Money and Mindset The Key to your Financial Transformation

Introduction

You have undoubtedly heard about the benefits of positive thinking at some time in your life. This theory basically says that if you think that good things will happen to you, then there will be a cataclysmic shift in the energies around you that will result in wonderful things happening to you. As many individuals as there are who think positively, there are just as many who think positive thinking is nothing more than sugar-coated Peter Pan clichés or New Age pop psychology garbage. The worst part is that none of them are hurt.

Positive thinking is, as you can see, a belief system. Consequently, it will obviously fail if you think it won't work. You get the idea. And if you think it does work, well. Positive thinking is to non-believers like applying for a job after high school. Not only can experience help you land a job, but jobs help you acquire experience. Finding the right place to start might be challenging. However, like with any other process, the secret to using positive thinking to your advantage is to start small. Envision sowing seeds and mastering the art of caring for and nurturing them until your inner garden produces an exceptional yield every year. Though you may think it's all a lot of hoopla, anything is achievable when you think positively.

If you have zest and enthusiasm, you attract zest and enthusiasm, as stated the pioneer of positive thinking, Norman Vincent Peale. Life does really return the favors. This is the fundamental idea behind optimistic thinking. It is more of a contagious disease than a hypothesis. Humor and happiness spread from person to person just as quickly as anger and negativity do; except positive emotions spread much more swiftly. Consider this: have you ever observed that cracking a joke is usually the fastest method to defuse a heated situation? Everyone in the area feels relieved when someone smiles or laughs.

If the enraged parties are not made to feel any better, at least they may talk about the issue objectively and detachedly and move on with their life rather than wallowing in bitterness. Because no one else is nearby to relieve their anger and offer positive vibes, lone drivers who get stuck in traffic also tend to stay irritated for the duration of the drive. Doesn't that make sense?

You already have the seeds of belief if you've taken up this book and read thus far. The next thing you need to do is prepare to plant by clearing the garden of doubt from your thoughts. You are going to discover how to take all that negativity and turn it into opportunities by mulching it down into fertilizer. Let's go into the garden now that you have your shovel.

Sowing the seeds

You should start small when trying to harness the power of positive thinking, especially if you don't think it will work. It's one thing to promise yourself that you won't hit the snooze button a dozen times and spend the rest of the day feeling sleepy come morning, but it's quite another to promise yourself that you'll be living independently, wealthy, and in a mansion when you wake up in the morning. (Unless, of course, you are suddenly independently wealthy and residing in a mansion; in that case, you may attempt to acquire possession of a small nation by deception.)

Destroying your thinking, or at least slightly altering it, is the first step in using positive thinking to your advantage. To create space for fresh approaches and concepts, you must first eliminate all the outdated negative habits you have accumulated over the course of your life. Some people may find that this is a gradual process. As you observe the benefits of positive thinking, you will gradually be able to plant the seeds of change and get rid of the belief that wonderful things only happen to other people.

What's currently in your garden?

What is it that prevents you? Some people may have concerns about leaving their lives in the hands of their thoughts, even if they completely subscribe to the positive thinking notion. Your mental garden may be overrun by weeds from a variety of sources, and the easiest method to eradicate a weed is to pull it out by its roots. This part will cover some of the most typical obstacles people run into while trying to adopt a positive view on life, along with strategies for overcoming them and building a solid foundation.

Self-Esteem: Contracting the I adore me virus

Self-esteem was an unknown concept for most of the human history, comparable to the notions of heretics who thought the globe was round. During the 1960s and 1970s, the phrase self-esteem, which is defined by Webster's Dictionary as pride in oneself; self-respect, became well known as a catch-all term to characterize the core issues with parenting. The old ways of parenting were deemed barbaric and detrimental to our children's developing sense of self-worth. Many parents, terrified of producing unhappy, maladjusted kids, followed advice that produced a generation of kids with such high self-esteem that it overshadowed personal accountability and fostered a me-first mentality.

However, many of us are trained to believe that having high expectations of oneself is a vanity, selfish, and unattractive quality. It seems contradictory at best when we are given advice that tells us to prioritize ourselves and feel better about ourselves. I mean, the first step to Ego Central isn't it self-love? Many individuals desire to feel good about themselves, yet shame all too frequently rears its ugly head and prevents the growth of positive, healthy self-esteem.

These opposing frames of view make self-esteem a difficult little emotion to control. Finding a balance between modesty and avarice is crucial. Convincing yourself that you are a worthy and deserving person while still remembering that you are not the center of the universe is a skill that takes practice. Even while it seems unachievable, it is quite easy to do.

Where do you stand on the self-worth scale? You can assess your feelings and pinpoint areas that want improvement by taking the quiz below.

The dipstick of self-esteem

Select the response that most accurately describes how you would respond to each of the following scenarios to determine your level of self-esteem:

1. You are aware of your skill in database creation. Your supervisor has asked you and a few other employees to volunteer to help organize a new customer information database and to produce the company newsletter—a task you are completely clueless about. You

A. Offer your assistance with both; you're so smart that you'll figure it out, even if it means making the company seem bad the first few times you produce a bad newsletter.

B. Offer to help with the database. When Fred Jones offers to help, mention to him politely that you have more experience but that you'd be happy to pass along what you learn as you go.

C. Keep quiet. You are undoubtedly not as good at it as someone else is, and the manager would never choose you anyhow.

2. During a restaurant, you just passed gas loudly while out with pals, so you:

A. Accuse someone else at your table or a passing waiter right away. It is impossible for anyone to find fault with you because you are being totally sincere in your charges. You'll give it to them if they give it any thought.

B. Make a
