If
your
predominant
mindset is negative, it’s
essential that you begin to
think positively even if you
do not necessarily feel this
way at the time. To undo
the devastating effect of
negative thinking, you
need three times as many
positive thoughts to create
the shift. This tipping point
is not easy to achieve, but
once you start developing
the positive thoughts and
perspectives needed to
nudge you forward, you
broaden and build on them.
The moment you react
negatively to anything,
pause, take a few deep
intentional breaths, and shift
your attention from your
head to your heart. This
brings you into coherence
with your head and heart so
you can access your inner
spiritual guidance system
and develop a deep trust of
yourself. Learning to drop
into your heart space in
the midst of anxiety helps
you sustain a positive
mindset. Moreover, it will
immediately reduce your
anxious symptoms and
bring you into physical and
emotional balance.
When you focus on the
flow of energy emanating
from your heart, you can
feel a distinct coherence
as your brain and nervous
your negative thoughts,
but also empowers you to
feel positive in the present
moment.
It’s important that you lead
with your heart and then
use your head. When you
bypass your brain, you
become open to receive
spiritual information through
your heart to guide you
whether it’s a gut feeling, an
“a-ha” moment, inkling, or an
inner knowing. This “heart-
centered” positive mindset
takes conscious awareness
and with awareness comes
the ability to shift your
perspective.

You may sense a tingling

or a subtle vibration

The resulting emotional
balance not only frees you
from being affected by
your full attention into the
present moment. Being
able to dwell on the positive
aspects in your life is the
essence of moving toward
the tipping point of positivity.

Take a moment and reflect
on a situation where you
were faced with a challenge,
obstacle, or difficulty. What
was your predominant
mindset? Did you react from
your head space, “Why
did this happen to me?”
or did you respond from
your heart space, “What
is this situation revealing
to me about myself?” If
you reacted by blaming,
judging,
or
berating
yourself, you reinforced
a negative mindset. This
actually feeds your anxiety
and creates more worries.
Yet, if you responded with
trust, confidence, and a
resiliency that everything
will be ok, you strengthened
a positive mindset. Whether
you react or respond to the
events that happen to you
determine a life of anxiety
or peace.
