Don't Just Think about Money, Get it

Don't think about the money that you don't have, instead think of the money that you have & what you can do with it.

Thinking more about what you can't do without money, means you are in a negative state of mind. Instead when you focus on what all you can do with the money, you are in the creative moment. A creative moment where you can make the most out of your life is a blessing.

So whenever you feel slow on money or think you have no money, think again. You always have abundance of money, because you have a wonderful brain & that is priceless. It can make you smell & touch intangible things & tangible ones as well.

So Don't think of money, think what you can do with money. Enjoy!!!

On Creating Positive Energy for Positive Change

Despite thinking a lot, I couldn't get through the fact of republishing the content. Enjoy!

Republished from TinyBuddha

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.” ~Buddha

You experience and create all kinds of different energies that affect how you feel and what you accomplish throughout your day. Some energies are powerful and easily recognizable, while others are more subtle and often only intuitively felt. I believe it is fair to say that everything is, in a sense, energy.

The things you say, the things you think, the things you do—even the things you don’t do—all produce energy that impacts you and the people around you. If you work on creating more positive energy, you’ll see improvements in your life and you’ll touch more lives than you thought possible.

So what do I mean by energy?

I like to think of energy as anything that invokes a reaction inside you. In other words, anything that makes you tick, ponder, feel, or react. Energy comes to us in different forms. The chair you’re sitting on, the music you’re listening to, or the book you just finished reading, all provoke some sort of reaction within you.

Take music, for example. How does your favorite song make you feel? What type of energy do you enjoy most from music? If you don’t know what I’m talking about, dig into your iTunes right now and put on a song you love.

Take a break from reading this, close your eyes for the entire song, and see what you feel. Music is one of the most powerful and recognizable forms of energy, which is perhaps why it is grounded in so many sacred traditions. A powerful musician can create the same sensations in many different people.

Becoming Energized!

Music is the easiest way to shift your energy quickly. Athletes often listen to certain songs before games to help channel adrenaline; artists listen to music to help get their creative juices flowing; and many writers write with the help from music.

While music is the easiest way to understand this concept, it is definitely not the only way to become energized.

Often, when I wake up I fling the curtains open and let the sun flood into the room. This is a great way to become energized first thing in the morning. I don’t let rain sap my energy, though. If it’s raining, I try to be fully aware of the beauty before me so it becomes a positive influence, as well.

Maybe I’ll follow a few raindrops down the window or watch the ripples form in a puddle below me. Either way, I’m fully present. I find being present is the most important thing if you want to feel energy in a positive way. When you are here and now, everything is beautiful energy!

How can you obtain energy in a positive way?

Make a list of all the things that make you feel good and use it as a guide as you learn to become energized from a wider variety of things.

If being in nature is something that energizes you, try spending a little more time outdoors. If the sun energizes you, there is a good chance that flowers, trees, and animals will do the same.

Some of the things that bring positive energy into my life include:

• Yoga
• Meditating
• Creative writing
• Keeping a dream journal
• Reading
• Focusing on gratitude

Why focus on positive energy?

Positive energy is contagious. When you constantly take in the positive energy from your surroundings, it will be visible in the outer world.

My good friend Alex is perhaps the best example of this. He is so present that he radiates beautiful energy in everything he does. Everyone recognizes it and everyone loves being around him. They feed off his energy.

I couldn’t begin to tell you how many times people have told me stories about Alex making their day, or making them smile or simply making them feel good. After many late night conversations with Alex, the best piece of advice I can share in terms of this is to be fully in the here and now.

To make room for the positive energy available in this moment, you’ll need to release negative energy you’re holding onto from the past—be it distant or recent.

This can seem like an overwhelming task, but it doesn’t need to be if you focus solely on this moment and ask yourself: What about what I see in front of me makes me feel good? And if I don’t see anything that provides that feeling, how else can I access it?

—

A lot of people think of energy as a spiritual term, like the divine energy of Christ, Buddha, or Krishna. It isn’t necessarily an otherworldly concept. It’s something we create in our day-to-day activities.

If you learn to fully appreciate this moment, you will see you have profound power to manifest positive feelings within—to create divinely inspired energy, if you will, that impacts everything and everyone around you. In this way, we play a much larger part in the bigger picture than we realize.

How do you create and utilize positive energy?

