Positive Thinking Articles

There's nothing like a touch of spring in the air to stir my curiosity about what lessons the spring season may offer. The 75-degree weather in the Boston area during early April sure sparked me. I decided to do some spring-cleaning around the yard and began with the flower beds, figuring that a little leaf raking would make a great start. I felt like an archeologist as I peeled back the layers of leaves. And what a treasure I found unde eath. The beautiful Crocus plants had

I was playing cards with my husband recently and it was my turn to draw a card. I needed a queen of hearts, so I decided to imagine and generate the energy of what it would feel like to draw the queen of hearts: my body softened and relaxed, my breath became smooth and easy, and a Mona Lisa smile rested on my face. I then drew my card with an attitude of gratitude for it being just the card I needed…and EUREKA! It was the queen of hearts! This is an example of praying ‘fr

We can’t escape every difficult person in our lives. They create unnecessary stress for us to find some release for their own inner demons. By using a few simple steps, we can learn to keep our composure whenever we have to deal with them.

Be open to receiving 'Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into' Wayne Dyrer Each night before I go to sleep I write a list of all that I am grateful for. One Saturday evening I had written the following things: • Having a warm house to come home to when it's cold outside. • Being able to have a hot and refreshing shower in the morning. • Having a cup of tea with my Mum and Dad at breakfast. • Having an i-pod that plays motivational music when I'm running. • Being able to access the internet on my i-phone.r

‘Tis the season for giving. One of my favorite stories of giving comes from the book Give to Live by Joe Vitale and Dr. Rick Barrett. Rudy builds ecological stoves for the Nahuatl families in remote villages of Mexico. These stoves are very important to these people because otherwise, they have to inhale the black smoke from the firewood which leads to ear, nose, eye and throat infections. They also get asthma and lung cancer.

What does New Years mean to you? Is it just another day? What emotions come up? Does the mere thought of the New Year bring you to tears or does it make you feel hopeful, excited and happy? Are you so excited to make your New Year’s resolutions and go after your dreams? Are you all pumped up to continue on the path you set this year and bring it forward into the next year in a bigger way? For me, New Years Eve’s approach comes with great excitement to continue on the path I

I write a diary like many people do, on and off. And usually the need to write a few pages arise when I have felt strong emotions. Often those emotions are negative. I do have a vivid imagination so I suppose I am good at strengthening the original emotions. A little thing that made me feel good ...

You are marvelously made. There is so much more to you than what your physical eyes can see. Part of the game, called “The Evolution of Humanity” is to use our imagination and know that we are infinitely more than what we portrayed ourselves to be the day before. We are Image Makers – that is YOUR gift. The Ego will have you center your attention on your past history. It will insist that the past reveals all there is to know about you. This is a lie. Deny the lie. Affirm the

All that I am today, and all that I have today is vastly more tha I could have possibly imagined when I was twelve years old. At that age, I assumed that the best I could hope for was to sweep floors in a local factory in the mill town in which I was raised. All of my success, be it in the restaurant business, my East coast and West coast real estate development triumphs, my travels around the world -- all of it comes from recognizing a power that resides in the deep of me, a

Make no mistake about it, change is challenging whether it is conscious or unexpected. Viewing adversity as change, not loss or failure, is part of empowered and positive thinking. Humans develop resiliency through change, both physiologically, and emotionally. It’s necessary for all life ...

We’ve all heard the cliche: “If at first you don’t succeed…try, try again.” That’s sounds like a great idea, but what if you are someone who fears success? What if you have done everything that you were supposed to do in order to reach your goals, only to panic once you finally achieved them? Then you find yourself wondering what is wrong with you. Why are you so unhappy or scared when you should be ecstatic about your achievement? Does this mean you want to be a failure?

