And The Question Is...
Does Positive Thinking Work?

Positive thinking is also supported by quantum physics, which state that everything (thoughts included) is made up of energy that vibrates at different frequencies.

Thoughts become things

When we ask 'Does positive thinking work?' we include the realization that our thoughts define our attitudes and create the reality around us.

In this way, positive thinking is a way of acknowledging that there are certain thoughts that make us feel good, and so we choose to think in that line.

Good news is, we don't have to try to change all of our life at once: we only need to deal with one thought at a time.

Faith

There is a certain degree of faith in those of us who claim that positive thinking works.

A positive thinker knows that thinking positively may not create changes immediately (though in my personal experience sometimes it does), but it surely will overtime.

Therefore there is trust in the fact that our thoughts influence our reality.

Even from a Christian point of view, Norman Vincent Peale proclaimed that positive thinking works in this famous book "The power of positive thinking".

Say I have faith; does positive thinking work?

Some experiments have shown that positive thinking doesn't work for everybody.

Defensive pessimists use a strategy that could look like negative thinking to optimist people, but that helps them to cope with anxiety and be successful: it is also called negative positive thinking.

People with a large amount of distress due to serious problems, like chronic alcoholism or a history of family abuse, may find that positive thinking is not the quickest or most appropriate solution to overcome their issues, since many other factors are involved.

As a conclusion: does positive thinking work?

While I would answer yes to this question, you may find someone who defends that positive thinking does not work. Whatever the case, it is true that how we think about any issue does affect the way we experience it.

Remember that ultimately you've got the power to choose how you think about anything. In this way, we can choose to think thoughts that build the life of our dreams, as explained in "Infinite Possibilities".