Blessing in Disguise

While life may seem to be filled with hurdles & issues, let's not forget that every problem in life is there to take you further, to take you to the next level. A level beyond availability, beyond opportunities, a level that will be always better for you, better than where you have already been, and that is why every problem is a BLESSING IN DISGUISE.

No matter, how hard the problem, always believe that you have been given that to move ahead in life, so always accept the situation & perceive that the situation is a blessing for you & life will become wonderful.

Go ahead & start Thanking everything you went through as that is what has led you to this moment in life which has to be, has to be, has has has to be, the better moment than what you were back even a day before or even a second ago. So instead of cribbing, start living.

Believe you are worthy!!!

Before you think that you want something ask yourselves are you worthy of what you want? Well, that is a tough question, everyone thinks that they are worthy of all that they want, but they forget that to be worthy you need to be on the same frequency of your being to become worthy of what you want & receive what you want.

The bigger question is how to become worthy? Well, the easiest answer is believe, but to believe that you need to work hard & work as hard as possible to get what you want or should I say become worthy of what you want. 

Worthy of Money: To become worthy of money, you need to stay happy about spending money & enjoying all the money you give or get & thus you can become worthy of money.

Worthy of Relationships: To become worthy of relationships, start appreciating all the relationships you have, despite all the problems you may have & once you do that all the happiness & the blossom in relationships comes your way.

So go ahead & become worthy.

Positive Thinking Isn't a Substitute for Positive Action

Republished from Huffingtonpost

(Image Credit: ShutterStock)

Positive thinking is a valuable tool that can help you overcome obstacles, deal with pain, and reach new goals. The benefits of looking on the bright have been clearly documented. Research studies have discovered that optimistic people tend to enjoy increased marital satisfaction, better physical health, and higher incomes.

All the buzz about the benefits of positivity however, has led to some misunderstanding about the concept of positive thinking. Unfortunately, misconceptions about positive thinking could be harmful.

Positive Thinking vs. Unrealistic Expectations
"Focusing on the positive" becomes self-destructive when people establish unrealistic expectations. Just like it's not healthy to think overly negative thoughts, exaggeratedly positive thoughts can be equally detrimental. If you overestimate how much of a positive impact a particular change will have on your life, you may end up feeling disappointed when reality doesn't live up to your fantasy.

Sometimes people imagine reaching their goals will lead to unlimited happiness. By saying things like, "I'm going to focus on all the positive things that will happen when I lose weight -- I'll have more friends, earn more money, and be able to meet the person of my dreams," an individual romanticizes the fruits of her labor. Realistic expectations, rather than overly optimistic ones, are most helpful in attaining goals.

There's even research that suggests thinking too positively about your chance of success may decrease your motivation to achieve your goals. A study published in theJournal of Experimental Social Psychology found that the most positive fantasies about the future predicted poor achievement. When people imagined an idealized future, they actually had less energy and motivation to turn that fantasy into a reality.

Positive Thoughts Don't Possess Magical Powers
Somewhere along the line positive thinking seems to have been confused with magical thinking. There's a notion that if you think positively enough, you can make anything happen by using the power of your mind. All the positive thinking in the world won't deliver good fortune or prevent tragedy from striking.

When someone says a job interview didn't go well, his family may respond by saying, "Think good thoughts," as if thinking he'll get the job will somehow influence the interviewer's decision. Although positive thinking certainly serves many purposes -- like helping us cope with tough circumstances -- optimism doesn't change the reality of a situation.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't hold out hope or look on the bright side. But deluding yourself into believing, "If I think positively enough, everything will work out," isn't realistic. Idealism doesn't prevent problems.

Positive Thinking Can't Replace Positive Action
Hopefully you wouldn't get into a car and say, "I'm not going to wear my seatbelt today. Instead, I'm just going to think positively about arriving at my destination safely." But, that's exactly how many people go about their lives. They seem to believe that positive thinking will make good things happen.

A business owner may say, "I'm just going to think positively about our revenue for the second half of the year," or a student might say, "I'm going to ace my exam." If they stop short of combining their positive thinking with positive action, they won't see any positive results.

Overconfidence isn't the same as healthy positive thinking. Overestimating your ability to reach your goals could prevent you from taking the necessary steps to set yourself up for success. As a result, your "positive thinking" could backfire and leave you feeling unprepared for the reality of the situation.

