How do Positive Affirmations Work?

There happen to be some people in one’s neighborhood, who are considered very lucky.  Everything is going well with them; they have a successful career, not many domestic problems, and everything they seemed to touch like King Midas seems to turn into gold.  If a study of the modus operandi of such successful people, is done, one will notice that they happen to be optimistic; they don’t have the inclination to sit down upon their posteriors and wail about something not going according to their expectations, wishes and desires and this is going to be the reason for their whining and complaining for the rest of their life.  

Yes, such negative thinkers happen to be very common, and they would rather complain than try to change the situation to get a more positive outcome.  On the other hand, positive thinkers happen to be looking at the half glass and finding ways of adding sugar and lemon in their idea of — if life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

Negative Thinking as an Easy Way Out

It is a well-known fact that a person who indulges in negative thinking, has decided that this happens to be the easiest way out of making any effort, because he is not capable of doing such a thing, and it is better not to start any action because he is not going to accomplish it.  That person has managed to persuade himself that he’s not physically and mentally and genetically capable of exerting himself to achieve or complete that action, and that is the reason why he would rather whine than try to do something constructive.

A self indulgent person is quite capable of accepting the fact that it is not possible for him to lose any weight, he was born fat, he spent his childhood and youth as a chubby person, and it is quite impossible for him to lose just this tiny bit of weight, he is going to tell you smugly, as he stuffs his face with pastries.  This sort of negative thinking clearly shows a desire that he has no intention of changing the status quo, and he does not have the mental, moral, and physical strength to change it.

Eliminating Negative Thinking through Positive Thinking

On the other hand, there happens to be a mental exercise which is known as positive thinking.  It happens to be based upon positive thoughts like I can, I will, I must, to affirm the belief that one is capable of doing something.  Positive thinking does not need to be a very serious affair.  It can be everything from thinking positive in a matter of “I can, I am, going to stop biting my nails, I can do it.” while backing up this positive affirmation by putting up posters of beautiful hands in one’s room, and painting his or her nails with bitter nail Polish.  

One of the most frivolous aspects of positive thinking happens to be one of the sweater girl lines, very popular with the ladies in the 60s and 70s.  It goes some what like this — I must I must develop my bust, the bigger the better the tighter the sweater, the better the boys will like it – chanted while  the ladies exercised.  They did not know that this was a sort of positive thinking mantra, in which they had already made their intentions known to their subconscious, and they were doing something positive to make sure that the status quo was changed, in the shape of physical exercise.

Two Main Points of Positive Thinking

So here are two positive points, which happen to be the be all and end all of positive thinking

Positive affirmations happen to be the declaration of one’s intentions to his subconscious, which is going to accept the fact that that person have made up his mind to do something and who is going to do his very best, mentally and physically to achieve that state of success

Positive affirmations have also told the infinity, that “God helps those who help themselves,” and one has begun his invention of helping himself to whatever plan, he has thought out in a positive way.  So all a person needs to remember is that positive affirmations are not going to work if he keeps on chanting long affirmations, twenty times a day, and does not back up with some positive physical and mental effort towards that goal

.And here is where one needs a little bit of the help of his subconscious, which is going to use all the infinity of the positive power hidden in it to map out the best way and method to go about achieving it.  Once a person has tapped into this powerful mental resource, the world is not enough, because he can and is capable of doing everything and anything.
