The Real Power of Positive Thinking

It is helpful at this point to understand that your inner self made this survival decision a priority, meaning it is very difficult to change consciously. However, by first accepting that this inner self is only looking out for your well-being the best it knows how, you can begin to ask some probing questions to get at the hidden decision that created the reaction itself.

Throughout life, everyone experiences stressors: divorce, the death of a loved one, job loss or financial troubles. How we react to these stressors varies widely and is determined in part by our genetic and inherited emotional make-up – the built-in fear response of “fight or flight.” This reaction is also mitigated by our ability to superimpose learned behavior on top of this response. While there is ample evidence to suggest that our initial reaction to a stressful event is to try to get away, or become angry and belligerent, it’s vital to a balanced life that we learn self help to calm ourselves and react in measured ways that will allow us to consider every situation with a rational and calm mind.

 

Learning to adjust our physical and mental responses to stress has a positive effect on our bodies and minds. Stress causes weight gain, illness, high blood pressure, and makes us unhealthy and unhappy.   There are even times when outside stress is not so obvious, but certain triggers or words can cause us to “freak out,” experience panic attack symptoms like shortness of breath and sweaty palms, or react in ways that sabotage our success.

 

Do you have these symptoms?   If so, what can you do to take back control of your life, overcome self-sabotage, increase your wealth, build solid relationships, and develop your full mental and physical potential?  The first thing is to realize that “you” are limited in what you can do.   There is another “self” inside that – quite literally – controls trillions of connections in your body, mind, and nervous system that are going on every second you are alive.   This self, as well as each of these nerve firings or chemical reactions, have an intelligence – a kind of “logic” as it were – that reacts to stimuli both inside as well as outside. It is the “inside memory reaction” that often misfires and causes what we consider an inappropriate response.  

 

The solution to fear and self-sabotage will come when we learn to negotiate with this inner “self.”   When you can access and change the old hidden decisions stored in the memory, you will convert this inner self from an enemy to an ally that can help you manifest anything you want! The ability to achieve insight into the driving forces behind the power of positive thinking can harness the true laws of attraction – allowing you to build a more positive and deep relationship with those you love – to increasing your self esteem and overcoming self-sabotage that can affect you mentally, emotionally and financially.

 

When experiencing stress or anxiety, identify the true nature of the situation by closing your eyes and noticing where the fear, anxiety or discomfort originates.   Also notice the kind of thoughts that arise.   Are you over reacting? Are you telling yourself that you can’t fix this situation or that you won’t make it through? Do you feel some fear or anger?  

 

The first thing to realize is that these feelings and reactions arose because – at some point early in your life – you made a decision.   This decision was made because you either feared your life was in danger when these conditions arose, or because you took on someone else’s fear decision. If the latter happened, you were probably at an age when you did not make the distinction between your thoughts and another’s.  

 

It is helpful at this point to understand that your inner self made this survival decision a priority, meaning it is very difficult to change consciously.   However, by first accepting that this inner self is only looking out for your well-being the best it knows how, you can begin to ask some probing questions to get at the hidden decision that created the reaction itself.   In this way, you will not only change the decision, you can change your life!   Your conscious reaction to the so-called self-sabotage will allow you to begin to realize the real power of positive thinking.
