Subconscious negative thoughts are destructive, and here are 10 tips for changing them to more positive ones
If we create our lives through the power of our thought, which is becoming more and more widely accepted as being true, we need to be able to switch our subconscious negative thoughts for more positive and constructive ones.
Sometimes this sounds easier than it actually is.
Much of our thoughts are habitual, and therefore we do not always have control over them.
It takes effort and time to replace negative thoughts for positive ones.
But this is an absolute necessity if you want to have control over your life and to be able to achieve the things that you truly desire.
I want to share 10 powerful tips from the book entitled the power of positive thinking by the infamous Norman Vincent Peale.
#1- remind yourself that god is with you and nothing can defeat you. Believe that you now receive power from him.
#2- Put yourself in god’s hands. To do the simply state, “I am in god’s hands.” Than believe you are now receiving all the power you need.
Feel it flowing into you. Affirm that “the kingdom of god is within you” (Luke 17:21) in the form of adequate power to meet life’s demands.
#3- make a true estimate of your own ability, then raise it 10%. Do not become egotistical, but develop a wholesome self respect. Believe in your own God released powers.
#4- 10 times each day practice the following affirmation, repeating it out loud if possible. “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me now” (Philippines 4:13).
Repeat those words now. The magic statement is the most powerful antidote on earth to inferiority thoughts.
#5- 10 times a day repeat these dynamic words, “if god be for us, who can be against us?” (romans 8:31).
#6-Get a competent counselor to help you understand why you do what you do. Learn of the origin of your inferiority and self doubt feelings which often begin in childhood. Self knowledge leads to a cure.
#7- do not be awestruck by other people and try to copy them. Nobody can be you as efficiently as you can.
Remember also that most people, despite their confident appearance and demeanor, are often as scared as you are and as doubtful of themselves.
#8- do not build up obstacles in your imagination. Depreciate every so called obstacle. Minimize them.
Difficulties must be studied and efficiently dealt with to be eliminated, but they must be seen for only what they are. They must not be inflated by fear thoughts.
#9- whenever a negative thought concerning your personal power comes to mind, deliberately voice a positive thought to cancel it out.
#10- formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind in mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop this picture.
Never think of yourself as failing; never doubt the reality of the mental image. That is most dangerous, for the mind always tries to complete what it pictures.
So always picture “success” no matter how badly things seem to be going at the moment.
Can you see how important it is to remove subconscious negative thoughts and replace them with more positive ones?
