Understanding the Psychology of Positive Thinking You may have heard about positive thinking, but don’t really know enough about to know exactly how it works. Positive thinking can provide many benefits in your life such as improving your health, opportunities in life, the way you relate to others and the way you see yourself.

That doesn’t mean that you should gloss over the obvious, but it does mean that a bad circumstance can be made much brighter than viewing them in a negative way. Some psychologists view positive thinking as how you explain what happens in your life. If you have an optimistic attitude, you’re more likely to explain away bad things that happen by blaming something else for the circumstance. You’re also more apt to view a negative happening as outside the norm or a temp...

Improve Your Life by Changing Your Thinking You really can improve your life by changing the way you think. If you perceive that your life is in a ditch and you think it’s because of all the negativity, it probably is. There are many ways that you can work to change your thinking process and concentrate on the positive things in life. Negative thinking can sometimes become an excuse to live in the rut you’ve created for yourself. You stay on ‘autopilot’ and the world revolves around you rather than taking you up in its excitement, adventures and challenges. It’s safer to stay in that rut. The negative thinking can protect you from the outside world so that you don’t have to interact with people, listen to them and even feel anything that’s happening to you. But, when you replace the negative thoughts with positive ones, you’ll find that you’re enjoying life much more. Even though there might be ups and downs, it’s preferable from the nothingness you experience by neg...

Understanding Your Self-talk Your inner voice can make a huge difference in your happiness, success and productivity.

Listening to your talk and then providing answers can actually be very useful to your well-being. You may get a clue that you’re self-talking if you’re experiencing a wave of negative behavior and feel depressed or that you’re not progressing in your personal or business life.

Tuning in to your self-talk can help you analyze it and then you can begin to correct the negative talks you’re giving yourself. All it involves is periodically pausing and asking yourself, “What am I telling myself at this minute?” This is especially helpful if you do it when you’re anxious or unhappy about something. ...
