Positive Thinking! You Are What You Think!

Chapter 1 “With every minute of anger,

you lose more than just 60 seconds of happiness.”

What you say, what you do,

how you feel,

it all originates in your mind,

and begins with a single thought.

Our thoughts are like seeds,

each thought will bear fruit to create a distinct flavor.

Thoughts can be creative

or destructive,

loving or hateful,

uplifting or destructive.

When we understand and learn to control our thoughts,

we experience peace,

happiness, and inner stability.

Positive thinking teaches us how to act instead of react;

“guide” our lives instead of letting the behavior of others,

past experiences,

or present circumstances dictate our minds.

Have you ever stopped to observe the images

that are present in your mind

as well as the thoughts that you create?

According to calculations,

the average person has about 30,000 – 50,000 thoughts per day.

A stressed mind will generate more thoughts,

possibly up to 80,000 thoughts.

You must have been in a state of nervous tension

because of a sudden event in your life,

at that time there were thousands of thoughts running

through your head.

Our mind has a great capacity

to work non-stop even while sleeping.

As mentioned,

thoughts are the seeds for actions and emotions.

So, by creating positive and healthy thoughts,

we activate our own positive potential.

Your life is the summation of your choices

(whether consciously or unconsciously).

If you can control your choice process,

you can control all areas of your life.

You can find freedom from being responsible for yourself.

Thoughts are fuel for the mind

“Our attitude towards external things depends on

how we think from within.” Park Cousin

Food provides fuel for our body.

If you want to run a marathon,

you need to consume a lot of protein and energy-rich foods

to have enough energy to run a long distance.

On the other hand,

if your body absorbs unhealthy foods,

you can get stomachaches,

feel lethargic and tired.

In the same way,

thoughts fuel the mind.

If you have negative,

useless and wasteful thoughts,

they will drain the mind’s energy.

If you have positive thoughts,

they will “charge” your mind,

leaving you

with enough energy and strength

to face the challenges

and difficulties of everyday life.

According to medical research,

about 75% – 90% of physical diseases are of mental origin,

starting with our thoughts.

Simply put,

the quality of thinking affects the state of health.

What happens to our bodies when we are angry or stressed?

Tight muscles inhibit blood circulation, creating pressure points

– these points cause pain in the body.

Neck pain, shoulder pain,

and headaches are often the result

of stressful or angry thoughts.

On the contrary,

when we create positive and peaceful thoughts in the mind,

the muscles of the body are relaxed,

the oxygen intake decreases,

the blood pressure decreases,

the incidence of heart disease also decreases significantly.

The Associates of Research into the Science of Enjoyment

(ARISE) has confirmed the link

between human sensations

nd chemical reactions occurring in the body.

When participants in the experiment had positive thoughts and felt happy,

the body produced a large amount of antibodies

– antibodies that protect the body from respiratory infections.

They also create natural pain relievers that are considered

to be able to fight cancer,

block the effects of “stress”

and fill the surrounding space

with a source of positive energy.

On the contrary,

when they have negative thoughts

and feelings of unhappiness,

their body responds to that situation

by suppressing immune function,

making the body sluggish

and at high risk of disease.

Our thoughts and relationships

“Take good care of your mind,

pay attention to it,

and you will become your own friend.

No matter where we live

or what language we use,

each of us will be our own friend or foe.

You have a choice:

be your own best friend

or your own worst enemy.” B.K. Dadi Janki

As described, our thoughts are the starting place for forming feelings,

words,

and actions.

Therefore, it is very important to control your own thoughts,

it helps you to control your feelings, words and actions.

We have seen clearly in the previous section

that thoughts have a huge influence on the body.

In addition, it is also a determining factor in the atmosphere

We live in and our relationships with those around us.

Positive thinking makes relationships harmonious

while negative thinking causes conflicts and discord with those around.

Thinking negatively about others will cause our tolerance level to drop,

relationship tension to arise and increase.