Establish a Positive Yet Realistic View of the World 
Certainly optimism and hope serve very helpful purposes. But there should be a balance between positive thinking and willfully deluding ourselves into believing everything will be perfect. Here are some strategies to help develop a "realistic yet optimistic" outlook:

• Don't underestimate the effort required to achieve success. Thinking positively doesn't mean you have to ignore the hard work required to reach your goals. Instead of thinking, "I'm going to become the best," try thinking, "I'm going to work hard to do my best."
• Anticipate the obstacles you're likely to encounter along the way. Thinking, "Nothing will ever stand in my way," may cause you to overlook the realities you'll likely encounter. It's unlikely that you'll get to where you want to be without hitting any bumps in the road. Be willing to acknowledge the challenges that you'll likely face and accept that success may require many failed attempts before you get there.
• Resolve to maintain a positive attitude despite the outcome. Instead of thinking, "I'm going to win," remind yourself that you can choose to have a positive attitude whether you win or lose. Healthy positive thinking is about making a conscious choice to be positive about your life right now. Instead of focusing solely on what you need to make your life better in the future, consider all the things you have to be grateful for right now.

Hopefully, positive thinking is just one of many tools you possess to help you reach your goals. But if your entire plan for the future rests solely on imagining an optimal outcome, you may be disappointed. Combine positive thinking with positive action and you'll be more likely to get positive results.

Switchwords For Money Wealth Success (Very Intense)

Introduction: Why Money is Important

Republished from sevencounties

What is this whole business of making money about? How much money do you really need? The answers to these questions depends on your lifestyle and what your material needs are. It is often said that money is not the most important thing in the world. For many people, however, it is right up there next to air in importance. These are not necessarily overly-materialistic people. Rather, they simply understand the true value of money. Money, in and of itself, is not very spectacular. What money can do for you is what is really important. Money gives you freedom and choices. 

You can decide where and how you want to live when you have a good income or financial resources. On the other hand, when you do not have much money, choice may be something that you cannot afford. The choices available to you may not really be choices at all.

Obviously, you need money to cover your basic expenses: food and shelter. Beyond that, how much money you need will be determined by what kind of life you want for yourself. Most people want a middle class lifestyle. What it means to be middle class varies from source to source though. The general consensus is that families with an annual income of roughly $50,000 belong to the middle class. 

This places these families between the wealthy and the so-called "working" or lower class. Those in the middle class typically have adequate access to education as well as goods and services. Also, middle class people generally can afford to own property and have a fair amount of discretionary income. That is, they have disposable income or money that is not allocated solely to satisfying basic needs. The middle class is associated most closely with the idea of the "American Dream."

So, how do you get money? The best way to achieve your financial and lifestyle goals is to prepare yourself for a good career. And, the best way to do that, in general, is to get a good education. U.S. Census data shows that college-educated people earn almost twice as much as those without a degree. Your decision about what career path to take should not be solely driven by money, however. Ideally, your career should involve work you find interesting and which you can identify with. Working just for a paycheck is to have a job, not a career.

Freeing Yourself to Receive Abundance of Money

Re-published from mindreality

One of the secrets of manifesting wealth is the acceptance of energy in the form of money for the energy that you put out. If you have resistance towards the idea of having to pay for something or towards others asking for payment, then you are limiting yourself from receiving money for anything that you do, since you think you should be providing it for free. This is a reason why many people remain poor financially when they could gain a lot monetarily for what they have to offer. They’re limiting themselves.

The truth is everything is available for free. No one actually owns anything because it is all part of the universe. Ownership is an idea where people agree what belongs to who and what rights do they have regarding it. Ownership of anything is all based on agreement between consciousness. When there is conflict of consciousness, people fight and take from each other by force against the will. When there is harmony of consciousness, people willingly agree in sharing or exchanging ownership of things.

The purpose of business is in the organization and promotion of things. When we buy a bottle of water, we are not paying for the bottle or the water because nature supplies the water and what the bottle is made up of. We are paying for the work done in obtaining the raw materials, putting them together, marketing it and handling it to us. All these takes work and therefore those that do all the work for us so that we can experience such things without doing any of the work, receive money in exchange.

Money is only an idea to represent how much value you have provided for others. That is why ill gotten gains do not last because the universe is always reflecting what you do. When you take money without providing real value, money will be taken from you without giving you real value. When you provide lots of value for others, you are meant to receive lots of money so that you can use it to receive value from others that is yours to rightfully experience. Then you are better able to provide even more value.

