Eliminate The Negative

Do you want to take life by storm?  If so, then you need to change your outlook on life to POSITIVE.   After sharing some POSITIVE words with someone the other day the comment was made that in "their opinion" negative words seem to linger and have a greater effect than the positive words.   I have shared this with others of like believe and attitude and the consensus was..... "how tragic and sad it is for individuals that allow the negatives of this world to be more dominant than the positive."  Negative thoughts/words are an addiction!  In fact, most experts would agree -

Negative thoughts/words are a thousand times 

more addictive than drugs.

But - just maybe - people don't know "how" to grasp the reality of "choosing" to be POSITIVE and enjoying its rewards.

What is truly required is a change in your mindset.  To start, we first must understand that unfortunately we do live in a negative based society.   It will take effort to focus on removing negative words from your vocabulary, negative thoughts from your mind and constantly being aware of your situations.  We all face negative situations in our lives.  Someone may say something bad about you or a project you've worked real hard on is rejected.  But - our reactions are a choice.

Thinking POSITIVE doesn't work until you get rid of the negative.  

 It is very important to try and not let negative thoughts enter your mind.  Purge existing negative words, thoughts and attitudes.  Then, replace all of the negatives with the POSITIVE.   Concentrate - focus on the elimination of the negative - refill your mind with as much POSITIVE as possible.  If you are having difficulty, start by being thankful.  Affirm positive truths you know to be true - about yourself, your work, your spouse, etc.  Add words into your vocabulary that evoke strength and success.  

One last thought......Don't flip-flop between the POSITIVE person and the negative!  When you feel negativity coming on - remove yourself from the situation and flip to the POSITIVE side - and stay there!
