Positive thinking

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I think that just because something is in print and even

written

by a phd or md doesn't mean that it is correct. I think that we need

to take a lot of stuff so seriously. Time will tell if these things

are correct. Lots of times you read one thing one day and

something that contradicts it another day.

I feel that positive thinking can help the quality of one's life and

maybe the course a disease. I don't think positive thinking alone

will cure any major disease.

I am here because I choose to be here,, I was lucky enough to clear and have

been clear for the 2 1/2 years after I finished tx,,, I want to help and I had a

hard time finishing tx but I did it and hopefully I can be of help , Im also

getting my ND so I can answer some questions about the natural things one can do

to help along the way...

No Sharon, Im not becoming a nurse,, altho I did pay for the program and have

all the books, I was a 911 paramedic for 15 years until I got this and was

unable to work on tx plus being left with all the autoimmune problems tx gave

me,, Im getting my ND which is " Naturopathic Doctor " with a bachelors in

holistic nutrition... and I will be here to help,, I am a supporter of BOTH

kinds of treatments but I have to say that I think the allopathic medicine is

really really important in Emergency care and surgical intervention,, BUT

Naturopathic is the way I would go for long term health,, done naturally instead

of with artificial chemicals that cause many more problems than they actually

fix in some cases....

hi , I want to be a positive thinker. give me some tips to think positively.

  

Get the freedom to save as many mails as you wish. Click

here to know how.

[Guest guest]

Thanks Mukul for the welcome .

I read the blog on " As if " . I'd like to discuss the

" intelligence " factor of this.

I believe that " any " positive thinking has its place

and time. However, I consider positive " thinking " to

be like a bandaide to some degree. If you keep saying

something over and over again for weeks or months at a

time, perhaps the opposite of that eventually weakens

and goes away, as the brain's synapses die in that

habit pattern. However, a " faster " way is to raise

yourself up emotionally to where there is no longer

something to trigger.

To some degree positive thinking can " layer " or

pile things on to negative thinking. This is how one

can manifest two things at once. Where you get

something you want, but also you get something you

didn't want at the same time. I've done this one

quite often.

I once envisioned a house full of furniture (I

moved into an empty house) and within a month or so I

got a whole house full of furniture. It came with a

boyfriend that I had met and he moved in . However,

after awhile we didn't get along too well and we

fought a lot. Not only did I get a house full of

furniture but it was " too much " furniture - overkill

.

I " thought " I had been only asking for furniture,

but I got a surprise instead.

So, I think a " natural " positive thinking instead

of layers or solutions that can lead to more problems

and trying to cover things over, would be a more

intelligent way to go, but that's just my opinion .

The way to handle a negative is to bring up the

positive and see how you feel. But then if there is a

negative emotion, etc., already sitting there, its

always good to have the actual tools that will reduce

and eliminate these factors.

If I were to think " as if " something were about to

occur or " as if " I were " being " something or someone,

this could possibly be the fake it til you make it,

thing, however, for me, there would be times when I'd

do a crash and burn because the " as if " would not be

actually true. Like act as if I've got someone coming

over to my house who I really like, when I'm feeling

down. It would work for about 15 minutes and then I'd

be down again. BUT, if I were to meditate on it and

repeat it over and over almost like a chant, " knowing "

that eventually I'd attract this to me, then, this

would be different. That's positive thinking being

put out there in the physical universe with intention.

I think it helps to differentiate between unreal

positive thinking which I call " escaping " and

intelligent and causitive positive thinking.

Hi

Thanks for relating to what I'm saying .

Well, nowadays, there are a lot of different

techniques floating around in the " energy " psychology

field and you can do several of them " free " by reading

them on the net . If you're interested in different

websites that I know of, please ask .

I think the most important thing in the world is to

do some type of personal " soul searching " assessment

of yourself. I had someone do a " list " with me of

areas in my life that I really felt great about in one

way or another. It still took me a long time to

figure most of " me " out and I'm still working on

areas, but it certainly boosted me towards the right

direction.

Also, many a time the " be " part comes first and

then the action and then the manifestation or goal.

So, right now you could " be " let's say a " supervisor "

or " hiring agent " , but until you actually learn all

the ropes and are able to apply it, it won't be

completely manifest. The start would be at least the

intention and attitude you would need to enable you to

act out that particular job or identity.