How to Train Your Brain to Stay Positive

Republished from positive

“Having a positive mental attitude is asking how something can be done rather than saying it can’t be done.”
Bo Bennett

“To avoid situations in which you might make mistakes may be the biggest mistake of all.”
Peter McWilliams

“We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.”
Anais Nin

One of the very first things I started to work on consciously with my own personal development was to improve my outlook on life.

It was over 10 years ago that I started to delve into this topic and to step by step – and while sometimes tumbling backwards – build a more optimistic outlook.

An attitude that would over time become more and more stable so that I could not only look at the world in a positive way during good days. But also so I could stay positive and constructive even during tough times and keep working towards something better.

In this article I’d like to share 11 of the best, smartest and most effective habits for doing so that I have learned during over more than a decade.

I hope you will find something helpful here.

1. Find the optimistic viewpoint in a negative situation.

One of the simplest but most effective ways to build a more positive outlook has in my experience been to ask more helpful questions as often as possible.

When I am in what seems like a negative situation – maybe I have made a mistakes, I have failed or stumbled in some kind of way – then I like to ask myself questions like:

• What is one thing that is positive or good about this situation?
• What is one opportunity within this situation?

Doing so is a whole lot better than what I used to do in such situations. Because back then I usually asked myself how much I sucked and how things could get even worse now.

I do however not always use these questions right away. Oftentimes I need a bit of time to process the thoughts and feelings that arise in situation before I can do that. Trying to force optimistic thinking when you are still in an emotional turmoil or a bit shocked usually don’t work that well.

2. Cultivate and live in a positive environment.

Who you choose to spend your time with and the input you get from further away like the TV, the internet and magazines will have a huge effect on your outlook.

To be able to stay positive it is essential to have influences in your life that support you and lift you up instead of dragging you down.

So carefully consider what you let into your mind.

You can for example ask yourself:

• Who are the 3 most negative people I spend time with?
• What are the 3 of most negative sources of information I spend time on?

Consider the answers. Then think about how you can start spending less time with one of those people or information sources this week.

And how you can spend more of the time you have now freed up with one of the most positive sources or people in your life.

3. Go slowly.

I have found that when I go too fast, when I try to think, talk, eat and move around in my world really quickly then things don’t go too well.

Stress builds up. Negative thoughts about just about anything start to well up and I feel like my own personal power decreases.

But if I slow down just for a few minutes – even if I have to force it by walking, talking and eating slower – then my mind and body calms down too. It becomes easier to think things through clearly again and easier to find the optimistic and constructive perspective.

4. Don’t make a mountain out of a molehill.

It’s very easy to lose perspective, especially if you are stressed and you are going too fast.

And so a molehill can become a big and terrifying mountain in your mind.

A simple three step way to handle these situations so they don’t get out of hand is to:

• Say stop. In your mind, shout “STOP!” or “NOPE, we are not going down that path again!” as soon as thoughts of this kind starts to spin in your head.
• Breathe. After you have disrupted the thoughts by shouting stop sit down and just be still. Breathe with your belly and focus on just your in-breaths and out-breaths for a minute or two to calm your mind and body down.
• Refocus. Question your mountain building thoughts by talking to someone close to you and getting a more grounded perspective on the situation by just venting or by getting his or her input. Or simply ask yourself this to widen your perspective and to chill out: Will this matter in 5 years? Or even 5 weeks?

5. Don’t let vague fears hold you back from doing what you want.

Sometimes you may want to take a chance in life. Start a new habit that feels unfamiliar, your own business on the side or ask someone out for a date.

A common trap when you want to do one of those things is to get lost in vague fears about what could happen if you actually took action.

And so the mind runs wild fueled by fear and it creates nightmare scenarios.

I know. I have been there many times.

So I have learned to ask myself this: honestly, what is the worst that could happen?

When I have figured that out I also spend a bit of time on trying to figure out what I could do if that that often pretty unlikely thing happens.

I have over the years discovered that the worst thing that could realistically happen is usually not as scary as the nightmare my fear-fueled mind could produce.

Finding clarity in this way doesn’t take much time or effort and it can help you to avoid much mind made suffering. And help you to get going, step outside of your comfort zone and take that chance.

6. Add value and positivity to someone else’s life.

What you send out you tend to get back from the world and the people in it.

Not from everyone. And not every time.

But what you send out there matters a whole lot.

