Positive Thinking - Staying Up in Down Times

Positive thinking means looking for the good in every situation because there is always good, no matter how bad the event seems to be. Positive thinking is not acting like bad things don't happen.

People who smile when they feel sad, scared or down are not optimists. They disempower themselves in their deceit and pass the negative energy on to others.

People react to underlying feelings more than they do to spoken words. Like energies attract, so positive people attract positive people and positive events--and negative people attract negative people and negative events.

So what do you do when times are down in a sinking economy? Firstly, recognize you make choices about what you think and where you focus. If you spend time consuming media filled with doom and gloom, in actuality, you expand that negative energy for yourself and others.

Take note and you will see that the news is the same every day--only the names and faces change (from time to time). Also note that people who live in communities where no news media exist do not experience crime and its by-products.

I challenge you to refrain from reading, watching or listening to the news for one month. Notice the difference in your productivity. Track your moods and actions. You would be amazed at the number of super wealthy, super successful people who do not read, watch or listen to the news.

By the way, if something major happens in the world you will become aware of all the details that allow you to respond appropriately.

Your life goes where your energy flows. Stop the drain to negativity. Rather than focusing on incoming bad news, empower yourself by focusing on the world--your world--the way you want it to look. Act as though your world already looks that way.

Your world will change with your world view. Your positive outlook will energize you and bring new people and events into your life that support your new perspective. Warning: Your circle of friends will change. Those friends who choose to remain stuck will stay behind as you advance with the flow.

Millionaires grew out of the depression. In hard times 99% of people follow the herd mentality to the slaughter house. Are you in the 1% who step forward and take the risks that lead to glory?

If you don't like the way your world looks, change the way you look at your world.

Nothing can stop you when you choose to be someone who does things you've never done. Discover how to stay on track so you don't derail yourself in Ali Bierman's free ebook What You Don't Know You Don't Know. Grab your free copy now at http://creatingthelife.com/ebook.html
