Negative VS Positive Thinking

Much of the stress and unhappiness of people’s lives is caused by negative thinking. There is a constant battle going on between negative and positive thoughts, and when there is some type of setback in your life, those negative thoughts can become rampant.

Sometimes, though even day-to-day living can be overwhelmed by negative thoughts for those who are unable to control their spread. Positive thinking is likely to have a beneficial effect on each of us.

There are a number of ways in which positive thinking can be manifested. One tool in the positive thinking armory can be visualization. What you see, feel and believe will become you in each and every area of your life.

You Can Control The Battle That Rages On In Your Mind

Appreciative-assertive thinking is a form of abundance thinking. We start with zero minimal expectations. We may set goals to receive a friendship, a good job, money, a nice home, or whatever else that might contribute to our happiness.

Yet there is no guarantee that we will obtain what we see, everything we receive is a bonus over our initial naked condition. Now, if I have chosen to be happy and want others to be happy because we seek it then we can assert it and become entitled to it.

Deficit motivation is victim motivation; abundance motivation is power motivation. If I view myself as having an abundance to meet my needs, I feel happy, grateful, and peaceful. Getting more is fun; in this case the rich get richer.

If I view myself as having a deficit of less than I need, I will feel like a victim deprived, anger, or depressed. In this case the poor get poorer.

Compare the Differences of Abundance Thinking and Deficit Thinking

Abundance thinking starts with having no assumptions about what we will receive in life. We develop zero expectations about what we will receive. We make zero assumptions about what anyone will give us.

Foster thinking by assuming that you are responsible for your own happiness. Developing your interest, knowledge, and skills in areas that make you happy. Know that even when you are poor, someone somewhere loves you.

My abundance comes not from the amount of money I have in the bank, but from the amount of happiness I have in my life. My health and family and good name out weigh all the gold and titles I could ever hold.

This positive assertion replaces all phrases like ‘should have’ or ‘must have’ with the phrase ‘I want.’ Assert that you want something based upon your choice of your ultimate concern for happiness for yourself and others.

Deficit motivation is victim motivation and has many negative consequences. When we choose to continue believing that we have less than we deserve or must have, then we defeat ourselves personally, in our employment and in any growth.

The consequences of deficit thinking are feeling hurt or resentful. We may view ourselves as victims. Deficit thinking can even create paranoid type thinking that other people reactively try to prevent us from getting what we deserve.

Negative assumptions about others often lead to either withdrawal from relationships or open anger and conflict. It also helps one focus more on whom to blame than on important issues. In addition, we may give ourselves negative messages that we are too weak to cope with any situation. Thus, how can we really be happy with such low self-esteem?

It’s up to you to choose and all of us will. Remember though, we have only this one life to live.