What you give them and how you treat them is what you’ll get back. And they way you treat others and how you think of them also tend to have a big effect on how you treat and think about yourself.

So give value and spread the positivity by for example:

• Helping out. Lend a hand when moving. Give a friend a ride in your car. Or if he or she needs information then help out by checking it up on Google or asking a friend of yours.
• Just listening. Sometimes people don’t want any direct help. They just want someone to be there fully and listening as they vent for a little while.
• Boosting the mood. Smile. Give hugs when appropriate. Play uplifting music when hanging out with a friend or suggest an inspiring movie for your movie night. Or encourage when someone has had a bad day or are going through a tough time.

7. Exercise regularly and eat and sleep well.

This is very obvious of course.

But I know the big, big impact a good night’s sleep or good workout can have when my thoughts are pessimistic and I have a lot of tensions on the inside.

And I know how much simpler it is to think clearly and optimistically when my belly is not empty.

So I highly recommend being careful about these basic habits that may sound boring. Because they do have a huge effect either way depending on how you manage them.

8. Learn to take criticism in a healthy way.

One of the most common fears is the fear of criticism. It can hold people back from doing what they want in life. Because having negativity flowing out of someone’s mouth or email and it being about you can hurt. And being rejected can sing quite a bit.

But if you want to take action on what you deep down want then criticism is pretty much unavoidable. So the key is learning to handle it in a healthier way. By doing so your fear of it will lessen and it will hurt less if you do get criticized.

I usually use four steps when I get some criticism. Maybe they can help you out too:

• Step 1: Don’t reply right away. When you are angry, upset or riled up then is time to calm down a bit before you reply. Take at least a couple of deep breaths or a little time to process the message before you respond.
• Step 2: Really listen to the criticism.Try to remain open and level-headed and figure out how this message can help you. Ask yourself: Is there one thing I can learn from this criticism? Is there something here that I may not want to hear but could help me?
• Step 3: Remember that the criticism isn’t always about you. Some criticism is helpful. Some is simply attacks or someone lashing out because they are having bad day, year or job. To lessen the sting of such criticism – often really angry or overly critical in an unconstructive way – I try to be understanding. I think to myself that this person might not be feeling so good at the moment.
• Step 4: Reply or let go. No matter the content of for example an email I try to keep my reply level-headed and kind. I may add a question or two to get more specific feedback that is helpful. And if they don’t reply or I have simply gotten a nasty attack then it is time to delete it and to let that situation go.

9. If something still gets under your skin then know what to do.

Sometimes something can still get under your skin and hurt you. Even if you use the steps above.

Two things that have helped me with that challenge are:

• Let it out. Just letting that issue out into the light talking it over with someone close can be very helpful to see it for what it actually is. And to find a healthier perspective on the situation.
• Improve your self-esteem. I have found over the years that with a stronger self-esteem things drag me down less and they don’t ruin my day as much anymore. Negativity from others  bounces off me much more often instead. If you want to practical help with this then have a look at my 12-week, step-by-step Self-Esteem Course.

10. Start your day in a positive way.

How you start your day usually sets the tone for the rest of your day.

So be careful about how you spend your mornings. If you get going at full speed, lost in future troubles in your mind then the stress, perceived loss of power of over your life and negative thoughts will ramp up quickly.

If you on the other hand start your day by moving slowly, by having an uplifting conversation with your family or friend or you spend some time with reading or listening to inspiring and helpful articles or podcasts over breakfast or during your bus ride to work then that can make a big difference for how your whole day will go.

11. Mindfully move through your day.

When you spend your time in the present moment then it becomes so much easier to access positive emotions and to stay practical about what you can actually do about something in your life.

When you get lost in the past or future like so many of us have spent a lot of time on doing then worries very easily become bigger. And failures and mistakes from the past being replayed over and over in your mind drag you down into pessimism.

By moving slowly through your morning and hopefully through much of the rest of your day it becomes easier to mindfully stay in the moment you are in.

Another simple way to reconnect with the moment in you are in and to put your full attention there again is to focus just on what is going on around you right now for a minute or two with all your senses. See it. Hear it. Smell it. Feel the sun, rain or cold wind on your skin.

It might sound like a small and insignificant thing to do. But this simplifying reconnection with the moment can have a very positive effect on the rest of your day.

