Positive Thoughts and positive attitude

Everybody talks about the importance of positive thoughts and a positive attitude. This surely is a better way of living than to be constantly dragged down by negativity.

Agree!

The challenge is two-fold, nevertheless.

Firstly, it is tough to stay positive in an environment that is negative. How to be positive when you are working in an office, for example, where people are constantly negatively inclined? Talk negatively about clients, about their colleagues, about their friends about their dog, about anything?

Secondly, we surely haven't been raised to think and behave positively. Everybody, or at least plenty of people, has been exposed to negativity throughout their life. Even those that attempt to live positively only mostly cover a sea of negativity with positive thoughts. Scrape deeper and you can find negativity.

Sad, but at least they are trying.

This is worthwhile an attempt - to live and breath positivity. Why? Well, ask yourself, are thoughts energy? Or, better, do they cause something in your body? Is there a link between body and mind, thoughts and body?

Sure there is. If you don't believe it, just think of the reaction of your body the moment you have some sexual fantasy. Really, I am serious! What is the reaction? I bet that even so you didn't "engage in any sexual activity" (I hope not, I hope you keep reading the entry), there was a reaction in your body.

Now this is a reaction to a sexual thought.

Think, what is happening when you have negative thoughts, feel anxious, nervous, lack of confidence, insecure or even hate, lack of passion, frustration, passion etc.

Now that is scary, Isn't it?
