You may not believe it, but your positive thinking brings positive benefits in your life. Ah, that’s a crock of crap, you may be thinking. But just take a moment to consider the concept of positive thinking.
I will give you an interesting scenario that may help you to understand the benefits of positive thinking. Okay, let’s say that you are in a grocery store and you are in a long line. Your patience is ALREADY being tried and the cashier has a really funky attitude. Now, you could react negatively to all the negative energy that is being put out there, or you could try thinking positive.
Let’s go with positive thinking in this scenario. Instead of thinking about how rotten the whole situation is, you try thinking positively about it. You tell yourself that maybe the cashier is having an off day and she is not normally so irritable and unfriendly. Instead of a sour look on your face, you offer the cashier a smile, and respond to the nastiness of the cashier by saying, “Wow, it’s kind of busy in here. You must be having a trying day.”
What you have done here with your positive thinking is to diffuse some of the negativity in the atmosphere. Now, nine times out of ten, you will get a positive response from the cashier and maybe even a smile. By acknowledging that the cashier is not just an employee, but also a person, you have just used the power of positive thinking to not only boost your mood, but the mood of those around you also.
You may have even been in a similar situation at one time or another. And if you handled it poorly that time, next time try positive thinking to help you through.
And here’s a quick tip for you also - the simple act of smiling when you are feeling down helps to boost your mood. Go ahead and give it a try.