Why You're Not Attracting Money + What To Do About It

Republished from MindBodyGreen

I’m sure that after you heard about the Laws of Attraction, you were eager to start manifesting millions of dollars so that you could buy a Corvette and go riding off into the sunset with some amazing partner that just happened to walk into your life.

Am I right? Maybe not about the Corvette!

However, if you’re like 99% of people who have tried to use the Laws of Attraction, you probably gave up a couple days after setting your million-dollar intention because it didn’t seem to be working for you.

Why didn’t it work? You most likely forgot to ask yourself the most important question before trying to manifest money:

"How do I want to feel when I have more money in my bank account?"

Do you want to feel free, secure, and joyful?

If your intentions are not manifesting into your reality at warp speed, it’s because you’re not feeling free, secure, and joyful in the present.

Maybe you have tons of bills to pay, and you don’t know how you’re going to come up with the money. Therefore, you walk around thinking about how you don’t have enough money and what’s going to happen to you if you don’t get the money. This thinking fuels an uncomfortable feeling state that attracts more debt instead of your intention to attract more money.

You can try to change your thoughts, set intentions, or repeat affirmations all day, but if you don’t truly feel that freedom, security, and joy that you want to experience more of, your manifestations will fall flat.

The law of attraction is simple. Like attracts like. It’s not like most people want to believe: Thoughts, intentions, and desires attract material possessions.

The way you feel is what does the attracting. Your feelings are placing your order to the universe’s catalog of worldly possessions. If you set the intention to have more money, but are feeling lack, you’re putting an order in to feel more lack. Therefore your intention to get more money won't be fulfilled. You'll actually be delivered more of the circumstances that give you the feeling of lack.

It’s simple: you will attract more of the circumstances that make you feel the way you're currently feeling.

So, the next question is always the same: How do I change the way I feel to attract more money?

There’s a two-step process to shift your feeling state to attract more of what you want.

1. Find the source of your uncomfortable feelings.

Every feeling originates from a thought.

When you get the bill in the mail, a thought passes through your mind that causes you to feel a pang of dread. What is the thought? Do you think about losing your home, having to borrow money from your family, not being able to afford your vacation?

It's very important to uncover the thought that triggers the uncomfortable feeling. If you don’t uncover the thought, it's sure to arise again and continue to cause you to feel unwanted feelings in the future. It really is a vicious cycle.

2. Open up.

When you uncover the thought, you now have the healing opportunity to investigate your thought and to open up to more possibilities.

The thought that triggered your uncomfortable feeling most likely is a worst-case scenario thought. If you continue believing that the worst-case scenario is the only possibility, you will continue to feel uncomfortable feelings.

However, if you’re able to image different scenarios that could possibly lead to a more comfortable resolution, the ensuing hope will help shift your feeling state to attract more of what you actually want.

Remember, there are infinite ways to resolve a situation. Even though you’re used to believing that the worst-case scenario always becomes your reality, the best-case scenario has the same potential to come true as the worst-case scenario. They are both imaginary thoughts about the future waiting to be born into reality. You’re the one who tips the scales in the direction of favorable resolution or unfavorable resolution.

When you investigate your thoughts and open up to new possibilities, you are in control of your feeling state. This gives you the power to instantly change your feeling state and align with the vibration of the feelings that you actually want to attract. When you’re feeling abundant, you’re going to have to get a bigger piggy bank to put all that money in that you attract.

The Power of Thoughts!

By Joseph Cutcher III
from Toledo, OH

If you want to know about an experience that forever changed my life in a positive way and brought me what I wanted from girls and from my appearance then welcome :)

It's a hard when your standing on the bleaches of your school at the age of 14 and this random girl looks at you and says you�re ugly. It's worse when you believe it. 

Until...

I found a website while I was searching for affirmations that taught me by far the most important thing I could have ever learned is to believe in oneself. The details I think are important here and this is what it told me

1) An Affirmation is a thought about yourself or anything else that is having more of an impact on you than you realize

It said that whenever you think, hear, or say things with "I am" or "I can" or "I will" you are making a self-fulfilling prophecy. Whenever you say anything of this nature you are unconsciously working to fulfill that goal. So it is important to mind what you think of yourself. I wanted to believe what it said, that just by changing my thoughts I could change my world I cried because it was such a big thing to me and I wanted to hold to it dearly and believe it sooo much that I gave it a try as best I could.

