The importance of Positive Thought

  • What happens when we think bad about ourselves ?
  • What happens when we tell ourselves that we are rubbish, Useless or not worth anything ?
  • What happens to our self esteem, self worth, self belief and confidence ?

It similar to the connection to the last thing that we hear. If we tell a young child not to do something, we put the information in the child head. Don't run. The thing that the child hears in Run so what does it do. You got it, It runs.

If we tell any one over and over again things like "You are rubbish" etc they will start to believe it. It goes for us to. Over the years we have the choice to say great things to ourselves or we can tell us bad things. If we say great things it boost us up, however the opposite applies.

What makes us say bad things even if we believe it is true. Why do we believe it is to? Have we been told by others that we a rubbish etc? What gives others the right to say such things?

Can we stop talking bad to ourselves? "Yes" The first thing to do it to start to listen to our thoughts. Notice what we say to ourselves.

So if you find yourself talking to ourselves in a way that is not positive. Stop. Tell yourself something fantastic. Even if it feel werid or not true. Who cares if it helps us! Then smile and pat you on the back. Because you are on the first run of the ladder into "The importance of Positive Thought". Go for it give it a go. Have fun with it. See how manytimes you notice. Let me know.

  1. Great stuff. Just bought "What to say when you talk to yourself" by Helmstetter, whilst in the USA ... backs up everything you say!
