I took a course recently that strongly suggested that we stop being negative. I participated at a high level and it resulted in tremendously helping me personally and in my business. I’m not judging, I’m just saying that negative thoughts result in negative actions. From a scientific prospective, we were taught that our cells actually eavesdrop on our thoughts and subsequently we become our thoughts. So the theory here is to have positive thoughts and you will get positive actions. Now this is nothing new there are many books written on the subject. One famous book I can think of is: The power of positive thinking by Norman Vincent Peale. We may not be able to control our 1st thought but we can control our second and with enough practice we can eventually control our every thought. To achieve this, the course taught us to wear a rubber bracelet and we were to switch wrists every time we had a negative thought. What this resulted in was a raised level of awareness of all the negative energy in our lives and to focus on changing our thoughts. As the weeks went by, I found myself receiving phone calls from family and friends, wanting me to come and list their homes, or help them find a home. The positive energy came pouring in and I believe it was a result of putting positive energy out. I feel it helped me in my personal life as well; one result was it helped me become a better listener. Really listening to people helped me isolate the actual issues and not focus on the “smoke” so to speak, instead to focus on the “fire”. In practicing this, I have been able to give great advice, which helped my loved ones and clients alike. My big take away from the course: when we have positive energy we can use it to have a great life.
