Positive Thinking Is A M isnom er

Positive thinking is a misnomer . It is not merely about thinking a thought , which is positive , it should mean making positive choices . Whenever I mention positive thinking I mean exercising the power we have to find and think the very best thoughts needed and focus on these . It means we find and choose to feel the very best feelings we can that are useful each moment . It means we seek and find within us the very best resources that are useful in whatever situations we may be going through . by Rex Sikes

Resources ARE our inner thoughts , memories , beliefs , experiences , and talents , and whatever we have from our past , too , that contains some of the necessary ingredients
for the present moment . Hence , resources can be anything that helps us change our difficult moments into better ones The key is deliberately bringing our minds back to the best , the most beneficial , even the most " positive " thoughts and sticking with them . The same applies to finding our best feelings .
When we do this repeatedly we train our neurology , i . e ., we train ourselves , to make a habit of finding the very best and most useful of what we have to use it in each moment , and especially when needed . We can transform the mundane to the delightful . It need not be only when we face challenges . The idea is to seek and experience the optimum each day , each moment . Find and experience the best . Live life better than just " okay ".
As we do this moment to moment throughout each day , for weeks and months , we are developing the habit . What may start off difficult becomes easier through the repeated effort . After a while , the habit begins to take over . There will come a point in which this is just the natural way you live and think . It becomes automatic and reliable . You don ? t event have to think about it , but you can .
It works the same way as when you learned to ride a bike or drive a car . It was tough . There was lot ' s to pay attention to . Perhaps it was even frustrating at first , but as you stuck with it the tasks became easier until it became easier . Ultimately , you could ride a bike or drive without even thinking about how to do it . It has become a skill and a habit . It is automatic and reliable .
This practice result in incredible flexibility , resourcefulness , useful beliefs , attitudes , thoughts ,
