What do you do when things in your life don't turn out to your
satisfaction? What do you do when your goal-setting plans go astray, or when you expect something special in your life to happen and it just doesn't work out?
What happens to you when you have a major financial crisis, a serious health problem, a family problem or anything that suddenly disrupts your whole life? Do you give up? Throw in
the towel? Or do you say, "I knew things wouldn't work out I’ll just give up.
I Hope this is not what happens to you! That is Not "The Cure" No! No! No! Don’t let a little temporary failure get you down. Never give up. This is the time to develop a positive mindset to ward off those negative feelings.
Hurry!! Get some positive input before you DIE OUT ... FIZZLE OUT ... LOSE FAITH. Quick!! Get rid of that
"STINKIN THINKIN" (the phrase that the famous Zig Ziglar uses) before it gets so bad that you can't stand it any longer.
OK! So what do you do now? What’s the answer to your problem? Here’s what I recommend you do when you have been dealt with any disappointments or major challenges in your life.
(1)STOP!! What you are doing
immediately.
(2)Find a place to relax. Sit back in
your favorite lounge chair or lie
down in your bed or couch. If you
are in your car pull off the road
and find a quiet place to park.
(3)Close your eyes. Do not think of
anything negative. In fact,empty
your mind of any negative thoughts
that you have right now. (It may
not be easy but try hard anyway)
And most importantly, put that
recent failure completely out of
your mind.
(4)Now, picture in your mind the
last time you had the most
pleasurable successes and/or
positive experiences in your Life
For example:
*You won a big contest.
* You had the largest sales
figure in your company.
*You got a company promotion
you had been striving for years
*You won a two-week cruise
package.
*You had a dramatic increase in
your investment
*You solved a serious problem
in your life you’ve had for
a long time.
(5)OK. Now make this picture as vivid
as possible. Give it color,
texture, motion, the excitement it
generated at the time. Do whatever
gives you the most vivid
picture of it.
(6)Think. What did you do before to
make this success such a joyous
experience? Did you cause it to
happen or did someone else help
contribute to the pleasant
experience? If you caused it,
exactly what did you do to make it
come about? If someone else helped
to make it happen, what did he or
she do to help you make it
realty?
(7)Finally dwell on these thoughts for
a few minutes and see if you can
apply any positive action to the
goal or situation in your life that
just failed.
Do you see a positive solution now? Will this exercise help you find the
"cure all" for your "stinkin thinkin" in the future?.
Do you see what I’m trying to get you to do here? I want you to get some views of positive past experiences in your life. This will help you set up a strong determination so that nothing will prevent you from ever achieving the goals you so desperately want for yourself.
You see one of the biggest problems people face is that they are surrounded by all kinds of negative imput from other people, the news media, challenges that occur periodically, disappointments and a host of other things that happen to you daily.
So what’s the solution? You have to counteract by taking control of what goes into your mind. You don’t want negative imput to get you off track for achieving goals and handling challenges. You need to spent at least 30 minutes a day (preferably in the morning) flooding your mind with positive messages you find on CD’s, Audio’s, Video’s in Books.
By applying a simple step-by-step formula you’ll be able to create a “Sunny Day” in your mind everyday no matter what the weather is outside. Because a “Sunny Day” really does start in the mind if you desire it.
