Positive thinking is not “wishing for the best” while we do nothing to change it. It is an attitude that brings to life more solutions than problems. Things can be difficult in life. Yet if your mind is set to a more positive attitude, things might not get to you as much as they do.
Perhaps you would not experience as much stress, anxiety, anger, self-criticism, overthinking, feeling sad, etc. You could become more serene, confident, happy and able to achieve that much more.
What if, your positive thinking skills are there in your mind – but just hidden away and unavilable to be used?
