Secret of cultivating a positive attitude

Submitted on Thursday, 9 October 2008Add to Technorati Favorites23 Comments

Have you ever wondered how some people become successful and they keep riding the stairs of success?

They use a technique called Autosuggestions. Autosuggestions (or Affirmations) are suggestions or thoughts we keep giving ourselves throughout the day.

These can be negative or positive.

Example of negative autosuggestions

I am tired.

I have a bad memory.

i-can-do-it

I cant remember names.

I am unlucky.

Why do bad things always happen to me ?

Example Of positive autosuggestions

I am happy.

Life is good !!

Good Things always happen to me.

I am so lucky !!

I am the best in whatever I do.

When we give ourselves an autosuggestion (either positive or negative), our subconscious mind starts believing it, and it makes our thought a reality. Now, you know this wonderful power, don’t you think you can use it your advantage by giving yourself positive autosuggestions ?

So, how do you do that ??? Follow P P 21 Success Rule

First P means : Present Tense

Your autosuggestions should be in present tense.

Example. If you want to be a good public speaker, then instead of saying – I will be a good speaker, say: I am a fantastic speaker and am improving day by day.

Second P means : Positive Phrasing

Do not phrase your autosuggestions in a negative way.

Example. If you want to be rich, then don’t say to yourself – I will not remain poor anymore.

Instead, say – I am becoming richer with each passing day. Or I am becoming better in my business with each passing day.

This small exercise will help you understand this more clearly.

Now, whatever I will say, try to imagine that.

Do not, Do not think about red colored monkeys.

Do not imagine red colored monkeys fighting with each other.

Do not imagine a red colored monkey hitting a blue colored monkey.

I bet you saw red colored monkeys, That’s the way our brain functions. So, always phrase your autosuggestions in a positive way.

21 means :

If you give yourself positive autosuggestions repeatedly for 21 days, your subconscious mind will make it as true and you would be able to achieve all that you ever wanted to achieve in your life. The important aspect is - that you should tell yourself positive autosuggestions repeatedly. & you will start noticing the difference in your behavior within a week.

Now, it’s up to you to have faith in yourself and start believing positive.

Because

If you think, you can do it.

Even the Bible says:

If you have faith, everything shall be possible to you.
