Is positive thinking works in one's life?

Answer 1

I have completely changed my life around with positive thinking.

I've been blessed in life with a lot of things I didn't earn (not money though) and I spent the first two decades of my life seeing only obstacles and problems and stress. This led me straight into depression during what could have been the most carefree, explorative, and fun years of my life.

About a year ago, I made the decision to stop pitying myself and to notice the good things. I forced myself to look at the advantages and lessons in each setback, and to have a sense of humor and patience about stuff.

Thanks to that, I have had one of the most wonderful years of my life, and I honestly think it has everything to do with how I look at any given situation.

Read a book called "the 100 secrets of happy people" (I don't remember the author. Life is too short not to think positively. Do you want to have been cranky the whole time you were here? If there's a god, he's either laughing or weeping at such a waste.

The Power of Positive Thinking
Key Point
You are what you think. You feel what you want.
Why Think Positively?
All of our feelings, beliefs and knowledge are based on our internal thoughts, both conscious and subconscious. We are in control, whether we know it or not.
Aim high and do your best
We can be positive or negative, enthusiastic or dull, active or passive.
The biggest difference between people is their attitudes. For some, learning is enjoyable and exciting. For others, learning is a drudgery. For many, learning is just okay, something required on the road to a job.
"Most folks are about as happy as they
make up their minds to be."
Abraham Lincoln
Our present attitudes are habits, built from the feedback of parents, friends, society and self, that form our self-image and our world-image.
These attitudes are maintained by the inner conversations we constantly have with ourselves, both consciously and subconsciously.
The first step in changing our attitudes is to change our inner conversations.
What Should We Be Saying?
One approach is called the three C's: Commitment, Control and Challenge.
Commitment
Make a positive commitment to yourself, to learning, work, family, Friends, nature, and other worthwhile causes. Praise yourself and others. Dream of success. Be enthusiastic.
Control
Keep your mind focused on important things. Set goals and priorities for what you think and do. Visualize to practice your actions. Develop a strategy for dealing with problems. Learn to relax. Enjoy successes. Be honest with yourself.
Challenge
Be courageous. Change and improve each day. Do your best and don't look back. See learning and change as opportunities. Try new things. Consider several options. Meet new people. Ask lots of questions. Keep track of your mental and physical health. Be optimistic.
Studies show that people with these characteristics are winners in good times and survivors in hard times.
Research shows that,
"... people who begin consciously to modify their inner conversations and assumptions report an almost immediate improvement in their performance. Their energy increases and things seem to go better ..."
Commitment, control and challenge help build self-esteem and promote positive thinking. Here are some other suggestions.
