The Power of Positive Thinking • Always use only positive words while thinking and while talking. Use words such as, 'I can', 'I am able', 'it is possible', 'it can be done', etc. • Allow into your awareness only feelings of happiness, strength and success. • Try to disregard and ignore negative thoughts. Refuse to think such thoughts, and substitute them with constructive happy thoughts. • In your conversation use words that evoke feelings and mental images of strength, happiness and success. • Before starting with any plan or action, visualize clearly in your mind its successful outcome. • Read at least one page of inspiring book every day. • Watch movies that make you feel happy. • Minimize the time you listen to the news and read the papers. • Associate yourself with people who think positively. • Walk, swim or engage in some other physical activity. This helps to develop a more positive attitude.