One day,

when I admit

that I can only influence others and cannot “control” them,

I will feel a sense of freedom.

I cannot control others,

but I can learn to control my reactions to others.

They may behave badly,

but I have a choice in how I respond to their behavior.

This means that although sometimes we are surrounded

by “negative” people,

we can choose to act positively.

Most of us spend most of our time “reacting”

to other people’s behaviors only to get frustrated,

bored,

and angry when they don’t behave the way we want them to.

If we can accept their opinions

and focus our attention on their good points,

we will be happier

when they are present;

can also have a positive effect on them.

As a result, we begin to accept

that we are the creators of our own thoughts.

When we create happy,

peaceful,

and positive thoughts,

they will spread

and affect those around us.

This is a simple way to share positivity with others.

Like when we throw a stone into the lake

– will ripple and create many spreading waves.

Figure 2 clearly shows the harmful effects of the negative thought “I hate my co-worker”.

Such thoughts strongly influence our lives.

Almost all of us live 8 hours a day at work,

if we let negative thoughts about our colleagues fill our mind,

we will have to spend 8 hours of stressful,

unhappy work.

Creating negative thoughts

about others will make us suffer ourselves.

If you replace negative thoughts

with positive thoughts about the workplace,

you will have more fun.

The same goes for our other personal relationships.

Five main types of thoughts

We have the following five main types of thinking:

Positive thinking:

This kind of thinking is beneficial

to ourselves and to others.

It is thinking with an attitude of optimism,

acceptance and tolerance…

For example, when you look at half a glass of water,

you will see “half a glass with water”

instead of “half a glass without water”,

which means you should Focus on what you have

and be happy with it rather than feeling frustrated about

what you don’t have.

The image of half a glass of water is an image

that symbolizes many things in our lives.

For example, when we look at others,

instead of focusing on their weaknesses,

as many of us often do,

positive thoughts direct us to look at their strengths

and good qualities in their beautiful.

There is a very good saying

that “Eat what you eat”,

which means that we will become

what we hold in awareness.

Keeping the good qualities of others in our awareness,

as well as feeding our mind

with positive thoughts,

will help those good things grow in us.

Similarly, when we keep bringing the weaknesses

and weaknesses of others into our perception,

they will strengthen the weaknesses in us.

Therefore, positive thinking

will make you a lot happier in life.

Negative thoughts:

Thinking that is harmful to oneself and to others.

These are thoughts of anger,

narrow-mindedness,

self-pity

or criticism of others,

discrimination…

Useless Thoughts:

Thinking about the past or things beyond your control such as:

“Why?”, “If only” … including doubts,

regrets, illusions, worries about the past with petty things…

Essential thoughts:

Thoughts to plan your workday:

“I need to see that person at this hour”,

“I have to go there”…

Upward thinking:

Are thoughts based on values, personal

or human qualities

such as peace,

compassion,

cooperation, etc.

These are thoughts that are related

to perceiving the deeper meaning of life,

or the things going on around us.

Upward thinking is concerned not only

with immediate practical problems

but also with the results of actions.

Thinking ahead helps us to have a long-term vision,

not selfish but towards the benefit of all.

We can consciously focus these thoughts

and make them arise in our minds.

Upward thoughts are accumulated gradually

through inquiry into the spiritual life, thinking about the meaning of things,

and observing our actions.

Upward thinking gives us a good feeling

and an energetic life.

With a positive attitude,

we will create an abundant source of energy for ourselves.

*******************

Chapter 2 “With every minute of anger,

you lose more than just 60 seconds of happiness.”

Our minds are often shaped by our surroundings

or how others treat us.

We often say,

“I feel good when others treat me well

and feel bad when they behave badly”.

It means that our mental state is governed

by circumstances

or determined by others.

It seems that our happiness,

our joy,

is determined by external environmental conditions,

is dependent on circumstances.

Really, we cannot control the external conditions such as:

how people behave towards us,

the weather,

the status of work, …

because these things are constantly changing.

