An Attitude of Gratitude

The Importance of Gratitude

When you are sincerely grateful for the things you currently have in your life, then your mind tends to focus on those things. You will begin to change your mindset to a positive more enthusiastic outlook on what you already have. What you focus on most is what you will see the majority of the time. If you think of all the things that are going or have gone wrong in your life, you usually tend to focus only on what is wrong.

You place yourself in the position of being able to take advantage of the opportunities that will move you in the direction of what is is you want in life. Continue reading »

Positive Thinking

What is Positive Thinking?

It’s often easy to think that the way we feel is a result of either good or bad things happen that happen to us. But actually, the way we react and think about what the things that happen to us is far more important than the events we experience. The things that happen in our lives are not good or bad in themselves; it’s just the way we think and react to them that makes has a positive or negative effect upon us. Positive Thinking isn’t the same as Positive Affirmations.

Thinking positively isn’t always easy, in fact, in modern times, with the amount of negative news and media in the world, maintaining a positive outlook on the things that we experience can be tricky. When things are not going the way you want them to or something very upsetting happens to you, it is very easy to start feeling down about what you are experiencing. However, positive thinking is a skill that can be learned, and mastered, as long as you practice it regularly. Positive thinking is something that everyone has the ability to do. Continue reading »

Goal Setting

What is Goal Setting?

What is Goal Setting you may be asking yourself? Well, in fact you’re probably not asking yourself what goal setting is because, unless you have only recently arrived on planet earth then it is highly likely that you have heard of goal setting, practised goal setting in the past, or are currently doing something related to goals you have already set.

The reason Goal Setting is so important is that if you set a goal, and map out what you need to do to achieve it, you are far more likely to recognise the things that will take you in the direction of your goal. If you do not map out what is required to achieve your desires then it is unlikely you will ever achieve your dreams and desires. To put it simply, if you don’t know what you want in life then you will never achieve it. If you know what you want then you will find a way to work towards the achievement of that goal. That is why it is important to map it out. Continue reading »

What are Limiting Beliefs?

As children people often develop values and beliefs based on the cultural tradition and family morals that they are bought up with. However, these beliefs can often that can fall short in the validity department due to changing contemporary values and culture.

The beliefs we established as children were often established according to a different set of circumstances and situations that we now find our selves in as we grow into adults. But, because we love our family, culture and, more often than not, enjoyed our childhood and upbringing, we think our beliefs to be imbued with an innate wisdom and truth that transcends our contemporary situation. We decide that the ways of our parents and ancestors served them well all their lives (or so it seems) and so we instinctively fall under the illusion that what worked for them should work for me. It is a subconscious decision but essentially we accept the truths and perceptions of our forbears as our own reality. Continue reading »

What is Be Do Have?

Within the Self Help industry there is a significant focus on the practice of Be Do Have. The premise goes something like this. There are three models used to describe how people interact with the world and the people around them and everyone falls into one model much more so than the other.