From that moment on I told myself "From now on whenever I think a thought that is negative about my self image I will replace it with I am cute, I can be cute, and I will be cute much sooner than I think I will." That's what I did for two weeks straight. Whenever I thought about something bad about myself I forced the other thought in and thought only about that until I felt that the old feeling and thought had been replaced. I had to do it over and over again but to me this was life or death important.

And two weeks later the most amazing thing happened to me that I will never forget with every fiber of my being. A random girl walking by turned around and said out loud "Hey he's cute." I looked and my mouth dropped because Never out of 16 years of my life has anything like that happened, not even a Compliment (parents but that's a given) and here it was right in my face right before my eyes. I leaped with joy and went home screaming at the top of my lungs it worked! It worked! It worked! It pulsated through my body like a surge of absolute joy and astonishment because magic just happened before my eyes.

Never again will I believe you do not have control of your life. Not now, not 
Ever because I will never forget what happened that day.

There you have it, my most prized story of all. 

I will add that after that I wanted to be Hot instead of just cute, and this was before I found The Secret. After it, I wanted to be Casanova hot and it took me 4 years to figure that one out. I tried the affirmations again but they didn't work and tried my thoughts but it didn't work. It cast doubt on me and in turn that sent my life crashing down in home, finances as well as the relationships I did have. 

I found the key to all of this though in my quest, and I did get the Hot I was looking for and so much more. When I found the key not only was I hot in the opinion of everyone who's voiced one but all the suddenly the night of finding that girl, guys were flooding all over me! It was like a dream come true haha.

So what�s the key? You must BELIEVE what your saying to yourself, or else the positive words and thoughts you are thinking are just hollow words, and nothing more. Look into the mirror and find reasons to love yourself, and don't just find them Love them! Actually Love yourself, feel that love and know that all is well and your there. Love your body because you have it - you don't have to work out, just look in the mirror and love you for you, where you are at that moment in time and the deed is done!

One thing that�s important to remember is your feelings. If your thoughts aren�t in the right place, if you feel negative emotion, even if you think the thoughts you want, you are in ALL cases attracting that which you do not want and NOT getting what you do want, it is that simple. 

When I thought bad things about myself and replaced it with I am Cute, initially I believed I was ugly, but I wanted this to be true so much that I let go of that thought and that belief and repeated those words. I wanted to believe them so much that I thought of nothing else and ignored what I really thought, until I felt better and no longer had the negative thought in my mind. I love you all, Good Bye :)

Positive Approach

Positive thinking: Stop negative self-talk to reduce stress

Republished from MayoClinic



Positive thinking helps with stress management and can even improve your health. Practice overcoming negative self-talk with examples provided.

Is your glass half-empty or half-full? How you answer this age-old question about positive thinking may reflect your outlook on life, your attitude toward yourself, and whether you're optimistic or pessimistic — and it may even affect your health.

Indeed, some studies show that personality traits like optimism and pessimism can affect many areas of your health and well-being. The positive thinking that typically comes with optimism is a key part of effective stress management. And effective stress management is associated with many health benefits. If you tend to be pessimistic, don't despair — you can learn positive thinking skills.

Understanding positive thinking and self-talk

Positive thinking doesn't mean that you keep your head in the sand and ignore life's less pleasant situations. Positive thinking just means that you approach unpleasantness in a more positive and productive way. You think the best is going to happen, not the worst.

Positive thinking often starts with self-talk. Self-talk is the endless stream of unspoken thoughts that run through your head. These automatic thoughts can be positive or negative. Some of your self-talk comes from logic and reason. Other self-talk may arise from misconceptions that you create because of lack of information.

If the thoughts that run through your head are mostly negative, your outlook on life is more likely pessimistic. If your thoughts are mostly positive, you're likely an optimist — someone who practices positive thinking.

The health benefits of positive thinking

Researchers continue to explore the effects of positive thinking and optimism on health. Health benefits that positive thinking may provide include:

• Increased life span
• Lower rates of depression
• Lower levels of distress
• Greater resistance to the common cold
• Better psychological and physical well-being
• Reduced risk of death from cardiovascular disease
• Better coping skills during hardships and times of stress

It's unclear why people who engage in positive thinking experience these health benefits. One theory is that having a positive outlook enables you to cope better with stressful situations, which reduces the harmful health effects of stress on your body. It's also thought that positive and optimistic people tend to live healthier lifestyles — they get more physical activity, follow a healthier diet, and don't smoke or drink alcohol in excess.
