How To Stay Positive At All Times
What Do You Mean By Positive Thinking?
Are you aware of the power of positive thinking?
Are you always hearing about the power of positive thinking but wondering if it’s truly possible to stay positive all the time?
And what if you are feeling negative?
Is positive thinking just about convincing yourself that everything will be okay and ignoring the negative experiences in your life?
Or is it really as simple as telling yourself ‘Hey, I don’t want to think negative?’
Well, let’s uncover all these questions one-by-one.
📌 Firstly, positive thinking is not a button you press to suddenly switch to feeling positive and happy. It’s a journey of cleansing your own energy. So clearly, the first step is to begin thinking with a pure intention in mind that, “Yes, I am going to focus on the right things in my life.”
⚡ Positive thinking is all about directing your focus consciously on what you want to experience in your life. However, that direction of focus also requires practice. So it is not only about doing it once or twice, it’s about practicing it on a daily basis and pulling out the good things from your day-to-day life.
⚡ Whenever you’re taking a break and have a few minutes to spare to yourself whether you’re drinking some water or you’re going and refreshing yourself, make it a habit to just look at something good that happened in the day so far.
⚡ No matter what part of the day it is, look at all the moments that have passed so far. Maybe even go back to a few weeks, last few months or few years, and recall some good things that have happened to you. This exercise trains your subconscious mind to always think of something good.
⚡ Even if you are experiencing some problems in your life right now- maybe times are tough, maybe you’re not getting the job that you want, maybe the relationship you’re in is not working out, maybe money is a problem and debt is increasing for you- no matter what the issue is, you can always train your subconscious mind to pull out something good from that situation in your life.
⚡ This requires intention. Why are we pulling out something good? Because you need to teach your mind to never stop at the negative and remember that there’s always something good in everything. When you teach your mind to pull out ‘something good’, it starts taking your energy to the vibration where you will observe and attract more and more people around you doing something good for you in some way or the other.
⚡ It is understandable that it’s not easy to think of positive things when things are not going well for you in your life, especially when you are in a crisis situation. But if on a daily basis you start practicing the art of positive thinking, then very soon you will tune your mind to find the positives in even the most difficult situations and because of this habit, you will not want to give up on harsh situations.
Make every day count by using it wisely for your growth and success.
Positive Thinking Is Not About Supressing Emotions
📌 Another thing that one must understand about positive thinking is that it is not about suppressing your emotions. It is not about reassuring yourself that you don’t want to think negative and that everything is okay. Positive thinking is about accepting how you feel.
🍀 In fact, if you suppress your emotions, they will only grow stronger and stronger. So it’s not about suppressing, it’s about acceptance. Acknowledge how you are feeling in the moment, but remind yourself, I don’t want to continue feeling like this- I want to think of all the wonderful things I want to bring into my life.
🍀 For instance, let’s say right now you are having some bitterness for someone. Maybe someone cheated you or hurt you in some way. Positive thinking in this situation is not about ignoring how you have felt. It’s about reminding yourself that this feeling is not going to get me anywhere in my life, I would rather want to feel loved and blessed. I want to be around people who really bring out the best in me. I want people who support me, and I know I deserve such people in my life.
🍀 What you did here is, you shifted from feeling negative about a situation to what is it that you truly expect for yourself.
🍀 Positive thinking is about focusing on what is it that you want in your life. It’s not about ignoring. It’s about reminding yourself, okay, this is how I’m feeling, but I know I don’t want to feel like that for the rest of my life. How do I want to feel instead? This shift of thought creates a shift in feelings. Feelings create a shift in your vibration and vibration will bring about changes in your results.
So if you want to change your results, where do you have to go?
🍀 You have to go back to shifting your thought- from where it all started. But you can’t shift your thought if you don’t acknowledge your feelings.
🍀 So positive thinking is never about suppression of emotions. It’s always about acknowledging how you feel, but then directing your focus towards all that you want to experience, be, and have in your life.
🍀 You are only a positive thinker if you’re expecting good things in your life. If you are mindlessly thinking of taking action, then that is not positive thinking because then you’re opening your energy for unexpected outcomes, specially the unfavourable one’s.
