POSITIVE THINKING CHRONICLES :- CHAPTER SIX

Ch. 06: 
Surround Yourself With Positive

To me, hearing motivational material is empowering and stimulating yet soothing and relaxing at the same time. Capitalize on the wealth of data on personal accomplishment that's available today and you, as well, will soon be hooked on success.

Drink It In 

In the past fifty years approximately, unbelievable progress has been made in the areas of personal achievement and personal development. Individuals have committed their entire lives to the study of success. Their lives' work has been summed up in the books and audio platforms they've released. A lot of these books and platforms sit like concealed gems on shelves of bookstores and in warehouses, awaiting readers to find the life-changing info held inside. 

If these books and plans are really that mighty, why don't a lot of individuals read and listen to them? Here are the basic causes: 

• They don't believe the data will aid them. This is the most challenging obstruction for success writers to defeat. It requires belief, or faith, for a person to begin reading a book, begin listening to an audio course of study, or begin a program like this one. Ironically, a lot of these plans contain info that will help establish the faith needed; all the same, those without at least a little trust, or a willingness to retain an open mind, will never take that step. 
  
  
• Self-help content has gotten a foul "rap". In a few cases, this is well merited. There are a few writers, particularly on the matter of making income, that are, well... let's simply say less than certified to be giving advice. If you're purchasing a book on how to make a million bucks, is the writer a millionaire? Did he get to be a millionaire by marketing his "how to be a millionaire" books? Study about the writer(s) before you purchase a book or audio plan. Study reviews and see what other people have said. 
  
  
• They didn't feel they got anything out of former programs they've attempted. At the very least, their minds were submitted to hours of positive mental disciplining. It's actually really hard to pick up a book or listen to an audio plan and not acquire at least one beneficial idea or even life-changing concept. Seek that one idea and most of the time you'll discover many.
  

Now here are scarcely a few of the benefits of reading and listening to positive, motivational, and educational content. 

• Never feel like you're wasting time again. How much time do you expend a week driving in your car, sitting on public transportation, exercising, or doing any other action in which you're, or may be, listening to material of your choice? How much time do you expend waiting; in lines, for engagements, or for other people? This may be turned into some of your most useful time spent. 
  
  
• It's motivational. We're already cognizant of the might of motivation. Read or listen to the words of additional optimists that inspire you and give you mental might to do nearly anything you set your mind to. 
  
  
• It's educational. Training shouldn't stop after highschool or college. To develop as an person we should spend our lives fertilizing our brains with valuable info. Just like a lot of careers that necessitate ongoing training via seminars and conferences, you should take ongoing education for your own personal accomplishment. Your success in living depends on it. 
  
  
• We all require suitable mental training. From the time we were added to this earth till the present day, our minds have been programmed with negativity and confining beliefs. Some of this comes from our rearing, friends, colleagues, the news we read and the commercials we watch. By centering on positive material, we can virtually recondition our minds and substitute the negative, constraining beliefs we have about success with positive, endowing ones.
  

Here is a process for capturing the most out of non-fictional, self-help content. 

1. Study for comprehending. Personal development plans are jammed with data and tips that work best when they're retained in your conscious memory. Study or listen to the book or tape more than one time. Each time you do, your retentiveness of the info increases. Don't absorb too much data at a time. The average mind begins to drift and meander someplace between twenty and thirty minutes. When this occurs, call for a break. 
   
   
2. Assess. You surely don't have to trust everything you read or hear. Assess what the writer has to say with an clear mind. Does it add up to you? If you followed the belief, would it better your life? If so, why not give it a effort? Don't be put off by the writer even if you don't agree with most of what is stated. Take what you are able to from the plan and leave the remainder. 
   
   
3. Implement. It's said that knowledge without application isn't might; it's only likely might. Utilize and implement what you learn to your daily life. Only then will the info be of real worth to you. 
   
   
4. Recap. Return to your books, tapes, notes, and plans often and consider the times you've utilized the data. When you come across the benefits, it will produce a passion for learning keener than you've ever had earlier. 
   
   
5. Contribution. Make these books, tapes, and plans easily available to those you care about. Most individuals won't spend just a couple of dollars purchasing their own book or tape, but they might just read or listen to it if it's there.
