Positive Thinking

July 21, 2008

One of the concepts connected with Law of Attraction is positive thinking.  I choose to think of positive thinking as  being informed perspective.  Constructive positive thought knows facts.  The possible outcomes of those facts may be viewed in a negative or a positive way. 

For example, given the current economic instability you could gather the facts that have a possible influence on your own personal situation and make some adjustments in your living situation accordingly. We have been conditioned to believe that a slower economy is troublesome and we view that negatively.  It is really neither negative nor positive.  It just is.

Informed positive thinking gives you a sense of self empowerment.  You can feel more like a participant in what is happening when you choose how you will use the facts in a way that feels right for you.  Some may see merit in changing some expensive spending habits.  Others may find new ways to earn money.  Perhaps there are other positive outcomes of the change that you can focus on also.  Environmental advantages may be one.    

Are there some situations that are more difficult to shift to a positive and empowered perspective?  Certainly.  The key is to catch yourself slipping into a mode that is not empowering.  You have the ability to make the shift.  You may need some help but you can do it.   

I am interested in your comments.
