Positive Thinking really works

When i was younger I was always such a negative person. I was hateful, angry, bitter, sad, depressed, dissilusioned, and generally just unhappy with life. i was a pessimist and I expected the worst and had an general outlook of selfishness.
Then one day I was smacked in the face by life, and realized that I had brought some of the negativity upon myself. I realized I have to make myself happy, and that no one and nothing can do it for me. I also realized I was rejecting my own spirituality. So i dropped everything and looked deeply into myself. I really thought for a while. This was a turning point in my life.
Today, I'm a very happy positive person. I'm doing better than ever. I'm happy. I'm actually happy. I'm working hard, enjoying life, and just going with the flow.
I've noticed from experience that positive thinking really does work, as well as the Law of Attraction; that if you're positive, positive things will come your way. I'm not sure how its possible and how it works out, but it just works.
My life has really turned around since a year ago, and my life has totally changed. I'm happy, strong, and independent. I am positive and don't let things bring me down. I constantly focus on learning and bettering myself, and above all else, not letting life drag me down, but to lift me up.

Very nice and inspiring post, thank you. Here is wishing you and all other forum friends a very happy and prosperous new year.

Everything is energy. If you feed good energy, you get good energy in return.

This can be hard to see at first, because most people have a huge backlog of negative energy they must work off despite their new found awareness. This will cause a few bumps along the way and is to be expected.

Persistance will pay great dividends here.

That's very true. I think people just tend to build up negativity slowly, and it creeps up on them. At least thats how it happened with me. I don't remember any pivitol moment, just a lot of bad shit happening in my life that built up over time.
Just realizing that it was holding me down took away a lot of its power over me. Once I really thought about it, I was able to quickly shed off all the old negativity.

 

I dig this post, I agree about the whole positive thinking thing, we need positive thinking, positive actions, positive vibrations...

With all that, you can't lose!

 

My friends have this little acronym we use whenever we are feeling down...it comes from a singer we all like who got it from a Bad Brains song.. its P.M.A. which is Positive Mental Attitude...this simple acronym has made such a great impact on each of us that we just spread it to everyone we meet....its like a virus of positivity... its really really fantastic actual...just three letters...and a total change of disposition...

"It became apparent to me that life was all about attitude and that in thinking and taking positive action you could create and do almost anything." -Jesse Malin

 

We can even create positive energy for ouselves and others with our attitude and actions.

 

I've noticed that when I'm in a bad mood, if I just act cheery, I tend to cheer up. I try extra hard to be happy, and eventually, I am.

 

Positive energy is also good for those around you. But opposite energies do attract, so it can become a constant struggle to remain positive. Most times I am content with seeing all sides of a situation and weighing both sides. Doing so usually helps me find a balance and allows me to remain mood-swing free. In reality, perception is what you make it.

I am enjoying the good vibes and people here.

 

TRUE. Ive been so depressed for the last couple of years. Ive been doing a lot of soul searching lately and contemplating the universe and the meaning of life. For the past couple weeks, with a lot of inspiration from this forum, i have had a complete turnaround in attitude. Basicly, life was not going how i wanted it to. So... what did i do... i realized i am the only one that can change this. "Live the life you love, love the life you live." We are so insignificant in the grand scheme of things. The most we can do is stop worrying and do exactly what we want to do in this life to make it as fullfilling, joyous, fun, happy, exciting, loving, that we can. Never have a dull moment. If you want something, go out there and get it. Ahhh, just writing this makes me so happy.

Well just wanted to express my opinion.
Peace.

 

all true folks


short story cause its bedtime

a few years ago, i spent a year in an outpatient group for mental health
5 days a week, 5 hours a day
this programe had run for several years with about 8 suicides a year

then they started well being group session everyone had to say something
positive, even if it was i got out of bed and had a shower this started a few years before i got there it made the day very positive

this hospital based program has had no deaths since about eight years now

 

awesome! I know at my foster home they did the same thing, and while some were resistant, overall it did help. For example; at my group home, we had this lovely lady as one of our staff; she'd bring a box full of clothes, perfumes, jewelery, etc. that people gave her. Then we'd all sit in a circle and talk about something positive, and then we'd get a goodie from the "Lucky Dip Box".

 

i realise this thread may be dead

it has been a few days

i wanted to add that giving yourself or
others a heightened, but false sense of security
or self esteem won't work

it makes people fall harder when it comes to
the crunch
