Thinking Positive - Positive Thinking
Thinking positive is much more than
just having a
predominant positive attitude, and it's definitely much more
than just
repeating a few positive words, or telling yourself
that
everything is going to be all right. Positive
thoughts are
just a better
choice than negative thoughts.
Negative thoughts
create
unhappy moods and influence
destructive behavior that can waste time and
energy. Seeking
happiness and
understanding is much more
productive. And remember,
positive thinking and being
grateful does not replace
learning or
problem solving, they all
work together side by side.
Positive is something
good involving an
advantage. The
quality of being
encouraging or promising of a
successful outcome.
An amount greater than zero and something that is not
negative. Something more
resilient, more
sustainable and more
intelligent. Positive is looking on the
bright side and
being thankful, especially being
thankful for your
ability
to
solve problems.

Mantras -
Placebos The
energy of the mind is the essence of
life. Embracing positive energy and fostering positive energy is a lot
more beneficial then giving into negative energy that will block your
positive energy. Use
mindfulness to
harness your energy. Tune into your energy and open new pathways for your
energy to
flow. Keep your energy
aligned with your goals and your
principles. You can generate joy and positive
energy without any external influences. You have the power.
Focus on
good thoughts and
productive thinking throughout your day, this will help you to avoid
ruminations,
stress and
anxiety.
Optimism is
expecting the
best
possible
outcome
from any given situation. Optimism is being positive and avoiding being
negative. Optimism is
not about being cocky or about
living in a fantasy. Optimism is
looking on the bright side of things and
not dwelling on the difficulties.
Realist -
Things are
Relative.
Having
too much confidence can be problematic. You
definitely don't want to
sugar coat something or gloss over anything.
And just reducing negative emotions does not always mean that positive
emotions will arise that are effective or productive.
Positive
Illusions -
Bliss.
Positive Psychology is the
scientific study of what makes
life most worth living, or "the scientific study of positive human
functioning and flourishing on multiple levels that include the
biological, personal, relational, institutional, cultural, and global
dimensions of life". Positive psychology is concerned with eudaimonia, "
the
good life", reflection about what holds the greatest
value in life – the
factors that contribute the most to a well-lived and fulfilling life. PS uses scientific understanding and
effective intervention to aid in the achievement of a satisfactory life,
rather than
treating mental illness. The focus of positive psychology is
on
personal growth rather than on pathology, as is common among other
frameworks within the field of psychology. Positive psychology is to step
away from the pathological thoughts that may arise in a hopeless mindset,
and to instead, maintain a sense of
optimism that allows for people to
understand what makes life worth living. Practice self-care and do things
you enjoy. Focus on things that make you feel good about yourself and your
life. (Optimal Behaviorist).
Law of Attraction is the belief that
positive thoughts bring
positive
experiences into a person's life and
negative thoughts give rise to
negative experiences. The belief is
based on the ideas that people and their
thoughts are made
from
pure
energy, and that a process of like
energy attracting like energy exists
through which a person can improve their health, wealth, and personal
relationships. Even though there is little scientific evidence supporting the
law of attraction, advocates
generally combine
cognitive reframing techniques with
affirmations and
creative visualization to replace
self-destructive negative thoughts with
more
empowered, adaptive
positive thoughts.
A key component of the philosophy is the idea that in order to effectively
change one's
negative thinking patterns, one must also feel through
creative visualization that the desired changes have already occurred.
This combination of positive thought and
positive emotion is believed to
allow one to
attract positive experiences and opportunities by achieving
resonance with the proposed energetic law.

