The wise man changes his mind. The fool will never.

There can be no progress without change and no growth without renewal.

Hi, I'm HC and watching this video until the end will help you understand

yourself deeper than you understand it now.

Stay tuned.

Positive thinking can be practiced, and like anything rehearsed, the more it is

repeated, the better you get at it.

According to its definition, positive thinking is a mental attitude in which

you expect good and favorable results.

In other words, positive thinking is the process of creating thoughts that

promote an optimal and opportune reality.

Simply put, It is nourishing your mind with the quality energy it needs to

function at the zenith of its abilities.

Positive thoughts encourage healthy relationships, a productive lifestyle,

as well as an encouraging attitude to your peers.

A positive mind awaits fulfillment, health, and a constructive ending in any

situation. This is why knowing how to think positively is such an important

factor. on the journey of you becoming your best you.

So, without further ado, here are the steps on how to think positively.

In this context, replacement is the act of substituting negative

thoughts with positive thoughts immediately upon their inception.

Simply put, as soon as a negative thought enters your mind, replace it

with a positive one.

This practice will help exercise your mind to become more constructive about

the events happening in your life.

For example, say you have an exam that you need to pass next week, and thus you

have been studying countless hours in preparation for the exam.

Even though you may be well prepared, negative thoughts and doubts may still

linger, saying, what if I forget everything during the test?

What if I'm not actually well-prepared and I just think I'm well-prepared?

Always remember, thoughts are things, and those thoughts may lead to exactly

what they are suggesting, no matter how unlikely that reality may be.

Practice replacement by immediately replacing those thoughts as they enter

your mind with encouraging thoughts such as...

I will remember everything during the exam, and I will pass with flying

colors. Or, I have done my best to be the most prepared possible.

I have a great chance of doing amazing on this test.

This does not mean to think on top of those negative thoughts.

This practice literally means to use the energy dedicated to the negative

thinking and transforming them into positive thoughts.

manifesting your desires.

As said by Albert Einstein, energy cannot be created or destroyed.

It can only be changed from one form to another.

Therefore, according to that same concept, use all the energy that is

being used for negativity and find ways to express them into positivity.

It may not be easy at first, but through practice, your mind will become stronger

and adapt to consistent positive thought.

Give it a try.

As per its definition, a mantra is a statement

or slogan repeated frequently.

Basically, sentences that you say to yourself consistently.

Your words are much more powerful than you think.

And slowly but surely, you begin to believe what you say to yourself on a

regular basis.

In this context, creating a mantra is creating a group of words or phrases

that you will repeat to yourself whenever you feel lost, alone, down, or

in doubt.

In the same way that corporations use consistent advertising to tell you the

same message over and over and over.

Until you believe in and stand by their products, you will create sentences to

repeat to yourself as often as necessary.

Until you believe in and stand by yourself.

Creating a mantra and repeating it frequently will encourage your belief in

the mantra, which will in turn encourage its manifestation.

Just like when you hear a song that you don't like at first listen.

But after hearing it so many times on so many different occasions, you start to

think, well, I guess the song is not that bad.

And you realize you already know all of the lyrics.

With your personal mantras, your mind will work in the same way. However, this

time with positive messaging, encouraging a life of fulfillment.

Your mantra could be simple.

as it could be long and complex, but always be sure that it is true to you.

Failure is a state of mind.

To believe that failure is the end is a choice.

Not only is failure a necessary element to your success, to fail means that

there is an open opportunity to do better on your next attempt.

This simply implying that failure is only finite if you accept to stop

trying. The only thing that can truly stop your progress in this reality is

not being alive at all.

Therefore, in failure, you are either learning to accomplish what you are

meant to accomplish or learning that you should use your skills elsewhere.

Refusing failure means to continue to manifest your truth at any cost.

Accept that you can accomplish anything you put your mind to.

Changing your perception of failure will encourage positive avenues for your mind

to create with.

Accepting your growth is coming to terms with the natural phenomena

of change.

As your dreams are manifested, you will dream bigger and differently than you

once did, and as life progresses, your ideas will grow.

It is important not to work against yourself by trying to live a dream that

is outdated to you.

This means don't cling to old dreams out of habit, out of the desire to impress

people, or to keep a consistent image of yourself.

As all things in nature, you mature and change.

Think of your life as the life of a butterfly.

At first, you are but a caterpillar.

Imagine crawling slowly to get to your destinations.

As a caterpillar, your biggest goal might be to get the food on the tree

branch, crawling as fast as you could, because that is all you know.

It is impossible for you to Know the feeling of being crystallized inside of

a cocoon. You have never experienced it.

Going into the cocoon is the beginning of a new you and thus the death of the

old you.

Once inside the cocoon, you will have cocoon thoughts and a cocoon life

experience.

Again, you have no idea of the feeling and the mind frame of what is to come in

the next step of your life.

All you have is now.

It is not possible for you to know the feeling of flapping your wings. You have

never had wings.

But alas, you change again.

Once you are out of the cocoon, you will instinctively learn to flap your wings

and fly away.

As a caterpillar, your greatest desires will be different than those in your

life as a cocoon, which will also differ from those in your life as a butterfly.

Your life experience works in the same way as this example.

Accept your growth and don't be afraid to change your ideas as you change.

As said by Raymond Hollywell, The wise man changes his mind, the fool

will never.

There can be no progress without change and no growth without renewal.

Show gratitude for the things you have.

A great way to begin thinking positively is to become cognizant of the things

that you have been blessed with so far.

From the people in your life to the possessions you own to your health.

Being thankful is a great way to begin your journey in positive thinking.

Enumerating the things you are thankful for may even remind you that your state

of mind has been negative for some time.

Always remember.

There was a time you wished for everything you have now.

Always give thanks.

Step six, positive actions.

This simply implies to partake in small positive actions throughout your day.

These actions will accumulate and encourage a sense of ease and even

accomplishment despite a not so great day.

Especially when your mind has consistent and often self-sabotaging thoughts,

doing positive or partaking in constructive actions in spite of how you

may feel will encourage a sense of pride and contentedness with self.

These actions could vary from kind gestures to small tasks on your to-do

list.

Although it may not seem like much during the action, once they accumulate,

you'll begin to feel proud of yourself for everything you did.

despite going through what you believe to be negative.

This will encourage positive thoughts about yourself and stimulate positive

thoughts on the perspective of your days overall.

So that's it people.

Those are the six steps on how to think positively and to start moving forward

today. Thank you for watching this video until the end. You are appreciated.
