Why do we have such a downer on Pollyanna? After all, she is just a
little girl with a big dose of positive mental attitude. Instead of
mocking, may we should learn something from her. I'm not saying we
have to turn into Pollyanna, but when you think about it, positive
thinking is the only sensible way forward. Our thinking creates our
reality, so isn't it just a bit daft to be creating our reality based
on negative thinking? When we realise this, we understand we cannot
afford the luxury of negative thinking.
As Einstein said, "we are boxed in by the boundary conditions of our
thinking." Mind management is essentially the key to life management,
and we all have the power to choose what we think. It may take time
and effort to break the habit of negative thinking, but that is just
what it is, a habit. So the trick is to cultivate a new habit of
looking for the positive. And the first step is to catch yourself when
you are thinking negatively. It may shock you just how many of those
60,000 thoughts that run through your mind every day are of the
negative variety. Perhaps when you catch yourself thinking negatively,
you can turn it into a positive "but". Whatever it is, look hard for
something way to turn it around by seeing an advantage. Focus on the
fact that your outer world reflects your inner world, so which way
would you rather think? Create the habit of positive thinking....
