Essential steps to use positive thinking effectively 1. Set a positive goal.


2. Keep your focus on your goal and notice opportunities


The first step is to set a goal that is positive in nature. That means you need to decide what you want. Make sure it’s not something you want to avoid, as


this serves to reinstates


the negative. For example, “I don’t want to be in financial difficulty” is a negative goal. The unconscious mind cannot process negatives. Your goals must be clear, positive and very specific.


Once you have set your goal, a part of your brain called the Reticular Activating System (RAS) springs into action, and starts to bring to your attention opportunities that will help you move towards your goal.


3. Take action


Once you’ve noticed the opportunities then you need to take action on them. Sometimes these opportunities will stretch you out of your comfort zone and sometimes they will require a risk, but this is often something you need to push through to achieve a new or different goal.


4. Notice when you’re not getting the results you want and take different actions


Pay attention to the results you’re getting. If things start to move away from your required goal, go back to the thoughts and actions you were taking. Were they truly in alignment with your goal? Check if any were based on fear. Fear is a negative thought pattern and actions based on this often sabotage success. Perhaps you were holding yourself back from fully embracing an opportunity because it was new or you second guessed your capabilities.


5. Don’t Let Past Emotions Cloud Current Thinking


Don’t let painful emotions from past events affect your current thoughts and actions. Emotions from the past are the quickest way to cloud your thinking, and lead you to make poor decisions and actions. Most people make the mistake of simply suppressing or expressing emotions. Instead find a way to RELEASE them. This is essential for thinking clearly.


6. Bounce Quickly Back From Setbacks


When aiming for success you will fail at times. Successful people fail much more often than unsuccessful people; the difference is that successful people bounce back and keep going, putting the past behind them and regaining their confidence through positive reinforcement.
