Positive Thinking Leads to Constructive Solutions

I am certain that if you constantly focus your energy on all the things, that are wrong in your environment, you are not placing yourself in the best frame of mind to achieve anything meaningful with your life. You are surrounded by negativity all the time, in the form of newspapers and news bulletins on radio and TV. So if you want to freshen your attitude and feel more positive, it is time to shift your newspaper, radio and TV time, towards something more positive. I am not advocating that you stop listening to the radio or watching TV altogether. I am however suggesting that you become more selective about the programs you watch or listen to.

Avoid all the crisis type reporting, which repeats throughout the day on Channels such as CNN, Sky News etc. Rather invest this time to watch Discovery Channel, National Geographic or even a few good movies on TV. Use every medium possible to help you develop a positive attitude and to support you to see opportunity. The doom and gloom channels and news reports focus on all the worst negativity, which is going on around you and can never support you to be positive or energised.

Never Abandon your Positive Attitude
People, who abandon their positive attitude, are seldom, if ever aware of all the abundance and opportunity around them. The tend to be blind to everything positive, have a poor work ethic and do not have any drive to take daily action. The attitude you project to the world, will have a major effect on the level of success you manage to achieve.

I know I cannot simply instruct you to be positive and as if by magic, you will immediately just change your attitude and tune out of all the negativity all around you. Telling you to just be positive in a world, which is saturated with so much negativity, is as effective suggesting that you take a swim in the ocean, without getting wet.

Wrestle Back Control
Winning the war against negativity can never happen in a day. It is a gradual conscious process, where you wake up every day determined to be a little more positive that day than you were the day before. You must consciously look around your world and try to identify all the positive things going on. Strive to ignore all the negativity. You must consciously focus on positivity and strive to be solution orientated, looking for opportunities everywhere.

Checklist for positivity:
Fill your day with planned activities, which will help you achieve the success you desire. A disorganised and unplanned day, invites negativity in. This is a simple law of nature, if you do not fill your day with positive, developmental things, the universe will randomly fill it with things you may not necessarily like. A disciplined schedule helps you to remain focused and remain inspired.
Plan at least three positive activities every day, which will support you to feel good. One early in the morning, one at mid-day and one in the late afternoon. This will help you to remain positive throughout the day.
Write your goals at minimum twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the evening. This will help keep you inspired and focused on where you are going.
Write positive saying and reminders, in visible places around your workplace and home. Read them as often as possible, especially if you are feeling low.
Exercise every day for about 30 minutes. This will not only energise you, but will also help you to remain more positive and driven.
Remove all toxins from your life, things like nicotine, poor nutrition, alcohol etc. These toxins accumulate in your fat cells and cause huge chemical imbalances in your body.
Nothing in your life is more valuable than your ability to maintain and consistently deliver a positive attitude every day. The more positive your attitude, the better your health, mental state and financial wellbeing will be. Money and success are far more likely to move towards someone with a positive, upbeat and solution orientated attitude, than it would to someone who is negative and down all the time.