In this article I would like to share an issue that is a bit sneaky and can have big consequences in the long run. That issue is: the words we use in our minds and in conversations with other people. And, to be more specific, two words and variations of them that can sink your self-esteem and keep it low. The words? Never and always. And similar variations of those words like no one and everyone. Let me show a few examples. You may, for instance, say or think: - Everyone is better than me in school.rn- I never have any luck in my career.rn- This always happens to me.r

We all want to move forward in life! But some of us feel overwhelmed and consumed with heartache of the past. From the time we are born we are learning about relationships. Some of the negative events we have internalized happened so long ago that we don’t consciously remember them. A past love, family relations, or our relationship with ourselves may be haunting us. Subconsciously we tend to hold our present partner or dating prospects accountable for our old relationship

The independent, feminine spirit is personified in the Greek goddess Artemis. Her imagery shows us a woman who seeks her goals on a terrain of her own choosing. Although we need both masculine and famine qualities to achieve inner balance (this is the true meaning of wholeness), Artemis reminds us modern women to maintain emotional and intellectual balance in our lives. The assertive Artemis

In this busy and hectic world full of noise and haste, learning a simple meditation technique can bring a sense of calm and inner peace that most of us never have the chance to experience.

Look at this glass on the table in front of you. Is it half-full or is it half-empty? Now, do you realize that it is entirely for you to decide what the answer to this question is going to be. The choice is yours. So, the very same reality can be seen in totally opposite ways: in a positive way, and in a negative way. And there is always a positive side to any thing, any situation, any event, any person. Look at the world in a different way. Try to find out that positive

Limiting beliefs, just like positive, empowering thoughts, provide a foundation for our experiences and what we demonstrate. Old beliefs can leave us behind – and are often stale, lingering ideas left-over from our childhood experiences or from other areas of life that no longer carry any ...

Love is blind they constantly try and tell us. I disagree. I think Love, in all its ways, sees the essence of our inner truth. It sees past the distorted perceptions of our ego. Truly it is the ego that miserably fails see the exquisite beauty of all that we hold within us. And it is this that Love recognizes in an instant before the ego takes over and the light becomes distorted just like the rays of the sun get fragmented when dark clouds pass over it. Truly it is the ego t

The other day I was reviewing performance numbers for one of our client's team members. I noticed a particular trend that I found fascinating. This person's performance indicators on Fridays were consistently lower in comparison to the previous four days of the week.nnI sent the person an email saying, "Are Fridays bad for you?"nThe response was...

I heard something the other day that I just can't let go of. It's an idea that's stunning, yet so obvious, I can't believe I haven't come across it sooner... Our thoughts are CURRENCY. Let that sink in for a moment. In other words, everything you think about you BUY. We've all heard that what we focus on determines the results we get in life. That makes sense. If you want something badly enough, and you focus all your energy on getting it, you'll very likely achieve it. W

Over the next five blogs, I will show you how to make your fantasies become facts in your life. The secret to success is putting your daydreams to productive use. When you walk around town imagining a bright future, but do nothing to make those dreams real … it’s like driving a truck full of delicious ripe fruit around town aimlessly instead of taking the fruit to the farmer’s market where it could make you a profit. So, let’s get started so you can daydream productively. Rea

Regardless of where you live, your home should be your sanctuary. A home should be a place where you can be comfortable and happy. This has nothing to do with elaborate furnishings or style. This is about the ability to come home to a space that makes you feel welcome, safe, and content. However, many of us occupy spaces that make us feel anything but happy and relaxed. In fact, some of our homes may give us the blues. Fortunately, creating a space that's warm and inviting is

As if there wasn’t enough ill will in this world, some nimrod – or a drove of them – believed we desperately needed a National Be Nasty Day. I ask you to join me in a Be Nasty Day Boycott against the poor behavior this absurd day celebrates.

People who have great, positive attitudes believe in themselves. They are able to focus on opportunities not obstacles, and are persistent in finding solutions to challenges. In order to develop a more positive attitude, one needs to start by having an open mind to change. You must be willing to step outside of your comfort zone for awhile in order to grow. How could anyone expect to create positive change in his or her life if they keep doing the same non-supportive behavior

Your infinite potential speaks to you. Set aside all that you are currently thinking right now, and listen intently to it's words: "Everything that you desire, all that you yearn to experience, your wildest dreams and aspirations are currently awaiting your call.

And, you have talents and skills, the faculties and creative power to convert that which is abstract into actual fact. But to do thi

Love does not lie. We often give the honor of love to relationships, People, events, and things we treat as love. But we are often young – too wet behind the earsr To acknowledge the doubt that enters our minds. We know what a lie is. Yet we choose not to listen to the love inside of ourselves, And impulsively shower the undeserving and ill-preparedr With the glorious nature of love that defines who we are, Opening up our hearts and minds to deception and loss.