Being Grounded
Law of Attraction
is a phrase used to describe the perceived nature of bodies that have a
tendency to attract or
repel each other. Historically, the concept of
there being a known set of the laws of
attraction evolved from the
laws of affinity, which numbered up to ten depending upon which
chemist was sourced.
Law of Vibration
states that everything in the universe is in a
constant state of movement. We refer to
these movements as
vibration, and the
speed or rate at which something
vibrates is called its
frequency. The only difference between
one object and another is the rate of its vibration.
Sugar Coat is to talk about something
vaguely or to describe
something in a way that makes something seem more pleasant or more
acceptable than it really is, or to make something
superficially attractive or more
acceptable, or make something
excessively
sentimental more than it really is.
Gloss
Over is to try to
conceal something or to disguise something unfavorable by
treating it briefly or
by representing it
misleadingly. To avoid considering something, such as an embarrassing
mistake, in order to make something seem not important, or to make
something seem unimportant by
ignoring it or by
dealing with it very quickly. To treat something with less care than it
deserves.
Positive thinking is knowing that you have
options and
abilities that
can be used in a positive way, thus creating more positive things to think
about.
With thinking positive,
you get
power in two ways. The first way you get power is when you release
negative energy. The second way you get power is by gaining positive
energy. So your energy is not just about thinking positive, it's also
releasing negativity that was draining you down. And once that is done,
you can now use positive energy to increase your power.
It's always Darkest before the Dawn
is a phrase that means that things always seem the worst right before they
improve. The worst part of an experience or period usually happens just
before things get better. Even in
the
worst of circumstances there is
hope. The first person to use
this
proverb was Thomas
Fuller, an English theologian, in the year 1650.
Dawneth is an archaic third-person singular simple present
indicative form of
dawn.

Imagine not
having a worry in the world and being truly happy. Imagine being free to
explore life and being free to enjoy life without feeling any guilt or
stress. You should imagine this a few times a day,
even if its just for a
moment. Our imagination is not just about escaping reality, it's more
about temporally reshaping our reality to remind us of the possibilities.
Imagine that you're eating something
good that will make you feel
feel better. This is
called the
placebo effect.
But you don't have to take a real pill, you can just imagine that you are.
This is why
loving yourself is so beneficial,
because you never have to wait for love or depend on someone else to show
you love. You can feel loved anytime and anywhere.
Learned Optimism is done by consciously challenging any negative self
talk. Differences exist between pessimists and optimists in terms of
explanatory style:
Permanence: Optimistic
people believe bad events to be more temporary than permanent and bounce
back quickly from failure, whereas others may take longer periods to
recover or may never recover. They also believe good things
happen for reasons that
are permanent, rather than seeing the transient nature of positive events.
Optimists point to specific temporary causes for negative events;
pessimists point to permanent causes.
Pervasiveness: Optimistic people compartmentalize helplessness,
whereas pessimistic people assume that failure in one area of life means
failure in life as a whole. Optimistic people also allow good events to
brighten every area of their lives rather than just the particular area in
which the event occurred.
Personalization:
Optimists
blame bad events on causes
outside of themselves, whereas pessimists blame themselves for events
that occur. Optimists are therefore generally more confident. Optimists
also quickly internalize positive events while pessimists externalize
them.
Vibrant is someone who is
enthusiastic and
full of energy and
personality.
A
vibrant color is a

