We have all heard about the power of positive thinking. If we could all think positive all of the time then we would live in a world without problems. Disease, hunger, violence and poverty would be history if only we could remain positive 100% of the time. However, we all know that staying positive even 50% of the time is an up-hill battle! 
When we are faced with the inevitable challenges that life hands us it can be hard to turn the negatives in life into to positives.
We tend to judge things by what we see and are therefore living our live in a reactionary manner. Instead of being the creators of our world we are the subjects of it!
However, if you truly wish to live a healthy, wealthy, well-adjusted and fulfilling life, filled with joy and happiness then it is imperative that you develop a healthy, joyous, prosperous and well-adjusted attitude about yourself, others and life in general!
I have included in this post a few tips to help you develop a more positive attitude. Although there are many ways to change your outlook, and this is not an exhaustive list, following the guidelines will help you enormously and lead you on the path to positivity.
1. Examine the Effects of Your Negativity! Examine how your negative thoughts have influenced your decision and your actions. Think over your past failures and “hurts”. How where you thinking and feeling prior to the events that unfolded? If you take honest introspection of yourself you will find that you where thinking negatively and probably expecting the worst to happen. This in turn affected your actions which then affected the results you got!
2. Examine the Effects of Your Positivity! Next examine those times when you succeeded or where very happy, joyous, excited or in love. How were you thinking and feeling prior to those events? How you were thinking and what was your emotional state during those times?
When you review your past experiences, honestly, from these two perspectives you will find that your negative thoughts and feelings played a major role in your negative outcomes.
Conversely, your positive feelings and thoughts played a major role in your positive outcomes. This simple exercise should give you the motivation you need to stay positive as much as you can!
3. Surround Yourself with Positive People! Try to surround yourself with positive people as much as you are able. It is true that negative people “bring you down”.
We are all vibrational creatures composed on vibrating energy that affects the vibrations of things and people around us. The atoms that make-up your body are vibrating a very specific frequency. Interact with someone who has a low vibration and only one of two things can happen; you can raise their vibration or they can lower yours!
Unfortunately, due to the nature of our species and the current spiritual development of the human race, negativity is all around us. You see it on the television, hear it on the radio and witness it at every corner.
Therefore the chances of you raising the vibration of a negative person are slim – it is much more likely that your vibration will be greatly lowered! So seek the company of positive people who uplift you and support you!
4. Redirect Your focus! Take your focus away from the things that you do not like and place it on the things you do like. Focus is one of the most powerful abilities you have and if you direct it correctly you can change your entire life. Stop concentrating on everything that is wrong and start to look for those things that are right!
Begin by recalling all the things you are grateful for. Make a mental or physical list and really get into tat feeling of gratitude!
Do this each morning before you even get out of bed and it will place you into a positive mood for the rest of the day. Do it each night as you fall asleep and you will awaken rested, refreshed and ready for a new day filled with optimism and joy!
