When staying positive you will need to control one thing....your mind. Your mind will think before it speaks. So with your mind you can change your perception. With your body you can relax and breathe. Staying positive is very important to a healthy environment, whether at work, home, or school. If you are gloomy, then your day will definitely by gloomy. The Secret gave a whole discovery on the outcomes of perception and the cycle of feedback on positivity and negativity.
Perceptions can consist of thoughts. When we replace our thoughts with positive ones then we can really change our perception and mood. According to David Arredando, the cortex in the brain invents thoughts but we can replace them and master our own mind. See his presentation on the three parts of the brain to better understand thoughts and feelings. On one slide he has a pyramid to describe the depths of perception, starting with thoughts, as everything begins with a thought, then sensations, following by the feeling and emotion caused by the thought and sensation. To finally to put us in the mood we will end in, starting from a thought. Important to consider.
THE MIND
The mind is so powerful that it is all you will need to live life. Many have discovered that if you quiet the mind, in that way you can control the mind. Once you have a hold of your mind then you can think and be whoever you want to be. Moreover, you will not be susceptible to victimizing and hopeless thinking. Know for a fact, that where you are in your life right now is because of your mind. To change your life, you must change your mind. If you are where you want to be, then you can reflect back and see how powerful your mind has become.
