The Law of Attraction isn't just a myth. Maybe people believe in the notion that if you put good energy and thoughts out into the universe on a daily basis, that is what you'll receive in return. Putting this into practice is easier said than done but that doesn't mean you can't give it a shot, especially if you've been down in the dumps lately or recognize that negative thinking has taken too strong of a hold in your life lately. The steps it takes to improve one's mindset in order to think more positively doesn't produce results overnight. The greatest challenge with changing or improving mindset is that it takes time but requires constant effort on a regular basis. Below are just a few tips for ways to introduce more positive thinking into your life: Evaluate & Identify Negativity Organizing your thoughts is an effective way to identify the negative sources in your life. Doing this can be as simple as jotting down the things that bother you, make you angry and/or could otherwise ruin a perfectly good day. Don't over think this part, write down the first things that come to mind. Now review what you've written. Are there any trends or patterns? If so, find out what it is about those things that causes you to become so negative. Were there any common behaviors or actions that seem to always lead to those results? Then that means figuring out a way to tweak or change those behaviors or actions so that they produce better, more positive results. For example, do you hate confrontation but constantly find yourself engaging in a heated debate or argument with a friend or loved one that leaves you feeling irritable, upset and downtrodden? The source of it might be something in the relationship you have with those certain individuals or something in their personality (or yours) that seems to keep adding fuel to the fire. Whatever it is, change it so that it doesn't continue to become a bad experience. Whether they means walking away or taking space from that person, try different methods to see if a different outcome happens. Learn Accountability Oftentimes we are our own worst enemies, yet we fail to realize it. The fastest way to begin bringing more positivity into your life starts with you. Recognize your flaws and shortcomings--not so that you'll feel bad about yourself--but so that you can find ways to turn those things around for the better. When you can identify the change that needs to occur and see it as a step towards progress, you're already inviting the Law of Attraction to start working in your life. Make Positive Thinking Automatic You know the "glass is half empty or half full" concept? It definitely applies to positive thinking and improving the mindset. Of course the most dire circumstances might make this tip more difficult to apply but it is great to implement in everyday life. Have you been enjoying a wonderful day at work, only to find a parking ticket on the windshield of your car for $35? Instead of venting and unleashing negative energy, put it into a more positive perspective. For instance, in many cities, parking tickets are $55 or higher. Are you financially stable and can spare the $35 needed to pay the ticket? Then there's no need to be negative because the situation could have been worse, such as the vehicle getting towed, which would surely cost much more. See? Tantrum and negative disaster averted. Even in a more serious case like being involved in a car accident, positive thinking can help you maintain your cool and prevent a serious emotional meltdown. For instance, car accidents are anything but pleasant but if you and the other party involved have the ability to walk away without any serious injuries, that is the best outcome of all. Of course there are the legalities and insurance companies to deal with but if you're not in the wrong and/or you've suffered an injury that isn't life threatening, you might find comfort in knowing there are cash for structured settlement opportunities you could qualify for. That means money in your pocket for your unfortunate experience. It doesn't take much positivity to turn a negative circumstance on its head for the better. Become Proactive, Not Reactive All too often the negative things that happen in our lives come about because of how we react to them. Always react negatively and, well, that's how the rest of the process will play out most times. Learning how to take proactive steps instead of being reactive is an effective way to change your mindset. Implementing the tips above and remaining diligent in transforming the way you think and perceive things will make this last tip much easier to accommodate. Before following in footsteps you know will lead to unfavorable results, take the time to think about the options and go for the most positive one. You will be rewarded every time in ways large and small.
