Positive Mind Benefits: It is important to train your mind to be positive. The benefits of a positive mind are plenty, as Shiva Khera rightly said āYour positive action combined with positive thinking results in successā, and eventually all of us are seeking success. Whether the success we are seeking is in our job, our relationship or bank balance, being positive helps us achieve this success.
Surprisingly being positive is a learned behavior, just as we learn to drive a car, cook food, or speak a foreign language we can learn to be positive. Given below are my tips on achieving a positive mind, and hence reap the benefits of a positive mind.
Write 3 positive things daily:
On your bedside keep a diary and without fail before falling asleep write three positive things that happened today. These need not be momentous positive things but could be minor positive things such s a delicious cup of hot tea, just when you needed it. Or getting the metro, bus, or auto without waiting for long. Whatever positive happened today, write it down in your diary. Not only will you feel good recalling what happened today, but on certain days you will enjoy reading these.
Daily appreciate someone:
This is my favorite, on a daily basis genuinely appreciate someone who has done something nice. You need to appreciate someoneās thoughtfulness. Start out by doing this at least once a day, and going forward do this multiple times each day.
One act of kindness daily:
Do a small minor act of kindness daily, it could be as simple as giving a candy bar to a child. But do something that brings a smile to someoneās face.
Live in the present:
On the other hand, donāt live in the past or in the future. Live just now. As Buddha said Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. If you have a problem doing this, wear a rubber band on your wrist, every time you feel that your mind is straying into the future or the past, snap this rubber band hard!
In conclusion, on this journey of training to see the good in all things, you will notice that once you replace negative thoughts with positive thoughts, you will start seeing positive results. This is the law of attraction.
