“Believing in negative thoughts is the single greatest obstruction to success” stated Charles F. Glassman inBrain Drain The Breakthrough That Will Change Your Life. Our human nature is to focus on the negatives in our life. Our minds so quickly become flooded with unhealthy thoughts, they consume us and ultimately pull us deeper down into this spiral.
Negative thoughts are crippling and for some reason it is way easier to be ran by those thoughts rather than making an effort to see the good and to be positive. In order to clean out our mind of the bad we must be aware of where negativity comes from. Believe it or not negative thoughts come from our beliefs about ourselves; self-esteem, self-worth, people, life, etc. The more we think those beliefs and ideas about ourselves the more it is reaffirmed in our mind whether it is true or not and the more we think poorly. Negative thoughts affects lives, it causes depression, disease, physical issues such as weight problems, and it disables us from reaching goals.
In order to be successful and ultimately healthy, we must get rid of the weeds in our mind. Evaluate how you are looking at things. If you are thinking negatively about one thing in particular, capture that thought and change it to make it sound positive. An example “I’m never going to get out of this plateau I've hit.” Change that negative outlook into “I see this as a challenge to work harder in new ways to pull myself out.”
By changing a negative statement or question into something more positive we are more apt to take positive action. Positive thinking has such a big part in our health, when were positive our goal-reaching is more effective. Clearing our minds of negativity and filling it with positivity is just a matter of making a conscious effort. Do not fight the negativity, simply replace it with the good thinking. Do not give light to what does not serve you. Once you free yourselves of the bondage it puts you in than you will be free and healthy mentally and physically.