If we depend on the external environment,

our mind also fluctuates according

to the external environment.

On the contrary,

if we focus on “defining” ourselves

with positive inner qualities,

we will be more stable and less affected by the “ups

and downs” of the external environment

as well as those of other people. around.

In life, the “roles”

we usually “play”

during the day will easily influence our personality.

The longer we “play” a certain role,

the more we tend to identify

with that “role”.

So, in order to “role” effectively,

we need to remember that it’s just the roles we have to play,

not who we are.

Only then can we use our positive qualities to play our “roles”

without losing our true nature.

If we identify ourselves with the “role”

and let our happiness depend on it,

when we move on to another “play”,

we will feel stress and fear.

If our worth depends on what we have,

it will create a fear of loss,

or we will feel unhappy

when someone has more than us.

And we will also see others with a limited view,

depending on the “role” they are “playing”.

If we know how to identify ourselves

through our egos with positive inner qualities,

we can maintain inner stability,

even when the external environment is uncertain.

We will see others with more understanding,

broader vision and more positivity.

It also creates a deep and lasting self-esteem,

even when criticized by others

or challenged by circumstances.

Keep track of your focus

Start practicing today:

check your thinking levels,

keep your mind focused on the positive

and within your control.

Brahma Kumaris

When I was teaching positive thinking

to a group of female inmates

at a New Zealand prison,

one female inmate told me,

“For you, talking about positivity is easy,

because after

This class you can get in the car and go home

– and we have to stay here!”.

I replied that I had also worked

with many people who had physical freedom,

but who had lost their mental freedom.

They are controlled by other people’s thoughts,

tormented by regrets about the past,

haunted by fears of the future

and even things beyond their control.

Many of them are very rich

and very free physically,

but their minds are filled

with anxiety and fear,

which makes it impossible for them

to enjoy what they have.

I suggested to these women that during the time

when they are physically unable to get out of prison,

they have complete freedom to choose

what they want to experience,

even while they are in prison.

Instead of reacting to what you can’t control,

focus on what you can control and that will make things different.

Some people started doing it

and they changed their attitude

towards the prison guards

and also towards other inmates.

After a few weeks,

the prison guards noticed a change

in the atmosphere in the camp

and the attitudes of the female prisoners

also became more positive and gentle.

Later on, many of them achieved important goals for themselves

such as completing their university studies,

developing artistic talents, etc.

They received support from prison officials

and organized Organized many activities,

including a discussion meeting

with the participation of the current Prime Minister of New Zealand.

Mike George, a management trainer in the UK,

has pointed out that we often have the habit of trying to control others

– physically,

emotionally or mentally,

when it is completely impossible.

According to him, a sign of that wrong habit manifests itself in the fact

that we have feelings of discomfort towards others.

If we know how to accept what is out of our control

and know how to focus on what is within our ability, our mind will be relaxed,

“flying” and no longer have to think much.

A question was asked about this in a survey in the UK:

“What if we kept repeating the same

thoughts about the same things? uncontrollable?”.

Those surveyed answered that,

when they focus on things they can’t control,

they feel stressed,

anxious,

tired,

sad,

and angry…

It is clear that when we learn to focus on

what we can control and what can be done,

we become less stressed,

calmer,

happier,

and happier every value in our life will increase.

Today, in many countries that are facing a shortage of potable water,

advertising programs often remind people not

to let the faucet run idle

or leak to avoid wasting water.

Focusing our thoughts on things beyond our control

is like being in a state of “no-flow faucets”

– all our energy is wasted to the point of exhaustion!

As such, save your energy by checking your “taps”,

don’t let them go to waste.

I recall leading a discussion on positive thinking

with a group of people in New Zealand a few years ago.

Among the group was a couple over 70 years old

who had lived together for more than 50 years.

By the second part of the discussion,

the husband said,

“I wish I had attended this discussion 50 years ago.”