🍀 Positive thinking is about continuing to hold on to the vision of what you want and believing only good will happen out of it. Why? Because all the good and the bad comes from your mind and your energy, and the good part is that both your mind and your energy are in your control. Your feelings are in your control.
🍀 Anybody can make you feel bad, in fact it’s natural to encounter people and situations that will make you feel so, but it’s up to you to decide if you want to stay in this energy of feeling bad or do you want to remind yourself that, “Okay, I accept that this happened with me but I don’t want to continue feeling like this.” Find the good, learn your lesson, forgive someone if you want to and just change your focus to something positive.
The Science Of Positive Thinking: How To Cultivate A Positive Mindset
📌 When you understand the power of your own mind, you understand the science behind energy and vibrations. You begin to allow yourself to hold a positive vision of whatever you want to experience in your life, and that is true positive thinking.
⚡ So anytime you want to work on developing a more positive mindset, make sure you’re very clear about what you want in your life. If you are not, you should make a list of all your goals- all the good things you want to experience.
⚡ And then keep taking action toward your goals expecting the best outcomes.
⚡ A lot of people link having expectations to something as having problems. This implies that you will always face disappointment whenever you will carry expectations around something. All this is negative thinking.
⚡ A positive thinker on the other hand will look at the same situation and say, “I’m going to put in my best efforts, and even if disappointment comes, I will remind myself that maybe this was not the right step, maybe this was a failure. But that does not mean that I’m not going to get what I want.”
⚡ A positive thinker is always looking at solutions and the right steps to make his way out of the situation. That is what positive thinking does to a person. It makes the person want to give their best to every situation.
The Power Of Faith And Mindfulness
📌 Eventually, if you are mindful and are taking all your tasks and responsibilities with the feeling of: “I’m going to give my best, the rest I leave to God”– automatically, you will drop the pressure to perform. Now, you’re not thinking of doing this alone, in fact, you are reassuring yourself that you are working with a higher power and that you will always be divinely guided to do the best.
🍀 This allows you to develop a more positive mindset because mindfulness, faith, and trust in the higher power allow you to never quit, to keep on moving ahead in life with a smile. This is a very important quality of a positive thinker, that no matter how difficult the situation may seem, he would never give up. For him, its an opportunity to reprogram your mind and go deeper into your energy to cleanse your vibration!
🍀 Perceive it as an opportunity for you to go to that next level in your life, which maybe you are not reaching because probably, you are not taking yourself and your goals seriously enough.
🍀 Once you start working toward your goal and developing a positive mindset, you will feel better on a day-to-day basis. The real test is when you’re not feeling good but are affirming: “I’m thinking positive!”. When you do this you create a mismatch. Observe how you’re feeling within and keep working towards cultivating a healthy and positive mindset. Each day is a new learning! Keep observing and growing.
Three Daily Practices For A Positive Mindset
📌 Here are three things that you must adopt in your life to be able to stay positive when a crisis situation comes:
🎯 Always try to find the good in your day
⭐ Never let a day pass without recognizing something positive.
⭐ Is there anything good that you felt or experienced in the day?
⭐ This is a very good way to develop a positive mindset.
🎯 Never end your day without thanking the God and the universe
⭐Express gratitude for any task that you did well during the day- perhaps you submitted a project, performed well at an interview, helped someone, or simply did something productive.

This will start bringing even better things and opportunities into your life.
🎯 Never suppress any negative feeling that comes to you in the day
⭐ Acknowledge it, but tell yourself, “This is not what I want to keep. I want to let go.”
⭐ Keep emphasizing:
✅ “Please let go of this. Let’s focus on what we want.”
✅ “Please let go of anger. Let’s focus on the peace we want to experience.”
⭐ And then, keep reminding yourself that you deserve peace.
✅ “I deserve peace. I deserve happiness.”
⭐ Like this, keep shifting your thoughts and feelings to a more positive one.
You have to play this mind game all through the day. Once you get into the flow, you will realize that you will easily be able to get through the toughest situations in your life.
