If you knew how powerful your thoughts are when shaping reality, you'd never think of another negative thought again. But it's easier said than done. It takes time to break the habit of negative thinking, especially when we've been doing it our whole lives. However, to succeed in business and life in general, we must diligently guard our thoughts against the moment we wake up to the moment our head hits the pillow - and then some.
You've heard it said that you are what you think. This couldn't be more true. When it comes to business, the way we think manifests itself in every area. No matter the marketing procedures you choose, the coaching you receive, the classes you take, all of it can't be fully utilized until you change the way you think. In essence, the way you think determines how and when you use those tools, so it's best to make sure your thinking is aligned with success.
Become an Observer
How can you do this? By becoming an observer. You must observe your thoughts constantly and take the necessary actions before you and your business become consumed by negative, harmful thinking. For example, if you find yourself saying, "This will never work," you're right. It won't unless you rephrase your thought to something like this - "With patience, this will work." You can even form your thoughts into a question such as "How will this work?". Then wait patiently for the answer. Practicing mediation, yoga, or a form of exercise will help with this.
When your thinking becomes habitually positive, something that will happen over time with practice, a momentum of success will follow. You'll also take more risks. Risk-taking in business can reap great rewards, but you need the confidence of positive thinking to carry you through to the finish line. The more your thoughts are in tune with abundance and prosperity, the more you will draw these things into your business and life.
How to Start Thinking Positively
One way to train your mind to think positively is to listen to positive affirmations daily, just before going to sleep and first thing when you wake up. During these times, your brain is in its theta state, the same state as a child, and, therefore, highly susceptible to suggestions. Using headphones, listen to positive affirmations that will help in any area of your life and business, such as affirmations for attracting wealth and success.
Focus, determination, and grit will only get you so far without the right frame of mind to add to the mix. It's like the secret ingredient that makes every success taste better. By observing your thoughts, practicing positive thinking, and using techniques like mediation and positive affirmations, success will have no choice but to follow.