One of the young members in attendance asked him why he said that.

He replied, “I spent 50 years trying to change my wife

and she spent the same amount of time trying to change me.

But as you know, none of us succeeded!”

I asked them how it feels to keep trying to change each other.

The husband replied that he felt angry and frustrated,

while the wife felt frustrated and hurt.

The young members sat in silence for a while,

realizing how much time was “wasted” in vain

when people kept trying to find ways to change each other.

We often think more about the actions of others

and what is going on around us than we look at ourselves.

We forget that we have the power

to choose the thoughts that are created in our mind

instead of blaming others for how we feel:

“I’m sad that this person said this,

that way. that…”.

That can cause stress and sadness

to stay in our minds forever.

In The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People,

Stephen Covey talks about two circles in our lives:

the circle of Influence

– the inner circle, and the circle of Care – outer circle.

The Circle of Influence includes our values, attitudes, thoughts…

The Circle of Care includes the things we cannot control such as weather,

people, economic situation…

As we trying to control the circle of Concern puts pressure

on the circle of Influence,

we will be expended a lot of positive energy

that makes us unable to work effectively.

Instead, we should focus on the circle of Influence

by strengthening our values,

creating positive attitudes and thoughts,

which create waves of positive energy,

which in turn create positive energy affects the Caring circle,

giving us a lot of inner strength to deal

with difficult and challenging situations.

Enrique Simo, a Spanish writer wrote:

“We will become what we think deeply”.

When we focus on what is beyond our control,

our thoughts become negative and these negative thoughts

will flow through your words,

actions and habits and over time.

Time will shape your personality.

Gandhi once asked:

“When you point your finger at someone else,

how many fingers are pointing back at you?”

One listener answered: “Three.”

Think of yourself during an ordinary day:

where did your finger point?

Are you busy with the outside world,

with the behavior of others?

Or do you focus on your reactions to situations?

Control your thoughts

“Your life is a series of results of the choices you make.

There are two ways to live life:

in one way,

nothing magical happens;

in the other,

everything in the world is magical .”-Albert Einstein

If you own a factory and have a production line,

you need a QA person to check product standards.

If quality inspectors don’t care about their work,

some products will fail at some point

when they leave the factory.

We have to be “qualifiers” for our own minds.

We must “filter” each thought that comes to our mind,

and must choose whether to accept

or reject the thoughts that correspond

to each expected action.

We are always thinking, so make sure our “filter” is working effectively

to “check the quality” of each thought

and promptly reject any “unprofitable” thoughts. or “harmful”.

Step 1: Pay attention to what you say and how you react to others.

Examine and change yourself,

not others.

Step 2: If you are having critical thoughts

and reactions to others,

replace them with helpful,

positive thoughts and reactions.

Step 3: Whenever you have negative thoughts about yourself,

others,

or situations,

focus on looking at the good

and positive aspects of yourself,

others,

and your current situation.

Step 4: When faced with challenges,

accept what you cannot change

and focus on finding beneficial

and effective solutions.

Step 5: Record the positive points of everyone around

and practice living well in the same way.

Step 6: Determine that your strengths,

abilities,

and life goals are realistic,

regardless of what might discourage you;

There will be no impact

that can influence you on your way

to self-affirming your inherent happiness.

Step 7: Remember that no matter what happens,

you are completely free

to choose your attitude

and this attitude will determine how you handle the situation.

we want to see change in this world.”-Gandhi

Exercise:

If you treat your mind like a best friend,

how would you treat “that friend”?

1. Can you always have positive thoughts and responses?

2. Name 5 good qualities of a person that you have problems with.

3. Always keep the SOS “trick” in mind!

4. Always be aware that you are an “actor”.

List the positive points that you usually apply

to each “role” in your life.

5. Create positive habits for you.

For example, “see only the good in others”

or “always use positive language”.

Remember to give yourself a choice!

Look for the best in yourself and others!

