Positive thinking - does it work or not?

[Ociwiw]

It always works, and most importantly, you look at difficult situations easier, so positive thinking is very necessary!

Everybody is different, may be it works for others but certainly not for me. I feel more concentrated and effective when I expect worse and keep my expectations low. This way I`m ready to face all everyday chores and problem with a cold head, take the most rational decisions and don`t get stressed over trivial but annoying things. Negative thinking doesn`t hinder joyful moments though - I only value them more.
You may wish to check the book by Mark Manson "The subtle art of not giving a f*ck", it has some good practical advice for how to adjust your attitude towards negative stuff.

Hello friends. What experiences do you have in terms of positive thinking? Does it really work? If you have an experience when the positive thinking worked for you, I would love to hear it, so please share it.

It works for me all the time. When you think positively there are less chances of you being depressed , you are happier and productivity rises significantly. It also helps with communicating and making friends, you are more confident and don't care about failing anything. If you think positively your thoughts make others happier, it keeps you smiling all the time and it just makes everything better.

Positive thinking is helpful for me because it allows me to look at the brighter side of stuff. It also made me happier when I only focus on the good side. But I still recognize that bad side. Juts have to weigh and have balance..

For me it works. If I have a bad day, I start thinking at the good things that I have, and my mood changes.

You can think positive but don't make it as excuse to run from you problem.

With my own experience being positive has been a great help. Every problem I face. I easily can find a solution when I positive that I can resolve it.

I am determined to be the most important thing in life, to be strong.

[shakerbitcoin]

It works but only if you have a strong commitment.

You should always think of the half-full glass theory.

[keyboardstyli]

Yes, or else, negativity will weigh you down completely!

[not4mike]

Yes, it really does! Either way, you've got nothing to lose and everything to gain by doing so.

[DimitriKozlov]

I don't have any experience but if you believe enough, I think it will be a source of motivation.

[JulesWinnfield]

i think it is very important and of course it works

[Greenwinter]

My personal experience in this type of activities is no doubt great. My only recommendation here is to be patient enough to see first results coming
you need to readjust the Universe first to make it work.

Being grateful is more important than being positive if you want to achieve something. Basically, you look at what you have first (Do you have a family? Do you have water? Did you eat yesterday? Do you have a job?) and then look at what negative things you don't have or don't miss. You'll become grateful and then realize that you can do what you want.
More important than that is to not have big expectations. Do you know those guys who are like "Oh yes I'll be making billions dude, the new Bill Gates of the town"? This is just a sign of confidence but it doesn't mean anything. Everyone can talk, few can do, most can't accomplish. I think that being grateful pushes you forward to accomplish things because you see what you have done so far and keep focusing on it.

I will give you an example. You want to start your own restaurant. You have the finance and you spoke with some suppliers but still don't know how you're going to market it / create demand. This looks like a barrier but if you learn how to be grateful, you will see that you already have finance and contracts with suppliers, therefore push until you make it.

Before im always having self pity and losing all hopes because of my current situation, and I really feel im a worthless person. But then I’ve realized that every one of us is unique and have our own time where we can get what we want, and i think im getting there because of having a positive mind always, its like everything seems goes into place.

[Amadeo33]

Yes, it really helps! I want to say that basically all the things that happen to us are the result of our behavior. And the behavior is determined by thinking. In general, in fact, everything goes deep from the subconscious and if you learn to really look at things positive, it will help.

Your thoughts have direct influence on your mood. Yes it works
