3 Tips to Being Positive

      "The practice of positive thinking implies that negative thoughts must be avoided.  As for negative thinking, it is not something to be feared, shunned, or replaced: the ironic truth is - it has its positives too."  ~ Garrett Kramer, The Path of No Resistance

     I'm sure you've heard how important it is to be positive.  And how "bad" it is to be negative. And how thinking negative thoughts draws negative to you.  The prevailing new age wisdom is that each time you have a negative thought, immediately replace it with a positive thought. 

Don't Shoot the Messenger!

     The problem with immediately replacing a negative thought with a positive thought is this: Negative thoughts are symptoms. And symptoms are a message from the body-mind.  When we immediately dismiss a negative thought, we shoot the messenger. And when we shoot the messenger, we don't receive the message.

     The other thing is, negative thoughts are energetically weak.  Even one positive thought negates the effects of a bushel-full of negative ones, especially if its accompanied by positive feeling and emotion. So give yourself a break and don't worry too much about the effects of your negative thoughts, which can just make you more negative! A single negative thought has about as much power as a dust bunny under your bed.

A Shift in Perspective

     To be positive, we need a shift in perspective....the higher-self perspective. When you are feeling negative and thinking small, it's because you are living from a small part of you.  That small part categorizes everything as either bad or wrong, or good or right.  But your symptoms aren't bad.  They are messages from a part of you that needs some healing, or is in the process of healing. Either way, its all good.

     I know so many individuals who are experiencing all kind of physical-emotional symptoms -- anxiety, racing heart, shaking, vibrations and tingling, strange transient aches and pains, feeling weepy and vulnerable. And they think it is bad. This is very understandable given the cultural belief that symptoms = pathology. But our body-minds are responding to the ever increasing frequencies on the planet. Our body-minds are making the necessary adjustments to sync with our spirit, which creates ascension symptoms.  Its all good.

How to be Positive

     To be positive, have compassion for yourself. 

1. Send love to the part of you that is afraid. 
2. Send love to the part of you that is thinking negative thoughts.
3. Send love to the part of you that thinks it's bad. 

     Every part of you is deserving of love. The simple act of feeling compassion automatically shifts you to your higher self.  And that's how you become positive. More about this HERE
