Making Your Way Towards
Resilient Positive Thinking

I take that since you are reading this site, you are interested in positive thinking and in getting a better life through it. You may even want to acquire a lasting positive attitude. So...

There is you, deciding that you want to apply positive thinking as much as you can, go out to the world and do it.

Then some bad news come in, or you seem to have a difficult day, and the positive thinking goes down the drain.

Is everything lost?

No, not really, no need to be hard on yourself. Your capacity for positive thinking is still there, but it is simply hidden temporarily. It is waiting for you to use it again and get back on track (for extreme situations you can check these tips on survival positive thinking).

Resilient positive thinking grows from persistence. It means exactly that: when you realize that you are or have been in a negative state, you need to pick yourself up and exist in the positive again.

No shame. Only courage. You fall? What are you waiting for, get up again!

This is easier if you accept that we all make mistakes and that we cannot be perfect 100% of the time. The point is not to be positive all the time.

The point is to benefit from your own applying of positive thinking as much as you can, and get back to it whenever you feel you are off track. Build your resilience with these positive I statements, have a look at these positive thinking ideas, and get inspiration from these Louise Hay affirmations.

Be a phoenix bird

A person determined to enjoy positive thinking is a bit like the phoenix bird, that is reborn from its own ashes.

Such a person goes on, falls, gets up again with even more strength, and the pure action reinforces resilient positive thinking.

While all that happens, the person also gets to learn better how to build resilience, and is able more and more to remain positive in negative circumstances.

If you truly want to make yourself a much more positive and stress-free person, then decide that you will be courageous and you will do your best to deal with any situation successfully. You could use these positive thinking daily affirmations or this positive attitude tip to support you.

You also need to move on

Don't dwell on temporary negative circumstances. Focus your mind on the next step you want to take for yourself; choose to concentrate on something that will make you closer to your goals. If you first need to determine what your goals are, then Susan Minarik can give you a hand with her program "Winning the tomorrow game".

Thinking about oneself and getting back to your own projects is a great tool to build resilient positive thinking. When you focus on what you want to accomplish, you create in yourself a sense of worthiness and purpose, which generates good, positive energy.

This energy is your fuel. The better you feel with your life, yourself and what you do, the easier it is to build resilient positive thinking that will help you in difficult circumstances (find out more about the importance of the positive feeling). It is a step for maintaining a positive attitude.