Appreciating the
good things does not mean that you should
ignore the bad
things. Looking
on the bright side does not mean
that you should ignore the dark side. To truly enjoy what is good, you
have to be
responsible
for what is bad. You need to maintain
balance if you want
balance. To selfishly enjoy what is good and to
pretend that
nothing is bad, will force others to suffer from your
delusion, including
yourself, because you are also the other and not just
thyself.
You should
feel enthusiastic
and be happy about life everyday. Everyone has challenges and
responsibilities
to attend to everyday, and we should do them without having to let go of
our joy for life. Protect that
joy and make
that joy a priority. Make happiness strong and resilient. Stress, anger,
aggravation or
assumptions has no place in your heart
or your head. Use logic and intelligence as
your allies in your fight against corrupt and ignorant individuals. Face
the bullshit with a smile, there's no time to waste on hate or anger,
solve problems
methodically. No one
has the right to steal your joy, and you should never grant this right to
no one, not even yourself. Stand strong, stand proud and stand by your
joy. Joy is your best friend. Joy needs you. Never abandon
your friend and never forget your friend, and make sure that you visit your
friend several times a day and see your joy smile and laugh, that joy is
you, that joy is your future. You can
still be joyful about your life every single day and still be responsible
for yourself and be responsible for everyone around you, including being
responsible for the environment that we all share and will pass on to
future generations.
Joyful awareness,
joyful intelligence,
joyful goals,
joyfully strong willed,
joyfully
professional and
joyfully responsible.
Don't stop being excited about life. Excitement is one of the most
important things that you can preserve from your childhood.
Don't let the
wonder die.
Positive experiences in close relationships are associated with better
physical health, new research suggests. Social relationships influence
physical health, but questions remain about the nature of this connection.
New research suggests that the way you feel about your close relationships
may be affecting the way your body functions.
Grateful -
Appreciation.
Take a moment to identify one
positive event each day. Tell someone about the positive event or
share it. Start a daily gratitude journal. Aim to
find little things you're grateful for.
Identify a personal strength and reflect on how you've used this strength
today or in recent weeks. Set a daily
goal and
track your progress. Try to practice "
positive
reappraisal": Identify an event or daily activity that is a hassle.
Then, try to reframe the event in a more positive light. Do something nice
for someone else each day. Practice
mindfulness
by paying attention to the present moment. You can also try a 10-minute
breathing exercise that uses a focus
on breathing to help calm the mind.
Positive outlook predicts less memory decline.
New
outlook on life is when you
realize that your
attitude towards life was not
helping you or solving any problems. A new outlook on life is when you
make
positive changes in the way that
you think about life and in the way that you
react to life. You will start to see things as being more hopeful
instead of seeing things as a waste of time and not worth the effort.
Being Positive is not supposed to be about
lying to yourself or about lying to
other people.
Over confidence can
create
vulnerabilities.
It takes more then
self love to
treat yourself better. There's a lot of
learning to be done. You need to acquire valuable knowledge and
information, which takes time and a lot of work, but the rewards
are incredible, that's where the
Love is.
I feel more positive energy now then ever
before, mostly because I can now activate positive energy, thus
releasing unneeded negative energy from my
mind and the body. I'm
not saying that I am always happy, it's just that I'm hardly
ever sad or depressed. The positive state is the body and the minds
natural state, it is the perfect
balance of
Positive Charge and
Negative Charge. So
energy flows more freely. Once you learn to
control positive energy,
it will be with you forever.

Two Sides to a Coin - Two Sides to Every Story
If you only hear
one side of
a story, then you can be blind to the
truth. If you
can't see
the whole
picture, then you can't fully understand the
message. If someone
controls the narrative, then
they can
control the
reality that is
presented before you. There is
always
another side to everything. Don't except things at face value,
unmask the deceit and
learn the truth.
On the Other Hand is saying that there
are
other factors that are different or
contradictory when
compared to the other hand or
to the other opinion.
There's more to the story means
that some parts of the story have been left out, making the story
vague and incomplete,
which leads to
misinterpretations and
misunderstandings.
Multifaceted is something having
many facets. A facet is one side of something that has
several sides, especially of a cut gem. A facet is a distinct
feature or element in a problem or a particular aspect or feature of something.
A facet is also any of the individual units or
ommatidia that make up the compound eye of an
insect or crustacean. The brain forms an image from these independent
picture elements.

Version is an
account of a matter from
a
particular person's point
of view. An
interpretation of a matter from a
particular viewpoint. A
mental
representation of the
meaning or significance of something. Something a little
different from others of the same
type. A particular form of something differing in certain respects from an
earlier form or other forms of the same type of thing.
Pandora's Box is an idiom for a present which seems valuable but which
in reality is a curse. Any source of great and unexpected troubles.
Paradox.
Blessing and a
Curse is something that is
both a benefit and a burden, or that may
seem initially beneficial but also brings unforeseen negative
consequences.
Everything is Relative.
Blursed is
a combination word for something being
blessed and
cursed at the same time.
Used to describe something that is a both delightful but also disgusting,
depending how you look at it. Something
that has both very good and very
bad points. A benefit that is also a
liability, or a benefit that carries some significant but not-so-obvious
cost or
risk.
Bittersweet is something
pleasant but also
sad. An emotional feeling that has a mixture of both happy and sad
elements. An experience that may be pleasurable in one sense but can also
cause pain, discomfort, suffering or regret in another sense. A
combination of both bitter and sweet.
"There are always two sides
to every story. Make sure you listen to both sides and seek out the truth
because you might become part of the deceitful circus and end up being the