What happens is not as important

**************

1. The Power of Visualization:

When we lack a positive outlook,

we often visualize difficult situations

and fear we will fail in those situations.

Because there is always a hidden fear

and negative energy in the mind,

when faced with really difficult situations,

those negative emotions

and fears arise and often bring about failure like

what we envisioned earlier.

However, we can completely control our thoughts

and use the power of positive visualization

to create a strong image that we will overcome,

will succeed in any difficult situation.

This is a practice that generates positive emotions

and confidence that helps us succeed in the face of reality.

***************

2. Inner Voice – Make it your friend:

We all have an inner voice: listen to it.

For example, when you are thinking about doing something new

or facing a new challenge,

what kind of thoughts come to mind?

“It can’t be done!

Last time I tried something similar and failed” or “Okay.

Why not try and try my best?”.

The voice within us can be friend

or foe.

It is formed over time and is greatly influenced

by those who have a close relationship

with us – parents,

teachers and later friends.

The good and bad comments

from those around us often affect us throughout our adulthood,

unwittingly shaping our perception of ourselves.

This perception is fundamental

to the way we think

and it determines our level of confidence.

I remember someone I helped deal with stress.

It was a middle-aged man, the director of a large company.

Despite being rich and possessing many possessions,

he still felt unhappy.

He drinks a lot and it is threatening his work efficiency.

When we talked about our childhood,

he told me that his father only loved his brother and kept saying

that he was a useless child

who would not be able to do anything good.

Now, even though he is an adult,

every time he looks in the mirror,

he still says to himself:

“You have done nothing. I hate you!”.

His voice was like an enemy,

making him hate himself.

Talking more,

I discovered that his father is also a person

who is afraid and hates himself.

Understanding that,

he was able to transform the voice in him

from enemy to friend.

Every time the negative voice began to criticize him,

he said to himself,

“Now, let’s see what my helpful friend has to say to me?”.

He turned that voice into a support

and gradually gained confidence,

self-love, and helped himself overcome unhappiness.

Many times, teachers are the people

who have a very strong influence on our self-confidence.

I remember when I was seven years old,

Responding in the choir,

I sang loudly with confidence,

enthusiasm,

passion.

Halfway through the lesson,

the teacher walked up to me and gestured

with her finger to her lips.

There are two interpretations,

one is that I sing too loudly,

the other is that I don’t sing well.

I immediately accepted the second implication as real,

and for many years after that,

I never sang in front of people.

And what do you think,

my voice is like being locked in an iron cage and can’t get out,

if there is,

it’s just a humming sound coming

from a weak throat!

Whether our childhood surroundings make us strong or weak,

building an inner voice encourages

and builds confidence in each of us.

The first step is to listen.

We need to listen to our “inner self-talk”.

If we realize that the voice is criticizing

or discouraging, we need to resolve

to turn it into a supportive,

encouraging voice.

Determination is important

because we very often create a few empowering thoughts

for ourselves

but then don’t care to continue with it.

This is like leaving the door open for weak,

negative thoughts to return.

If we are used to having thoughts like

“I will fail”

or “I have no hope”,

now we need to make a habit of thinking

“I will succeed” or “I am worthy”.

3. See difficulties as lessons:

An important key

to maintaining a positive outlook is the ability

to learn from difficulties,

not to let failure cloud our future or erode our confidence.

If you’ve made a mistake,

take it as a lesson and ask yourself,

“What can I learn from this for the future?”

A great example of this ability is Thomas Edison,

who tried 2,000 different materials in the process

of creating the light bulb.

After 2,000 failed attempts,

his assistant lamented:

“All our efforts are in vain!

We have not learned anything”.

Edison replied confidently:

“We have learned a lot and made a lot of progress.

We now know that there are 2,000 materials

that are not suitable for making light bulbs.”

“It’s not pleasant to be praised,

it’s not unpleasant to be criticized

– an outstanding character needs

to know his own qualities and strengths.”

