June 9 - negative thoughts

good advice and too true

I have a lot of negative mantras in my head. When I catch myself in a downward spiral, i stop and try to replace the negative thoughts with positive ones. Easier said than done.

I have several friends I am trying to convince that this is true!!!!

I always think positive, I always trust that even when things get bad or uncomfortable I will still always have exactly what I need to get through! Thing is, I always DO HAVE WHAT I NEED, it is great!

I learned about positive thinking years ago. I believed I would find a better job closer to home and I did. When I am tired and have to stop at the store on the way home, the first non handicapped space usuallyopens up for me right when I need it too. Other good things happen because I believe they will, I let them, and I am always thankful!!!

B F., thank you for responding

Wilma D., Much easier said than done.
As I am learning to live The Secret I am finding life getting better because it teaches us how to stop those negative mantras.

Kimber L., I am so glad for you.
I am learning to live like this and I am finding that what you are saying is true.
Life is getting better everyday, I know that sounds corney but it is true.

I have had so much stuff happen to me in my life that would have broken many people if they approached it with anegative attitude. 20 operations in 14 years to repair major damage including the reattachment of my severed leg, 4 different back operations and constant pain from the first day of the accident until this ver day. People always ask me, "how do you go on and keep such a positive attitude". My response is believe me some days that is much harder than others and there are negative moments. If you let them beat you though you may as well just lay down in the corner because you are already dead!!! To look at me on most days you wouldn't even be able to tell anything is wrong, or to tell about the different metal screw, rods and braces tha I have in our different parts of my body and people comment on that all of the time. Again tha answer to that is that I busted my rump and went through a lot of major physical therapy and brutal pain to get to that point where it LOOKS like there is nothing wrong with me, because the alternative was to say, "screw that I will sit at home the rest of my life, collect the disability that they decide to grace me with and be miserable as a non-functioning member of society". I'd rather get out there whenever I can, do a great job, make people laugh, enjoy their company, especially the company of one beautiful lady in particular that I never would have met if I had just rolled into that corner. That is what I think positive thinking has done for me. As Monty Python sad "always look on the bright side of life"

Funny thing is that I don't even think I am special because I have seen people like my sister who has so far beaten Pancreatic Cancer and my Manager at work who lost both of her 20 something sons in last than a three month period and both of them keep on keeping on. They are special!!!! Or my beautiful brown eyed girl Terry who came through a life of child abuse with a mother that didn't seem to be capable of showing real continued love and turned out to be the most fantastic mother that I have ever seen to her two children and totally beat that "cycle of abuse". She is very special!!!

I used to have a friend that no matter what I wanted to do, she had a negative comment about it. I finally moved away from her.

Wise and powerful words.

I too have given up friends because of negative attitudes.

I find that the more upbeat I am the better able I am to deal with life.

Bob C., You touched me so deeply I don't even know what to say.

You are very special, but not because of the things that has happened to you, we all have a life story, but because through it all you have not lost sight of the important things and you keep a positive attitude.
Keep it up!!!!!!

YOu really should show the other people you mentioned this little write up, I am sure they would appreciate it.

Take care and I hope you talk to me again.

Kate Keeley, thank you for responding.

Marilyn who returns comments S., I hope no too many.

carmel m., I find the same thing.

J R B., sorry I missed you.
Wise move to leave the negative people to themselves.
Jeff and I did that a few years ago and I am much happier for it.

I try to do that but sometimes those damn negative ones sneak in.

suey v., me too!!!
I try so very hard but I get tired and all of a sudden I have some stinkin thinkin happening. grrrrr

Yes, I know this in theory. But it is very hard NOT to do this in real life.

I tend to worry too much.

Very wise and useful advice. I know at times I am still very negative, but I find the more positive I am, the easier things seem to be. I just wish it wasn't so hard sometimes to keep those negative thoughts away. Especially since there seems to be so many other negative people out there. Thanks for sharing and peace.

Selene N., me too, it is alot easier in theory than practice in life. lol
Thank you for the comments.

Kimber F., There really are a lot of negative people out there and they seem to gravitate to me. grrr lol
Thank you for sharing.

i hear you Susan... powerful stuff... i agree...

I agree necee, powerful!!!
