Negativity-No Room for it Here!!

Negative people are everywhere!! It's amazing how one person can drag down a whole group! It is very infectious. Sometimes I walk into a room and can feel the negative energy. I truly believe attitude is everything and that what you think about you will attract. Are you constantly worrying about not having any money, your crap job, how you hate yourself, feel like a failure, that your life stinks? You have programmed your mind to think negatively and it will spiral out of control! The power of positive thinking is amazing! I've had alot of ironic situtations where I have concentrated on removing my bad thoughts and all sorts of opportunities have come my way!!




Here are a few actions and tips to help you develop the power of positive thinking:

*Always use only positive words while thinking and while talking. Use words such as, 'I can', 'I am able', 'it is possible', 'it can be done', 'I like myself" and etc.

*Try to disregard and ignore negative thoughts. Refuse to think such thoughts, and substitute them with constructive happy thoughts.

*In your conversation use words that evoke feelings and mental images of strength, happiness and success.

*Before starting with any plan or action, visualize clearly in your mind its successful outcome. If you visualize with concentration and faith, you will be amazed at the results.

*Read at least one page of inspiring book every day.

*Watch movies that make you feel happy.

*Minimize the time you listen to the news and read the papers.

*Associate yourself with people who think positively and are happy!

* Write down your life goals in the present tense. For example: I earn X amount of dollars per year, I own X car, I weigh X amount, I live on a house by the ocean...

*Always sit and walk with your back straight. This will strengthen your confidence and inner strength.

*Walk, swim or engage in some other physical activity. This helps to develop a more positive attitude!!


I copied some of my favorite positive affirmations and hung them up on my door. I try to say them before I leave my apartment in the mornings!

Tree of Life Poem

Love
Trust
Laugh
Listen
Be open
Be sincere
Be creative
Be yourself
Be true to yourself
Trust your instincts
Learn from experience
Read between the lines
Don't repeat mistakes
Do things differently!
Don't make assumptions
Don't jump to conclusions
Don't take things personally
Accept what comes to you each day
Open your eyes--beauty surrounds you
Give without expecting anything in return
Ask for advice but make your own decisions
Stuff happens--it's your response that counts
There is a reason for everything that happens
When you feel defensive, examine what you fear
You must do what you think you cannot
Accept change
Keep learning
Friends are precious
Attitude is everything
Life is short--overcome your fears!

Inspiration for Blog

I recieved an email last week from an old high school friend that will remain anonymous. Here is what she sent me in a facebook message:

Hi Jackie,
I just wanted to let you know, that I find your status' very inspiring and uplifting. I have been struggling with alot of stuff latey and it's nice to read something once in awhile that doesn't make things worse. So, thank you!

I hope everything is well with you and that you had a great birthday! It sounds as if you are always busy up in the cities, hopefully not too busy and you're still able to enjoy yourself.

Thanks again for being inspiring.


These kind words really made my day and are the inspiration/idea of this blog I have created. I had no idea I had this impact on people; I just have realized I need to live in the moment more and be more positive, which is why my facebook statuses are usually focused on the great things in life!

Those of you who know me well and have kept in touch know I have been dealing with my own demons in life for years and this is just one example of how we affect each other on a day to day basis whether it be a smile, an "I love you," a call, text, a hug, kind words, gift, or a listening ear. It's all in your attitude towards life. Too many people wallow in their problems and are more focused on their flaws, weaknesses, and what is wrong in their lives that they are not grateful for what they DO have!! Cherish your imperfections and work on improving your strengths!! Stop feeling guilty and shameful and forgive yourself already!!!! :)

Someone once told me I am like a "skinny Buddha!" hahah ;) Hope you all have a wonderful day!
