Or are we are the whim of our minds and have no way to do anything about it?
It seems that some people are naturally positive and others are much more negative. Even in the same family, there are some members who usually see the good side of things and others in the family that just think that the worst thing will happen in everything they do. And then there are those who are a balance of both. At times they are very positive, then without even knowing why, they are extremely negative. And then there are those that, upon meeting new people, will spend some time evaluating the other person before settling on a positive or negative stance (this is often subconscious).
Have you ever been with someone who is very negative and suddenly you find yourself being very negative too. It is very easy to fall into that trap, and takes some little adjustments to mind and will to get on top of this insidious mindset.
Being negative or positive is a choice, always choose to look for the good in any situation or person, as there is always good there if you look hard enough for it. Remember you possess the power of your own mind to be either positive by the effort of the will, and it is also true that you are able to allow yourself to fall into a low, negative state by choice of a weak will. Many more people live in this mindset, however, a positive thought vibration is much more powerful than a negative one and therefore helps to create balance.
The fact that we can raise our mental levels is one of the secrets of the autosuggestions and affirmations community. While there is no merit in affirmations, however, they do tend to raise the mental vibration (or thought vibration, or mindset), plus they also help to establish new mental attitudes and mindsets in us.
Affirmations are not new; we do them all the time. When we say things like, “I can’t do such and such” or “I’m too whatever”, we are making affirmations. Those affirmations are creating thought vibrations that bring about what we are continually affirming. We should never allow ourselves to be drawn into other people’s mindsets, especially those with negative mindsets. If we can raise ourselves to higher thoughts, then we will change our lives bit by bit. As we do this over time, we will just naturally gravitate to more positive minded friends and create more positive conditions and circumstances happening regularly in our lives.
The more we recognise the words we are saying and change our minds which in turn will change our words, we will see our world change before our eyes and we will be more immune to the negative happenings that occur more than we could ever want.
Yes, we can control our mindset and the sooner we do this, the more our life will reflect the life we have always wanted to live. Don’t ever give up on your own personal growth and by watching or evaluating our words is the beginning of our new and exciting life.
