Does positive thinking work? How?
Public Comments
1. Positive thinking brings inner peace, success, improved relationships, better health, happiness and satisfaction. It also helps the daily affairs of life move more smoothly, and makes life look bright and promising.
Positive thinking is contagious. People around you pick your mental moods and are affected accordingly. Think about happiness, good health and success, and you will cause people to like you and desire to help you, because they enjoy the vibrations that a positive mind emits.
In order to make positive thinking yield results, you need to develop a positive attitude toward life, expect a successful outcome of whatever you do, but also take any necessary actions to ensure your success.
Effective positive thinking that brings results is much more than just repeating a few positive words, or telling yourself that everything is going to be all right. It has to be your predominant mental attitude. It is not enough to think positively for a few moments, and then letting fears and lack of belief enter your mind. Some effort and inner work are necessary.

Interesting way to spell "beauty" !
Anyway, apparently the majority of thoughts that occur to us in a day are negative; this comes naturally. It takes discipline and practice to do otherwise. Every thought or statement we make is an affirmation which leaves a mark on our subconscious mind. Repeating them regularly will reinforce them and eventually our subconscious will take these as truth. Consequently, our brain will strive to achieve what it thinks is a fact. Hence, it is better to have thoughts which encourage us to achieve our goals.
These affirmations can be positive or negative. Negative affirmations do not help us in any way. They make our mind believe in things that are not helpful to our personality in any way. For instance, a negative affirmation will make you believe that you will fail in any task even before you begin. Contrary to this, a positive affirmation is always encouraging and builds your confidence to take on any task in the world.
As a key part of "The Law of Attraction", Positive Thinking is actually a Universal Law; meaning it doesn't only exist here on earth, but throughout the Universe !
If you could picture the Universe as a Hologram, where all the pixels are interlinked and related you might be able gain an insight as to how this law works. All the atoms that appear to make up our Universe have a common electrical charge that interlinks them in much the same way.
This includes of course those that our brains consist of; meaning our minds have a physical connection with all matter.
It's true, however like most laws and contracts conditions apply.
It's not magic and won't make a rabbit appear out of ones proverbial hat, nor will it park a Porsche in your driveway overnight.
Positive Thinking really needs to be studied to be understood.
Actually it's just one of a series of laws that all compliment one another.
Once these are understood and put into practice, it all comes together like a jigsaw puzzle and things begin happening !