some important benefits.
Every Cloud has a Silver
Lining means that there is usually a good aspect to almost every
bad event. - A cloud may block the sun, but a cloud can also give you

remember,

on cloudy days. Let us not miss an opportunity to advance because we
are only seeing the bad that came from our mistakes. We did not survive
for millions of years by being negative. We survived by making the most of
the positives.

Silver Lining is a metaphor for optimism in
the common English-language which means a negative occurrence may have a
positive aspect to it.
Brightside is a

elements of a
difficult situation.
Upside is the positive or

Downside the
negative aspect of something otherwise regarded as good or desirable.

Good or
Bad, Hard to Say.
There's an ancient parable about a farmer who lost his horse. And
neighbors came over to say, "Oh, that's too bad." And the farmer said,
"Good or bad, hard to say." Days later, the horse returns and brings with
it seven wild horses. And neighbors come over to say, "Oh, that's so
good!" And the farmer just shrugs and says, "Good or bad, hard to say."
The next day, the farmer's son rides one of the wild horses, is thrown off
and breaks his leg. And the neighbors say, "Oh, that's terrible luck." And
the farmer says, "Good or bad, hard to say." Eventually, officers come
knocking on people's doors, looking for men to draft for an army, and they
see the farmer's son and his leg and they pass him by. And neighbors say,
"Ooh, that's great luck!" And the farmer says, "Good or bad, hard to say."

The Monkey's Paw is when a person is granted three wishes, but the

Understanding all the

Dimorphous is representing two distinct
forms.
Double-Edged Sword is a saying that
means something has both significant advantages and disadvantages. It
refers to something that has both good and bad, and something that can
have both favorable and unfavorable consequences. It is something that has
a benefit but is also a liability. A double edge sword cuts both ways. It
can help cut your food into edible pieces, or, it can cut your skin and
make you bleed.
There is a good side and a bad side to everything. There are
pros and
cons and there is also
relevance. Try to look at the
whole picture and
see things from both ways or from both sides.
Almost everything has
layers and
levels.
There's more than two sides to a
story. There can be multiple points of view and multiple
interpretations. So everything is not always black and white,
because things are
relative. For some
people, some things
only seem to have two sides, it's either black or white,
good or bad, or all or nothing. Some people never realize the gray areas
in between things. This type of
narrow-mindedness
is similar to
absolutism.
There's always another side to life. But we rarely take the time to
explore the other side. The only time we see the other side is when we
learn something new or
when we do some particular drug. I prefer learning than having to do
drugs. Even when I know that knowledge is like a drug, it's my drug of
choice.
You
can't get any higher than knowledge. I know this because I was drunk
when I wrote this. But it was never about the drug, it was about the mind
that processed the drug and interpreted the effects of the drug. And since
the
human body produces
many chemicals on its own, there's never seems to be a shortage of
drugs.
The body effects the mind, the
mind effects the body.
Of course bad things are horrible and you don't want bad things to
happen, but for some strange reason, something good or beneficial can come
out of something bad. The question is, could you have done something good
without having something bad happen?
Just because something looks bad, that doesn't mean that its all bad. And
just because something looks good, that doesn't mean that its all good.
Sometimes you have to learn to understand what good and bad is and if
something is wrong or right. Which is one of the reasons why we have
courts of law, because just having a law does not explain when the law is
necessary and when the law is not necessary.
Ideology -
Philosophy.
Take the Good with the Bad is to
understand both the negative and positive aspects of something and to
acknowledge that nothing is perfect. It's best to
look on the bright side of things than to
ruminate about the bad side of things.
Complaining only about the bad side of
things will stop you from enjoying the good side of things.
Benefit Finding refers to a reported
positive life change resulting from the
struggle to cope with a challenging life event such as trauma,
illness, or other negative experiences. The positive psychology movement
has recently driven a shift toward an emphasis on the positive
consequences of negative events.
Posttraumatic Growth is a positive psychological change experienced as
a result of
adversity and other
challenges in order to rise to a higher level of functioning. These
circumstances represent significant challenges to the adaptive resources
of the individual, and pose significant challenges to their way of
understanding the world and their place in it. Posttraumatic growth
involves "life-changing" psychological shifts in thinking and relating to
the world, that contribute to a personal process of change, that is deeply
meaningful.
“We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice
because thorn bushes have roses.”
"Things turn out best for people who make the best out of the
way things turn out."
"You are what you think, so
choose your

