying around negative garbage. You must gain emotional control.

You can do this by freeing your consciousness of feelings of resentment, antagonism, hate, and like emotions toward others. These kind of thoughts are keeping you from thinking straight,and holding you back from progress. You must learn how to release the hold that past mistakes, now stored in your consciousness, have upon you.
