Practicing
a Positive Lifestyle
Let's
face it most of us would love to live a life where everything just
seems to go at a nice fluid pace with little or no interruptions or
few setbacks. This would be great - and it can be done if you start
practicing a positive lifestyle.
So
what exactly is a positive lifestyle?
This involves looking at things a little differently. It requires
that you see and understand the positive aspects of people and situations
- instead of just focusing on the negative aspects.
Too
often we get caught up with the negative opinions, attitudes, actions
and thoughts of those around us - and in the end we create a negative
lifestyle that leaves us unhappy, depressed, hopeless and angry.
So
in order to avoid falling into this trap or in order to move from
a negative lifestyle to a positive lifestyle - we need to begin changing
the way we see things and change the way we interact with each other.
Those
of you who are now working with the Creating Power system are already
in the process of building a positive lifestyle. The Creating Power
system shows you how to eliminate the negative thought patterns and
beliefs that create a negative or limiting reality. With Creating
Power you start building a positive lifestyle from day one.
The
First Step
The
first thing you can do is to change your negative responses when dealing
with people. For example: if someone asks you; "How are you."
Instead of responding by saying: "Not bad." Why not say:
"I'm doing great." Think about it for a second. Your first
response was Not Bad, or I'm okay, or so-so - or hanging in there,
or trying to get through the day - these are all negative statements
that create more negative energy and perpetuate the negative lifestyle.
Switching to the positive - to what you want - leads to creating more
positive energy and a more positive attitude. If you actually start
saying that you're doing great - in time you'll begin to believe it
and your reality will reflect that - things will actually improve.
So
when you're talking to other people - change your negative statements
to positive comments. If you're in a conversation where everybody
is just being negative - try saying something positive and see what
happens. Watch the response - you'll be surprised at some of the things
that happen. Some people may think your crazy - but a lot of people
will actually start to see things differently. You'll actually get
them to stop being so negative - and without knowing it - those very
same people will begin looking at things in a more positive way. This
may not happen the first time, and it may not happen all the time
- but the more you do it - the more often you'll get them to focus
on the positive events.
This
is one of the things I encourage in the Creating Power system - focusing
on the positive but also communicating. Creating Power shows you how
to train your mind to focus on the positive so that you always send
the right messages to your subconscious mind and create the life you
want. With Creating Power - you'll learn how to create a positive
lifestyle so that you enjoy living a life where everything works and
you enjoy success, happiness and much more.
Focus
on the Good Qualities
Often
people will do things to make you uneasy, upset you, anger you - or
just simply get under your skin. When this happens - it's okay to
initially react - but after you've calmed down - look at the positive
qualities in that person. Too often we focus solely on a person's
negative qualities - and forget the good things. I've actually had
people tell me that they can't think of anything nice about their
co-workers, bosses, mother in-law, etc. This is a little hard to believe
and what it shows is that the person is so caught up in living a negative
lifestyle they can't see anything positive in anyone. It's like living
in darkness for so long that now they forgot what impact light could
have.
By
looking at the positive you get your mind to shift it's attention
- it now begins to see things differently and thus sends a different
message and different energy to your subconscious. This new positive
energy and positive message is picked up by your subconscious, your
spirit and your higher power - they all bring positive situations
to you. It's that old saying: "what goes around comes around."
You focus on the positive in other people and other people will see
the positive qualities in you. You focus on the good things in other
people, and other people will see the good things in you and you'll
attract positive situations in your life.
I'm
not asking you to be a doormat and I'm not asking you to simply look
at the positive qualities when someone is being unkind to you. Instead,
I'm suggesting that you take a look at the positive qualities in addition
to everything else. Don't neglect the positive qualities that a person
has. Here's an example: Let's say you're taking your son or daughter
to a basketball game. You're in the line and the guy behind you, who
is also with his child, starts pushing. You ask him to back off and
he gets angry - perhaps starts yelling and screaming - all of this
is taking place in front of your child and his child. Finally things
calm down - you go to your seat and he goes to his. Perhaps you're
still angry and silently cursing him as you sit in your chair. But
can you see anything positive in that person? Most people would say
no. But at least he was trying to spend some time with his kid. At
least he took time out of his schedule, just like you did and took
his kid to a game - just like you did. You don't know anything else
about the person - but you just found some positive qualities.
When
you do this you also release the anger and unhappiness - because you
get your mind to focus on something positive instead of something
negative - thus creating more positive energy. Try doing this with
people you know and don't know.
Creating
positive energy is crucial to your success and happiness. Let's face
it - you certainly don't want negative energy or a negative lifestyle.
With Creating Power you'll learn how to do this and much more. The
techniques, exercises and methods are simple and easy to use. Creating
Power shows you how to focus on the positive and get the most out
of life.
Encourage
the Positive
Another
thing you can do is to be encouraging and positive - not just when
you're talking to people - but go the extra distance to help someone
out when you can. Offer encouragement when people have questions or
concerns. Instead of shooting somebody down, or sharply criticizing
them - take the high road - and see how much more of an impact a few
words of encouragement will help. Listen to what people say and try
to offer a positive suggestion to help in their situation.
When
you do this you get your mind to go in a positive direction - which
in turn will attract more positive situations - and you also back
it up with action. It doesn't hurt to help people when they need a
hand, a few words of encouragement will go a lot further than some
harsh criticism.
Begin
to see the positive aspects in other people by first focusing on your
positive qualities. Creating Power shows you how to do both and it
shows you how to send the right messages to your subconscious mind
so that you create the life you want. Start working with Creating
Power today and begin creating a positive lifestyle so that you enjoy
the life you want.
Try
Smiling
Finally,
try smiling. It's actually a lot easier than frowning. It's true.
Researcher and scientists have found that you actually use fewer muscles
to smile than you do when you frown. Try smiling more and you'll actually
start to feel better. Take some time to laugh at yourself and at things
you find funny. Be a kid every once in a while - don't take things
too seriously - after all having fun frees the soul and eases the
mind. Do things you enjoy and you'll start creating a positive lifestyle.
These
are just some of the things you could do to start living a positive
lifestyle and attract more positive energy into your life. Once you
start doing some of the things I just outlined life will start to
move at a more positive, fluid pace - and there won't be as many bumps
along the road. When you work with the Creating Power system you'll
learn how to live a positive lifestyle. With Creating Power you'll
train your mind to send the right messages to your subconscious so
that you get results and start enjoying the life you want. The Creating
Power system teaches you this and much more.