"The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your
thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you
entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable
nature." (
Marcus
Aurelius)
"If you don’t like something, then change it. If you can’t change it, then change the
way you think about it."
Thinking positive is being aware of possibilities and being
aware of your abilities, like your ability to
solve problems.

Praise (stimulation)
Visceral
is having to do with the
response of the body as opposed to the
intellect, as
in the distinction between
feeling and
thinking.
Coping is expending
conscious effort to solve personal and
interpersonal problems, and seeking to master, minimize or
tolerate stress
or conflict. The effectiveness of the
coping efforts depend on the type of
stress and/or conflict, the particular individual, and the circumstances.
Addictions.
Motivation
(inspiration)
Reinforcement is a consequence that will strengthen an
organism's future behavior whenever that behavior is preceded by a
specific antecedent stimulus. This strengthening effect may be measured as
a higher frequency of behavior.
Thought can refer to the ideas or arrangements of
ideas that
result from thinking, the act of producing thoughts, or the process of
producing thoughts. Although thought is a fundamental human activity
familiar to everyone, there is no generally accepted agreement as to what
thought is or how it is created. Thoughts may or may not arise in the mind
from the product of subconscious
brain processing.
The
Glass is Neither Half Full nor Half Empty, it is what it is, a glass with a certain amount of water.
Is the glass half empty or half full?"
This
question is a common
expression or a proverbial phrase generally used rhetorically to indicate
that a particular situation could be a cause for
pessimism (half-empty) or
optimism (half full), or as a general litmus test to simply determine an
individual's
worldview. The purpose of the question is to demonstrate that
the situation may be
seen in different ways depending on one's
point of
view and that there may be opportunity in the situation as well as
trouble. Another perspective comes from psychology, where research has
shown that a speaker's choice of frame can reflect their knowledge of the
environment, and that listeners can be sensitive to this information.
Technically it is a syntax error since changing the "or" to "and" removes
the confusion and allows both conditions to exist at the same time. The
question presents the two conditions of the glass as options when in
reality the conditions are simultaneous and are not optional.
In life there are many things to be
discourage about and many bad things to be sad about. But on the other
hand, there are many nice things to be thankful for and many good things
to be happy about. We have one reality, there's a good side and a bad
side. The bad side is a reminder of our
vulnerabilities and a
reminder of the mistakes that we made. The good side helps us to stay
focused on advancing and moving forward and developing in a positive way.
Stay
focused on your
goals,
and don't forget what you have learned. See the good, and don't forget the
bad.
Both
Sides Now - Judy Collins (youtube) - I've looked at life from both
sides now, From win and lose and still somehow, It's life's illusions I
recall, I really don't know life at all.
You have to maintain an
equal librium. Your
emotions must be centered and
balanced. If you are sad about something, then you can also be happy about
something. If you are stressed about something, then you can also be
relaxed about something. If you are worrying about something, then you can
also strategically think about something. If you are disappointed about
something, then you can also appreciate something. If you can be the
source of your suffering, then you can also be the source of your
inspiration. If you are
angry about something, then you can also effectively handle something.
You can't
control everything, but you can control a lot of things. But you need
to
exercise your control several times a day in order to remind yourself
that you have power in this universe and that you are the master of your
domain. This includes the ability to
live in the moment, which means to
take a little time each day to stop thinking about the past and to stop
thinking about the future, and only listen to what is happening now,
internally and externally. You must
remember that there are two sides of a coin, and you have to
know both sides. You
have to be aware of how you feel and how you think. Don't make assumptions in your judgments. Don't overreact or jump to conclusions. Connect to your
baseline and think logically.
Negativity - Negative Views - Poor Attitudes
Pessimism is
worrying or
ruminating too much about
undesirable things that might happen.
Pessimists also tend to focus on the
negatives of
life and
complain more about things
than they do
planning and
problem solving. Pessimists tend to see more of
the
evil and hardships in life than they
do the
good or the luxuries of
life.
Negative is tending to
discredit,
especially without
positive or helpful
suggestions.
Doom and Gloom is a

