How do I increase positive thinking and positive energy?

Positive thinking means to think straight, regarding any matter. The straightforward thinking conserves our energy in a big way for it does not get wasted in futile efforts unnecessarily. Moreover, it generates positive energy which is integral to our everyday life as it brings happiness and motivates us to do well in whatever we do. A negative situation can be turned into positive with an open and straightforward mind. This in turn instils even more positive energy in us, and thereby places us in a positive feedback loop that makes us progress better and takes us higher in life.

On the other hand, negative energy does great harm as it drags us down and lowers our self-esteem. It keeps us unhappy in every situation and pushes us into a deep valley of self-invited miseries and sufferings. This in turn worsens the given situation furthermore, and leads us into such a negative feedback loop that things could eventually go completely out of control.
How do we increase positive thinking and positive energy within us?

1.First and foremost, let’s set a goal that ‘I want to develop a positive mindset.’
Our goal should be to become so positive that just by our mere presence, the other person sheds away his negative, and gets automatically inspired to move onto the path of positive. This can happen when negative thinking just does not arise in us at all. It means to attain this goal, the negativity within us ought to reduce cent percent to ‘zero’.

2.So let’s fathom the reasons why negative thinking arises in us:
a.Do you want everything to be 100% perfect in life? This will not happen. Instead, learn to lovingly accept whatever you get in life, as a gift from God or Nature, with all the positivity; and you’ll soon see things transforming inside you.

b.What happens when someone points out your mistake? ☺
Do you know how helpful this is for your progress? Whoever points out your mistakes is actually your best friend and guide in its true meaning, for they are showing you where you are going wrong, so that you can mend your way in the right direction. From now on, let’s become happy and say to ourself, “Oh, very nice! Now that I know my mistake, I will surely correct it and perform even better than before.”

c.Are you scared of failing? And are you haunted by the thought that, “I am not good enough.”
You must have surely heard, “Failures are a stepping stone to success.” Now, next time when you encounter failure, try to experience this phrase too. If you are not good enough and you fail, it is actually an opportunity to learn and get better. Failures, when seen positively, teach us very important lessons in life, and in turn make us a better human being indeed.

d.Contrary to above, there must be some areas where you even feel, “I am better than others.” do you? Beware! This too could breed negative thinking for others.
People will benefit from our good services only when we have the feeling of oneness with the world. Human life is very precious. And the purpose of this life should be to serve the other living beings in whatever way we can. We cannot fulfil this purpose as long as there is a feeling of division, that of ‘I am good, and they are not’, breeding inside us.

e.Do you pass on your negative opinions to your friends and subordinates too?

This is a very wrong thing to do. The law of Nature is: Whatever you give, shall come back to you one day for sure. So if you do not like people talking negative of you, you too should not talk negative of anyone. So let’s make it a practice to never feed any negative to others. And also let’s arrive at a decision to never use our intellect to judge people; we shall use it rather to find positive ways to solving any problem.

3.Simultaneously, we shall also make a sincere attempt to develop a positive mind-set in our daily life. The following tips will help us get there:
●Try to move first your mind, and later even people’s mind-set towards the positive.
●See everything positively.
●Encourage the positive within you, and also in everyone around you.
●Do not harness doubts or suspicions regarding any positive that you encounter.
●Always support the positive.
●Show or display to people the positive side of anything that comes forth in life.
●Focus on the positivity.

Positive vision leads to positive understanding.
Just like gold becomes pure when put into furnace and diamonds are formed when placed under intense heat and pressure, similarly we too become pure and precious when exposed to trying situations in life, provided we maintain a positive outlook without allowing even a tinge of negativity to mix in our vision.

How do we do that?
This condition can be fulfilled only when we have realized our Self, the real Self! We are in fact a Pure Soul, but since we do not know that, we think our body and our name to be our real Self. Only when Gnani, the Enlightened One, gives us the real vision of our Self and brings us into its awareness, the illusion of, “I am this body and I am this name” gets removed, and we attain the right understanding of, “I am really only a Pure Soul.” With this, we come to the right positive that makes us God!!

Thus, to increase positive energy, reach out for Gnani, the Enlightened One, who effortlessly takes away all the negative from ourself, by introducing us to our real Self, the ultimate positive Self that reigns forever!!!
