There’s Power in Positive Thinking

The things that we think about and dwell on tend to be our mindset and help determine our mood. We have no control over circumstances but we can control our thoughts about them.  That means that we have the power to control what type of day we will have by controlling what we allow ourselves to think about. If you go to work thinking that your day will be awful, then it will be. Focusing on staying positive and dismissing negative thoughts takes practice. It also takes prayer and patience.

It’s not always easy being positive. Sometimes you might be the only person in the room who is being positive, but if you maintain your attitude you can have a positive effect on the rest of the people in the room.

I have found that negative attitudes can be so overwhelming that I’ve had to leave the room to escape them. Some people refuse to be positive and see negativity in everything. Their complaining is constant and it can be physically draining. Don’t let them get to you. Pray for them and continue to encourage them by pointing out positive things that affect them directly. If you’re the negative person in the room, stop what you’re doing and give God praise for anything that he has done for you. I guarantee your mood will be elevated! Think about the things he has done for you or the people you love.

There is a bigger picture that we tend to forget about. Sometimes the things that ‘happen’ to you are not always just about you. God knows what he’s doing just continue to trust him.

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” (Philippians 4:8)
