Nice post. Positive thinking help me a lot, but it is a fact that it doesn't solve all problems. If I hadn't had positive thinking I would have commit suicide for a long time. For me, everything began with positive thinking; then books (especially self-induction from Emile Coué); then Reiki (that litterally saved me) and mindfulness. All those positive techniques lead me to alternatives; what lead me to Steemit :)
