Motivate To Activate A Positive Lifestyle

2008-03-25来源:

What do you do when things in your life don't turn out to your satisfaction? What do you do when your goal-setting plans go astray, or when you expect something special in your life to happen and it just doesn't work out?

What happens to you when you have a major financial crisis, a serious health problem, a family problem or anything that suddenly disrupts your whole life? Do you give up? Throw in the towel? Or do you say, "I knew things wouldn't work out I'lljust give up.

I Hope this is not what happens to you! That is Not "The Cure" No! No! No! Don't let a little temporary failure get you down.Never give up. This is the time to develop a positive mindset to ward off those negative feelings.

Hurry!! Get some positive input before you DIE OUT ... FIZZLE OUT ... LOSE FAITH. Quick!! Get rid of that "STINKIN THINKIN" (the phrase that the famous Zig Ziglar uses) before it gets so bad that you can't stand it any longer.

OK! So what do you do now? What's the answer to your problem? Here's what I recommend you do when you have been dealt with any disappointments or major challenges in your life.

(1) STOP!! What you are doing immediately.

(2) Find a place to relax. Sit back in your favoritelounge chair or lie down in your bed or couch. If youare in your car pull off the road and find a quietplace to park.

(3) Close your eyes. Do not think of anything negative. Infact,empty your mind of any negative thoughts that youhave right now. (It may not be easy but try hard anyway)And most importantly, put that recent failure completelyout of your mind.

(4) Now, picture in your mind the last time you had the mostpleasurable successes and/or positive experiencesin your life

For example:

* You won a big contest.

* You had the largest sales figure in your company.

* You got a company promotion you had been strivingfor years

* You won a two-week cruise package.

* You had a dramatic increase in your investment

* You solved a serious problem in your life you've had fora long time.

(5) OK. Now make this picture as vivid as possible. Give itcolor, texture, motion, the excitement it generated atthe time. Do whatever gives you the most vivid pictureof it.

(6) Think. What did you do before to make this success sucha joyous experience? Did you cause it to happen or didsomeone else help contribute to the pleasantexperience? If you caused it, exactly what did you doto make it come about? If someone else helped to makeit happen, what did he or she do to help you make itrealty?

(7) Finally dwell on these thoughts for a few minutes andsee if you can apply any positive action to the goal orsituation in your life that just failed.

Do you see a positive solution now? Will this exercise help you find the "cure all" for your "stinkin thinkin" in the future?.

Do you see what I'm trying to get you to do here? I want you to get some views of positive past experiences in your life. This will help you set up a strong determination so that nothing will prevent you from ever achieving the goals you s
