JACK CANFIELD - Positive Thinking for Self Esteem

thank you very much for this logic

One way to stop negative thoughts is to FIRST - reward yourself for catching the negative thougth, be happy that you are improving your awareness.

2. Realise that your negative thoughts are weak and powerless, it litreally takes you WEEKS of straight worrying to manifest something bad.

3. Deliberate Creation. State your intent to create a life you can be proud of. Decide to change your attitude NOW and start by appreciating everything you have around you.

Your clothes, food, family

Very interesting. Heavens, knows I am trying to actually have a good life for a change.

Another “secret”

“Everything can be taken from a man but …the last of the human freedoms - to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”

Viktor Frankl (from “Man’s serch for meaning”).

As a psychologist, over the years I have seen evidence of the immense power for change in Frankl’s wonderful truism.

You what you have to do? You have to right down what a positive person does and thinks and read it three times a day. Then, you need to be hyper aware at all times of what you are thinking. When problems arrive, that is when you have to tell yourself “this is where the rubber meets the road.” Then, you knowingly implement positive thinking. The very first time it will fee weird, but from there, after the first time, it will get easier. You will see.

Practice is the key. I’ve been fighting with myself for a month or so to be aware of my thoughts. It works. I’m confronting things positvely and it is improving my life. It really does work. It’s just practice, or conditioning as Tony Robbins says.
