Power of Thought - Experiment

There is a great article about the power of thought and how to overcome negative thought patterns written in Meridian Magazine. If you would like to see if you have a pattern of negative thinking (especially about yourself), read the article and follow the experiment. The experiment is to basically contribute $1.00 to charity every time you say something negative. At the end of the week you can see if you have a huge problem and perhaps be more motivated to change it. The only way to overcome negative thinking is to replace it with positive thinking -- make sure you replace your habit (pattern) with a pattern which will support you in your goals.

Key to Success - Power of Thought

Everyone knows someone who seems to attract negative experiences. No matter what happens, they don't even see they have a glass let alone if it's half full or half empty. What you focus on is what you will experience. If you dwell on the negative -- your life will be full of negative things.

However, you do have the power to choose the focus of your mind. Experiment on the power of thought. Every time a negative thought comes into your head, choose to change it into something positive. If someone cuts you off in traffic, don't get angry, just be grateful you didn't get into an accident.

People who succeed in life have a pattern of taking what life gives them and choosing to focus on what they are going to do with it -- they choose to focus on the positive. You attract what you think about -- so if you are focused on the good things in life, you will attract more good things. It's up to you.