Learned Helplessness is when you
fail to learn or accept
"escape" or "avoidance" in new situations, where such behavior would
likely be effective. When a person believes that they have lost control or
believe that they have no control, they give up trying even as changing
circumstances offer a method of relief from said stimulus.

Jumping to Conclusions
Lazy
Argument is an attempt to undermine the philosophical doctrine of
fatalism by demonstrating that, if everything that happens is determined
by

Negative thoughts should be seen as just problems that you have to
solve. Don't fear problem solving or feel
overwhelmed.
Life has
responsibilities and you have to do a little work now and then in
order to maintain a healthy mind and a strong and healthy body. And you
also have to do a little work now and then on your environment. You have
to put good into the environment in order to
get the good out of the environment.

It's more then just Loving Yourself, it's more then just
hearing
Yourself say "I love you" in the mirror, It's about
giving yourself the Love you need by doing the things that you
know are good for you. And knowing what's good for you is a
learning process. Document what you learn.

Fill your
Heart with Love, not
obsessive
love or conditional love, just love. When your heart is full of
love you become more able to handle stress and conflict, more
then you would be if you just had a heart filled with
anger,
hatred or
frustration. But just the word Love cannot stand on its own or
be understood completely by itself.
Love is more about the accumulation of Knowledge of
the self and knowledge of the world, and the wisdom that comes
from it. The feeling of love can be felt by anyone, but the true
power of love can only materialize and be sustainable when you
are fully knowledgeable of its power and benefits. So you can
easily say that love is one of the side-effects of
intelligence, and that
anger
and Hatred are a side-effect of ignorance, an ignorance that is
missing key information and knowledge.

tools you have the better your chances will be of fixing those daily
challenges that come your way.

BoredomWhat if everything in
your life was great and you had no worries, what would you be
thinking about? What kind of thoughts would you have? What plans
would you make? What kind of things would you be doing? What
ideas would you come up with? What kind of things would you
dream about? If you give yourself that freedom several times a
day to think what ever you want, how would those thoughts
compare to the other thoughts that you would normally have
during the day? Then ask yourself why those thoughts are so
different from each other? Which thought would be the most
correct thought to have at that given moment in time? What are
you really being aware of? Are these thoughts or is this
thinking making any progress? Or are these thoughts just
repeating themselves without you learning anything from them?
You only read a passage in a book more than once when you don't
understand what the passage is saying, but once you understand
it you move on to the next page or the next passage. If you
don't make progress with your thoughts then it's like never
turning the page. If you can't understand something then
bookmark that page and come back to it later when you think you
figured it out. Sometimes you will find the answers some where
else in the book or even from a totally different book. Learning
how to read your own mind is the most important aspect of
knowing how to read.
Passage:
A section of text;
particularly a section of medium length. The act of passing from

"If you have to keep
checking your rear view mirror, you will not see where
you're going, so you will miss a lot of things, and you will
also crash into a lot of things. Learn from the past, and try
not to live in the past."
