Positive thinking technique provides a great way to master and reap the benefits of positive thinking.
No matter what you do or what your abilities are, just knowing about positive thinking intellectually is never enough. You need some techniques and tools.
For long term and lasting impact, positive thinking must be made a consistent practice in your daily life and routine. And this can be done through the practice of positive thinking technique.
Below are some effective positive thinking tools. Make it a point to use it in your daily life to help you in your development of a positive and empowering mindset.
Affirmations
Affirmations is a really great positive thinking technique. It is easy to do, does not take up much time, and can be done almost anywhere.
All you need to do is to just recite an affirmation that encourages being and living positively.
Make it a habit to do a positive affirmation at a fixed time everyday and whenever you face setbacks and difficulties. Make it a part of your daily routine. Learn more about self affirmations.
Meditation
Practicing meditation naturally calms the mind and relaxes the body.
Whatever tensions or negativity that you may have will disappear after you meditate.
Even by just doing a very basic form of meditation – for example clearing your mind from all thoughts and solely focusing on your breathing, you will put yourself in a positive state of being.
Naturally the more you do it, the more you remain in the positive state and as that happens, positive thinking will become ingrained into your consciousness.
Using NLP
NLP stands for neuro linguistic programming, which is the study of human excellence through the integration of several disciplines including neurology, psychology, linguistics and others.
One of the hallmarks of NLP is that it is able to bring quick change to the practitioner.
NLP techniques and practices can be used to develop positive thinking in your life. The various NLP techniques such as submodalities, anchoring, circle of excellence and timeline can all be used to help you develop the habit of positive thinking.
If you are unfamiliar with NLP, immediately put learning NLP into your to-do list as it has the potential to be a very powerful and invaluable positive thinking resource for you.
Journaling
Another little known positive thinking activity is journaling. Not many people are aware of this, but putting your thoughts down to paper can actually be a very good therapeutic activity.
Journaling changes your perspective and it puts you outside of your head.
You distance yourself from the problem and from your ego. It allows you to look at things from a neutral perspective and things won’t feel so personal anymore.
By putting your thoughts and feelings out there (on paper), you make it much easier to remain positive in difficult times. Positive aspects of a supposed setback can be recognized more easily.
Final thoughts
Just knowing something in theory is not enough; the actual practice to master it is what is vital.
No matter how much theory on positive thinking do you know, or how many positive thinking books you read, it will not be of any use if you do not practice it.
There are no substitutes for practical experience.
So start living a better life by making these positive thinking tools a part of your daily life.
