POSITIVE THINKING - A POWERFUL MINDSET.

According to my research work, i find out that positive thinking is about much more than just being happy or displaying an upbeat attitude. Positive thoughts can actually create real value in your life and help you build skills that last much longer than a smile.

Positive thinking doesn't mean that you keep your head in the sand and ignore life's less pleasant situations.

Positive thinking just means that you approach unpleasantness in a more positive and productive way. You think the best is going to happen, not the worst.

Part of cultivating a positive mindset is to make sure you are doing all the little things that will help support where it is you want to go and what it is you want to do.

No amount of positive thinking can replace good habits or daily practice. So put them in place as daily essentials, so you can then focus your efforts elsewhere.

If you can count on yourself to have the right habits in place, you will free yourself to focus and work on more ethereal concepts--such as positive thinking and risk taking.

The benefits of positive emotions don't stop after a few minutes of good feelings subside. In fact, the biggest benefit that positive emotions provide is an enhanced ability to build skills and develop resources for use later in life.

Positive thinking often starts with self-talk. Self-talk is the endless stream of unspoken thoughts that run through your head.

These automatic thoughts can be positive or negative. Some of your self-talk comes from logic and reason.

Other self-talk may arise from misconceptions that you create because of lack of information.

If the thoughts that run through your head are mostly negative, your outlook on life is more likely pessimistic.

If your thoughts are mostly positive, you're likely an optimist — someone who practices positive thinking.

Another thing is training your mind to think positive can be achieved by leveraging a simple concept.

Your mind has enough bandwidth to only focus on one thought at a time.

All you have to do is keep it focused on uplifting thoughts until you form the same types of neural pathways that are created when you establish a new habit.

Part of cultivating a positive mindset is surrounding yourself with people that do the same.

Regardless of whether or not they are successful or good at what they do, remember that their mindsets will begin to rub off on you by default.

So don't just look for people that are skilled--look for people that embody the qualities you too strive to embody.
