10 Rules To Help You Think Positively.

1) Believe:
You cannot pretend to be a positive thinker; you need to believe. In positive thinking, you cannot pretend because there’s no one to pretend to but yourself. If somebody believes that you are a positive thinker, how can that benefit you? It does not unless you believe it. Believing that you have the power over positive thinking is the most important thing and only you can achieve that.

2) Be Objective:
Being objective is very important for the power of positive thinking. Many people tend to see their lives for their failures and thus they lose hope of ever succeeding in their goals. Some people tend to magnify their success and become filled with false pride; this will only lead them to make all the wrong decisions. Being objective leads us into looking at the greater picture therefore making it easier to understand what decisions need to be made to bring about a positive outcome.

3) Take Care Of Your Health:
Another important step to achieving the power of positive thinking is taking care of your body and spirit. All of the positive thinking in the world can’t help you if you are ill or even worse dead, can it? You need to have a healthy body and spirit in order to fuel your positive thinking.

4) Surround Yourself With Positive People:
When you are engaged in an internal struggle between your positive self and your negative self, you will need all the support you can get. You do not really want to surround yourself with people who will just kick your positive attitude to the ground with their negativity. Surrounding yourself with positive people can only enhance your outlook and lift your spirit; therefore helping you to overcome your internal struggles.

5) Be Patient:
Being patient is sometimes one of the hardest things to do. It is said that patients is a virtue but it is a virtue that very few of us possess, making it something that we have to work at to obtain. But with a little effort it is quite attainable. Positive thinking does not come overnight. You need to train yourself in order to get rid of any negative attitude you possess.

6) Turn Negativity Around:
This is also something that does not come easily at first but again with a little effort it is quite attainable. When something negative enters your personality; get rid of it; not by repelling it outright, but by channelling that energy into positive thoughts. The positive will always outweigh the negative.

7) Remember That Others Can Sense Your Negativity:
One reason why people fail is because other people can sense their negativity and want no part of it. Before you try to do something, be sure to have the right attitude. You cannot help others overcome their negativity when you are in a negative state yourself. So before you council others make sure that your mind is at peace even if this makes you a little late; getting rid of your negativity is far more important. It will also benefit those who you are to help greatly.

8) Find Something Positive In Everything New:
When you encounter something unfamiliar, never do what most people do and fear it. Take a good hard look at it and see it for both the positive and negative affects it brings, this will help you understand things better and also make it a lot easier to deal with.

9) Pace Yourself:
Remember that you cannot hurry into getting positive attitude. Your goal is to get rid of your negative attitudes so you need to pace yourself in order to prevent yourself from failing because of your hastiness’. Go slowly and take life one day at a time.

10) Make The Change:
The main characteristic of these ten rules is the power of positive thinking. The fact is that they only show you the door. You need to open it yourself and then embrace it or not because it is your choice and only yours.