I don't know about you, but I personally am rather

slow when it comes to cultivating new friendships and

family-like situations. My mother died almost a year

ago as well, but I didn't have the same relationship

with her as you did with your mother. Instead, I have

that " best friend " with both of my daughters. They

are the only actual family that I consider I have. As

a result, I have a small family. This is okay. Right

now, I'm in the middle of learning how to meet people

again. One of the ways I'm doing that is I've bought

a series of sessions in a Yoga studio for meditation

and also eventually for something called " regenerative

Yoga " as I'm in physically bad shape. But as a result

- I'll also be meeting people. Its a start .

So, here's the thing, . The " lonely " part is

more because you are isolating yourself, from yourself

- make sense? When you are doing things that do not

totally resonate from who you really want to be and

how you really want to be - then you are being lonely

by keeping yourself from the very aspects that make

you happy.

People say you should be happy with yourself first,

but really, its a real harmonic thing working with

inside and outside factors at the same time.

Be harmonic with yourself by " being " who you really

want to be and what you love to do. Don't isolate

yourself (from self) by suppressing who you really are

and putting in things that you think you " should " be

doing. To do that is to substitute another or someone

else's ideas or " self " . This definitely is a lonely

way to go, IMO. The harmonic thing comes when you can

also then start to attract to yourself those people

and things that vibrate to who you really are. Then

you will find that even if you only had one or two

really good friends, you wouldn't be lonely.

Well, all the above isn't necessarily a " quickie "

action, but if you start in that direction, it might

not be all that slow either .

Warmth,

Lyn

Hell yes Sherri-Lee is right! Of course you get what you give--and you

also get

what you think!!

" If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're

right "

- Henry Ford

Back in 1997, when my health was in the toilet and I felt there was

little hope

for me, I STILL tried to remain positive and do everything I possibly

could for myself.

Including buying an ozone generator from Plasmafire. Of course it

helped tons that

I had a great support system in the form of a loving husband and dear

friends who hung in there with me. I think deep in my soul, I always

held on

the belief that I would one day be well. And I am! Today--10 years

later, I am very good and I have been fine since 1999. I will be 60 in

December.

Shell

................................................................

Until you are ready to challenge this thinking of you being so

different from the rest of the world that nothing will help you,

nothing will.

Have you heard of the law of attraction?

One other thing I will tell you, is I used to have FM and CFS. I was

on disability for over 2 years with this " incurable " syndrome. I was

told by everyone I saw including natural health practitioners, that I

would never be cured and that I had better accept it and get use to

it. When I fought that suggestion, they said I was in denial and I

better accept my lot in life. I was constantly told to be thankful

for what I could do and to not reach for too much (I have a life time

of people telling me that I didn't deserve anything more than just

below average, so this was to be expected) but for the first time in

my life I didn't buy it. I fought and struggled and felt like shit

for about 18 months thinking I was worse and immediately changing

that thought process to being " I am healing " even though it didn't

feel that way. I stuck with it. Even when I felt like quitting I did

not. Even when I didn't think there was a light at the end of the

tunnel I kept going on blind faith. Somehow for the first time in my

life I knew I was worth more than just below average and I fought

long and hard and I got it. I healed myself. I am cured. I have no FM

or CFS and have not had a symptom for 8 years. Did I do everything

under the sun to heal myself... nope just a few things, the ones that

worked and I believed in myself.

I believed these things would work and so they did. I believed I

could heal and so I did.

Law of attraction.

As I tell my kids when they don't like the way one is treating the

other " you get what you give " .

Don't believe it will work, it won't, save your money and time and

give up then.

Sherri-Lee

Hell yes Sherri-Lee is right! Of course you get what you give--and you

also get

what you think!!

" If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're

right "

- Henry Ford

Back in 1997, when my health was in the toilet and I felt there was

little hope

for me, I STILL tried to remain positive and do everything I possibly

could for myself.

Including buying an ozone generator from Plasmafire. Of course it

helped tons that

I had a great support system in the form of a loving husband and dear

friends who hung in there with me. I think deep in my soul, I always

held on

the belief that I would one day be well. And I am! Today--10 years

later, I am very good and I have been fine since 1999. I will be 60 in

December.

Until you are ready to challenge this thinking of you being so

different from the rest of the world that nothing will help you,

nothing will.

Have you heard of the law of attraction?

