Secret of cultivating a positive attitude
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 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:
How about returning back the favor by sharing this with other awesome people like you.

Scientifically our brain requires 21 days to create or break a habit.
That is why, If you affirm something continuously for 21 days, you will create it as a habit

I learnt this technique first from Law of Success (Napoleon Hill)…
Have used it … and it must say.. that it keeps you going..
Raj.. if you’re interested in books… an all time classic is “AS A MAN THINKETH” .. just google this book and you’ll get it for free as a download.. I personally think that because of this book, the self help industry took birth
I consider it is the mother of all self help books…
Cheers

Hi Raj,
Great article on positive/negative autosuggestion. It reminds me of affirmations and guided imagery. I write a lot about the topic as well.
I would say a great challenge is becoming aware of our negative thoughts as we have a tendancy to get swept away in them and forget how to get out.
Happy Thinking
Sarah
