Speak and Think the Positive

To often we fail to speak and think the positive, instead we are negative about things and that only brings us more discomfort. No matter what area of life we consider, being negative about it only makes things worse.

I have realized that even the simplest of terms can change the emotional feeling I have about things. By merely saying I want a certain item rather than saying I don’t want something else gives a lighter impression inside me. The heaviness that comes from the resistance of things and the burden of fighting against its possibility aren’t present and are replaced with a peaceful calm. No longer refusing the existence of a condition or circumstance, we are accepting what we like and desire and give it an appealing position. This will relieve the stress and tension of the situation inside us and allows us to confront it rationally.

A positive attitude and outlook on things doesn’t necessarily make things better but it does help us see them in a different light. When problems arise we must contend with, looking at it in the perspective of being a challenge instead, it can be faced, overcome and put behind us. The word “problem” itself gives the impression of something that is difficult and possibly can’t be conquered. And so it is with many words and statements we use, enlarging and changing our vocabulary and thinking we can correct and alter our attitudes. This sounds to easy to be true, but if we will consider how different words make us feel, the concept has greater possibilities. When we speak and think the positive our feelings are also more positive and the aggravation and irritation we may have eases also.

Another way to ease negative feelings is to make your situations positive and add a time frame to them. For example, if you say you can’t stand a person or condition, instead say you can tolerate them or it for a length of time. You mentally accept that the time will pass and the uncomfortable event will end which releases that stress. Your mind remembers and reinforces the tolerance you have accepted and makes it more bearable. To many times we imagine things are more dreadful than they are, causing them to be intolerable and us unwilling to face them.

The ability to control us is within each of us and no one else. It is our responsibility to learn how we function and how things affect us. Finding and applying the tools needed to keep our emotions and actions aligned with our beliefs and standards is the critical part of the task. Knowing what will help guide us toward where we want to be is the first step of a more peaceful journey.

Re: Who hates cold calling? - About 15 years ago I worked for this sales company that used to sell anything from Kitchen Knives to Dry Cell Torches. The owner was a very motivating guy and he would ask us to get to the office by 7.00AM and we could sing and dance for an hour before we went to sell the products in the streets, stopping anyone and telling them our products were on discount. We used to sell snow to Eskimos, why were we able to do that? because of PMA (Positive Mental Attitude). The key to cold calling is like beauty, in eyes of the beholder. If you have no PMA, you cannot sell. Remember the law of average that states that if you went to a dance and every girl or guy you approached for a dance decline your proposal. What do you do? Do you stop? If you have a PMA, you continue until you get one person who agree to dance with you despite how ugly you look, that is is PMA and that is the power of cold calling.
