A Positive Thinking Exercise by Dyllis Nicol

Thinking positive is one thing we all wish we can do but almost all fail to accomplish. I came across some information recently that struck me as a vital piece of information that needed to be shared immediately.By the end of this article, you would have discovered and have access to a positive thinking exercise that would help you change your way of thinking. The information I stumbled upon, was based on this theme.

"Make a decision from the place you want to be, instead of the place that you are!"

As you all know, thinking positive is a very common problem that most of us fight with every day. I strongly believe what you are about to discover will help all those interested, to finally make that mental shift with their thoughts. How many times have you heard that everything starts with the mind?

Where are you today? Are you thinking broke,living paycheck to paycheck,absolutely hating every minute of your 9-5 stressful day and some with fear that you might get laid off soon! If you don't make a positive change now and stop living in this negative mental state, you will always be in this mental state, and your thoughts might just come true!

Let's say for example,you are living paycheck to paycheck, and a $400 opportunity came up that was guaranteed to make you more money. 10 chances to one you are going to say, I don't have the money. I will buy it when I have it. In actual fact, you will never buy the product because you will never have the money until you change your way of thinking.

On the other hand, if your child had to do a $40,000 surgery,you will not just tell yourself, I don't have the money. You will beg, borrow,tell your story to all who will listen and sympathize with you and have them donate, etc... Believe me you will find a way! So how is this different from the $400?

What would break you free from your troubles today? Would it be for example, a $10,000 income monthly? Then act, and think like you are earning $10,000 a month now and attract it to yourself. If you are making this income, would you think twice about a mere $400 that would make you more money? Of course not!

Did you know that there are people making 10 times more than that in one month? Your homework would be to find them and see how they think and learn what they would do when they face tough situations.

So how do you break free? Let's take a look at this example of a positive thinking exercise.

Have you ever heard of the 4 minute mile story? For thousands of years, people held the belief that it was impossible to run a mile in less than 4 minutes. In 1954 Roger Bannister broke this belief barrier. He achieved the impossible, not just by physical practice, but constantly rehearsing the event in his mind with so much emotional intensity that he created unquestioned references to his nervous system to produce this result. The greatest aspect though is what this did for others, because within one year of Roger breaking the barrier, 37 other runners broke it, and the year after that, 300 other runners did the same thing!

Start acting like you earn the $10,000 monthly now. Fake it, be it and attract it for it to happen.

Get out of your comfort zone! Do you want to stay comfortable and broke or uncomfortable to get what you deserve in life? Your choice!

What has been your own positive thinking experience?

How a routine task like brushing my teeth at night helped me find a way to change a bad habit in an instant!

There are many things we would like to change in our lives and yet it seems like we simply just can't do it. What do you think is the reason for that? Most times we are told that we do not have enough burning desire to make the change. Sometimes we just cannot figure out what that burning desire really means. How much intensity does it involve? When things do not seem to be working out, 97% of us give up so easily and say, “This is so hard” I just can’t do it. However, the other 3% seem to be able to do it easily. How so?

I recently stumbled upon something I have had under my nose for some time now and once I was able to apply firsthand what I learnt, it worked immediately.

I work late into the night doing research or working on my business and sometimes I am so tired that I am falling asleep at the table. When I do get up, I would head straight for bed, at times without brushing my teeth. Horrible and embarrassing isn’t it? Now, I could have easily solved that by brushing before getting deep into my work, however, I like to be fruit snacking or drinking something while I am working.

I began to think that I must get back to the point when I used to brush, floss and rinse at night daily.

Prior to this I had been reading a chapter in a book about beliefs and this next sentence, which is the most important sentence in this article jumped out at me….

“Pain is the ultimate tool in shifting or changing a habit”

A few years back due to my sweet tooth, I had done extensive work to my teeth, namely crowns, wisdom teeth extraction, scaling and periodontics, fillings, deep cleaning. You name it. I was at the dentist office continuously for about 6 months and even though I had dental insurance, I had to spend quite a bit of money on copays. So let’s go back to pain and beliefs. What do you think happened? I remembered all the money I had spent and I started thinking.

What will it ultimately cost me financially, if I don’t let go of this habit? Will I have to repeat these dental procedures all over again?

Can I go through the physically pain of the numerous shots to numb my gum again and again?

Can I really afford the time to take off my business?

If I don’t take care of my teeth properly, it can lead to other medical issues.

By the time I really thought about this and asked my self more questions, I realized that my bad habit had been significantly weakened under scrutiny. I had linked such intense pain to it, that I was able to get rid of the habit for good! Now, I had to replace it with a new habit of course. And guess what! I not only brush my teeth at night again regularly, but I always think of a new idea or a solution when I am brushing my teeth morning or evening. Now, isn’t that amazing how the change occurred in an instant and I found another positive reason to brush!

The funny thing is that when I read the chapter some time ago, I wrote down a few habits that had to change, however, I was not exactly sure how to apply that immense pain to a habit, until I was trying to find a solution for my teeth. In fact thinking more and more about it, makes me realize that I had used this method unconsciously in the past and did not even know it.