One other thing I will tell you, is I used to have FM and CFS. I was

on disability for over 2 years with this " incurable " syndrome. I was

told by everyone I saw including natural health practitioners, that I

would never be cured and that I had better accept it and get use to

it. When I fought that suggestion, they said I was in denial and I

better accept my lot in life. I was constantly told to be thankful

for what I could do and to not reach for too much (I have a life time

of people telling me that I didn't deserve anything more than just

below average, so this was to be expected) but for the first time in

my life I didn't buy it. I fought and struggled and felt like shit

for about 18 months thinking I was worse and immediately changing

that thought process to being " I am healing " even though it didn't

feel that way. I stuck with it. Even when I felt like quitting I did

not. Even when I didn't think there was a light at the end of the

tunnel I kept going on blind faith. Somehow for the first time in my

life I knew I was worth more than just below average and I fought

long and hard and I got it. I healed myself. I am cured. I have no FM

or CFS and have not had a symptom for 8 years. Did I do everything

under the sun to heal myself... nope just a few things, the ones that

worked and I believed in myself.

I believed these things would work and so they did. I believed I

could heal and so I did.

Law of attraction.

As I tell my kids when they don't like the way one is treating the

other " you get what you give " .

Don't believe it will work, it won't, save your money and time and

give up then.

The power of thought

Ten years ago had anyone told me that thoughts alone had the power to change people not only mentally but phyically as well I would have dismissed it as nonsense. Now after overcoming what was certain to be terminal cancer and a massive stroke I have to admit that thoughts indeed shape us physically, both good and bad. After looking at my thinking and all of the choices I made up to my illness striking me down it became abundantly clear that my thought patterns which determined my choices and actions certainly did lead me on a collision course with near certain death. Actually I did die twice during surgery when I was first hospitalized April 1, 2003. There was no light, no nothing. I was sent home to get my affairs in order which I reluctantly did. I made my funeral arrangements July 16, 2003 and the arrangements are still in place as I will indeed have one eventually. I withered away to about 110 lbs when on October 16, 2003 I had the stroke. My hospice counselor found me on the bathroom floor and called the ambulance.In January 2004 my lucidity returned only to find me still hopeless lying in a nursing home. Coming to grips with the finality of all of this was quite overwhelming to say the least. I finally resolved that if this was all I had left then I would make the best of it. I decided to find joy in wonder in all that I saw. The view from my window was the garbage dumpsters behind the home. Yet I still admired the snow and the ice and was truly grateful for the opportunity to still be alive. As my thoughts focused on positive things exclusively I began to feel better emotionally and physically. Mind you this was not some program I conjured up to battle. It was just a change of my thinking to make each moment happier. Since my focus was on finding happiness low and behold that is exactly what I began to find. There was no time to think about illness or pain. I didn't complain. I realized that if all of my past thinking had led me to illness there was no reason that my thinking couldn't lead me away from it. And so it did. The more I focus on happiness the more of it I get. By the same token, if my focus were to be on negative things the more of that I would get. The great thing about putting your thoughts on the positive is that you begin to attract more positive people around you which is exactly what I needed at the nursing home. The doctors, nurses, therapists and everyone were happy to assist me. Why? Because I was indeed genuinely happy and resolved to get back on my feet. Had I been an old grouch no one would have come to my aid. They most likely would have stood by and counted the minutes before I was gone and had a celebration.So it is this resolve to find good and happiness that is the starting point. Regardless of your situation once you start looking for happiness, even in the tiniest places, you'll find it. The giant snowball starts with a single flake. So where is all this happiness? It comes from within. How you feel is always your choice. And that is what winning thinking is about; choices. It is about taking 100% responsibility for how you feel and how you choose to be affected by the people and things around you. If you are set on looking outside of yourself for your happiness you will never find it there. It is always your choice. Taking 100% responsibility for your feelings is indeed frightening at first. We all would love to blame others for how we feel but you can't be insulted or hurt without giving your consent. So when I feel bad I look to myself to see what it is I am thinking that is causing me to feel that way. If someone pushes a button that makes me play a bad thought, I simply find a new thought for that button. I can't stop people from pushing my buttons but I sure can rearrange the records in this juke box of my called the brain.

Keep smiling,

Dr Mike

Yup!

Hello Group,I'm encouraged to have found a positive group. For many years now I've worked hard at positive thinking and am happy to say I've grown a lot in that area. I've also learned that I don't always have to have an opinion and It's much easier to be quiet and still. I've learned a lot about stress management and feel that I've contributed to a very stable home environment for my entire family. I've had to deal with a lot of outside stress from a few people but have learned not to "buy into" their drama and dysfunction. I can set limits and boundaries and stick to them. Can anyone relate?