Relaxation exercises

Taking a few minutes to sit quietly,

relax the body and mind,

we can more clearly observe the thought patterns

that are being created in our mind.

When we sit and relax,

we practice creating positive thoughts

such as peace and happiness.

In this relaxed state,

heart rate,

blood pressure,

thinking speed, and oxygen consumption all decrease.

And so, our mind has a feeling of being “refreshed”,

re-energised.

Cycle of thinking

“Everything in life begins with a thought.”- Noname

– The process of “Perceiving

– Decoding

– Responding” is so rapid

that we rarely stop to discern

and evaluate what we are actually doing,

how our past experiences have influenced us,

to how we understand

and respond to real-life situations.

Each situation is unique

and requires a unique response,

and each situation is not driven

by old response patterns

and what we think we “know” about.

We can use the following table of suggestions

to understand more about this process.

First think of a situation that made you upset,

upset,

or angry and fill in the table.

“We often forget that only we are responsible

for what we do in life,

in the universe and for everything!

No one teaches us to take complete

and absolute responsibility

for our ability to respond,

that is,

for our thoughts,

feelings,

emotions,

attitudes,

and actions.

Self-empowerment can only begin

when we take on this responsiveness.”

The power and effectiveness of thoughts

“The mind is at peace when we fill it

with positive and optimistic thoughts.”- Noname

You are responsible for your own thoughts.

Thoughts have great power.

You create emotions and experiences

by the thoughts you choose to think.

You have the ability

to actively guide your thoughts in a positive direction.

The frequent repetition of positive thoughts builds confidence

and an optimistic attitude.

Thoughts are like seeds planted in your mind.

The more you stick with a particular idea,

the more you water it

Shower more power to that idea.

Positive thoughts give us energy and strength.

Negative thoughts make us lose strength,

make us tired and exhausted.

Believe in what you think is right for you.

You cannot control other people,

nor can you control situations and circumstances.

But you can control what’s going on inside of you.

Your true nature is positive.

Negativity is just the result of wrong thinking.

You can change your negative situation

if you choose the right way of thinking.

Develop the habit of self-observation.

Listen to your inner conversation.

It takes a lot of time to change

and transform old thinking patterns.

So be patient with yourself!

Choose your affirmations

Happiness comes from creating positive

and constructive thoughts

about yourself and others. – Brahma Kumaris.

Affirmation is present in a statement

that you believe,

or that you very much hope to be true.

There are three principles for effective use of affirmations:

° First, always express the statement in the present tense.

Not “I’ll do…” but “I do…”.

° Second, say these sentences in the first person.

In other words,

start all your affirmations

with “I am…”, “I have…” or “I can…”.

° Third, make sure these affirmations are expressed in a definite way,

never in a negative way.

For example, “I’m stress free” instead of “I’m stress-free”.

Your affirmations will work if you often read them aloud during the day.

The more you use it, the faster you progress.

Write it down on a piece of paper and carry it

with you at all times.

It is also possible to paste positive sayings in places

where you can easily see them every day.

Effective use of affirmations means

that you are getting closer and closer

to your desires and goals.

Choose affirmative sentences to strengthen your image.

Pick out of them what feels right to you

and then use the three principles outlined above.

A good way to practice an affirmative attitude is

to choose one of the following every morning

and practice throughout the day

(or a few days until you feel it).

° I like myself.

° I love and accept myself.

° I am willing to part with the past

and completely live in the present.

° I am safe if I take responsibility for my own life.

° I am willing to change

and grow.

° It is now easier for me to part

with my previous negative beliefs.

° I forgive myself unconditionally.

° I am in love,

lovable and loved.

° Every day, by all means,

I strive to be better.

° I relax and let my mind settle.

° I automatically and joyfully focus on the positive.

° I am enthusiastic about life,

full of energy and purpose.

° I’m doing the best I can,

I’m at peace.

° I am only influenced by positive opinions

and positive people.

° My thoughts are peaceful,

calm and focused