Fear was controlling my life. I had always had a standard response to fears: avoidance. Choices I had made kept me from having to face them, but they had also kept me from realizing my dreams. I had been claustrophobic for as far back as I could remember, and then I developed a fear of flying. ...

Years ago when I was into body building, I couldn’t resist attending a training camp by the big guy. I mean the BIG GUY—A old Shwarzenneger. This was well before his Terminator and Governator days. At the time, he could barely speak the king’s English; nonetheless he won the “Mr. Olympia” title seven times. . . went on to become a Hollywood action film hero — an icon, really . . . a fabulously wealthy real estate owner . . . and, Califo ia’s highest elected official.

I’m sure we’ve all heard the adage, ‘Good things come to those who wait.’ This is a truism. Good things do come to those who wait. However, it is only part of the ‘Good Things’ recipe. There is more to eating that blueberry pie than sitting around waiting for the oven timer to sound. Waiting does not of, and by its self bring a desired result into fruition. Following is what I’ve learned over the past half century regarding the subject: · Good things come to those who wait. · Good things come to those who persist. · Good things come to those who prepare.

Put yet another way, those who choose to learn to willfully transform the energy of their thoughts and feelings, will consciously determine their own life course. Now, the thing is this: if each of us is made of Universal or God Consciousness and an extension of the Creative Mind of Universal ...

The basis of the Law of Attraction is that you attract things and circumstances that are operating at the same vibrational level that your thoughts are. The higher that you keep your mental vibration, the better things you can bring to yourself that are also at that higher vibrational level. For instance, when you are start out having a really great day - things just seem to fall into place and keep getting better. However, it works the opposite way as well. When you are hav

Being overweight is something that many of us suffer from. You are not alone. Whether you have a little bit of puppy fat or physically obese both your body and mind are affected. Whilst losing weight is something that should be done from a health point of view often people want to lose weight because it will help their self esteem. The thing that most don’t understand is that your self esteem comes from what you think about yourself, not what others think. In every day life we are greeted with pictures of stick thin models and gorgeous glamorous actors and actresses.

You are walking through your neighborhood enjoying a beautiful sunny day. Suddenly you hear the sound of a dog barking. It sounds like the barking is getting closer. You look behind you and notice that the ferocious dog from down the street is loose and running directly toward you! A wave of fear rushes through you. You are close to your house, so you start running for your front door. The dog is gaining on you, but you are able to reach the front door before the dog. Ahh…

Do you ever look at someone and he or she seems to be a people magnet? People, both men and women, seem to gravitate to him or her. He or she does not seem to do anything special, yet people flock to his or her side, hanging on his or her every word. You feel like a wallflower as you quietly blend into the woodwork wondering, "What does he or she have that I don't?" That answer is simple, he or she has been developing their charisma.nnCharisma is a combination of many factors

There are many sayings that remind us that what you give is what you get. For instance, what goes around, comes around captures the idea that what we give is what we will receive. For some this is the idea of Karma, and for others it is the essence of the Golden Rule, do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I’ve been thinking about this in terms of forgiveness and have been exploring the question, What am I for giving?

Habits of highly healthy people Do you ever feel as if your heart is weighed down by over indulgence? Eating too much, drinking too much and shopping too much?

Look around you what do you see? How are you feeling? Are you leading the life that you desire, or does everything seem to be a struggle? It is a very hard concept to accept I know, but at some level you have asked for, or attracted, everything that you are currently experiencing. You are very successful in manifesting what you are thinking and feeling about on a regular basis, so you will realise how crucial it is to monitor your thoughts and feelings.

rnIn talking about the busy mind, also known as the monkey mind or mind chatter, you may be asking yourself, “How do I begin to gain some mastery over my mind”? rnOne of my coaching client once stated, “my mind runs on and on and on…. like a Duracell battery”. She too felt she had little to no control over her current mind chatter, nor reactions to situations in her life. She frequently felt mental (and at times emotional) fatigued. She would wake up during the wee

I cannot imagine now not having the fire walk experience as a chapter in my book of life. This was such an achievement to have taken it off my 'to do' list and put on the 'accomplishment' list. Actually, it is on the 'to do again' list. The intense self amazement I felt knowing that Me, Myself, and I together, controlled our body to not burn, has become an incredible anchor. It is one I retrieve whenever I need a boost in visualizing a successful outcome as I transform an ambitious dream, into an attainable goal.r
