Nothing ever went Ned’s way. I used to hear him say all of the time, if there were 2 doors, one had a pile of cow poop behind it and the other had a Million dollars, I would pick the poop every time. He seemed like he had a rain cloud hanging over his head wherever he went. Ned’s consistent vocabulary would sound something like this:

Do you know someone like this? Are you like this? These kind of affirmations on a daily basis create this reality for yourself. A negative thought process is a learned way of thinking, and must be un-learned. Maybe we were raised in a family that made a lot of these comments, or maybe it is a track that we got on, all by ourselves because of something negative that happened in our lives.

I am here today to tell you that it does not have to be this way, and things can change for the better. It will take some work to change the things that we are in a habit of saying and thinking about ourselves, but it can be accomplished by taking one step at a time.

Lets vow to stop making excuses for ourselves, you have taken the right steps in order to build yourself up. It is important that you continue to climb the ladder of positivity instead of climbing down. In reading this material, something has opened your eyes and given you an idea to make changes in your life. Don’t throw away the tips in this article, but instead use them to make positive change in your life.

Changing our attitudes is one key ingredient in becoming what we want. You can change your way of thinking with some short but sweet psychological tricks. You have to change what’s in your subconscious in order to create a mind of good attitude and habits. When you keep saying negative things about yourself, it’s going to stick with you. For an example, if you continuously call yourself stupid, that’s going to stick with you and it is going to come up every single time you try something new and continue to make mistakes. That in itself is going to hinder your studies or your job. Don’t put yourself down. If you continue doing it, you are going to actually believe it even though it isn’t true. When you grew up, you learned to tie your shoes, simple mathematics, and your nursery rhymes, you repeated them continuously until you knew them by heart. That’s what you do to yourself negatively if you keep calling yourself stupid.

We all can undo negative talk by actually reversing it. Learn to be good to ourself by being respectful. By being respectful, act accordingly and treat yourself accordingly. Think about your actions. Critically think positively. You can be a critical thinker without being negative about yourself. Critical thought can actually be constructive if you allow yourself to do it. It’s a good way to mature and grow as a person. Critically think about your past failures and how you can effectively change those habits that caused those past behaviors. If you are a procrastinator, learn punctuality, if you are an excuse maker, work your way out of your excuses, and if you are self critical, think of how wonderful you are and your strong points.

Visualization is a good tool also for a positive attitude. If we visualize ourself succeeding at something in our mind. If we repeat those successful thoughts over and over again. We will succeed when we actually go after what we want. Many books that we read concerning Self Help Psychology will teach you these tools, but we don’t have to constantly read these books, or continue buying them over and over again in order to do this. Just practice thinking positively about any situation we want to do and we will win in one way or another. If a situation doesn’t turn out the way we expected it to turn out, it might turn out better. If we look for the greater good in everything, we will win every time.

We can obtain knowledge through self-study or through college if we remain positive. Excuses are only reflections of our weaknesses and to improve them we can use goals, affirmations, visualizations, constructively assess ourselves to success. Take Care my friends.
