Transform Your Life with Your Positive Thoughts

Like a well-kept garden, our mind needs daily weeding to retain the thoughts that will bear positive actions. Preparing the mind with the right environment simply increases the chance of coming up with positive thoughts. Every action begins with a thought and therefore the thoughts occurring to your mind should be examined carefully for the scope of possible fruitful action.

The onslaught of information in the modern world makes the mind vulnerable to accepting outside influences easily and this overwhelms the positive qualities that lie within. Find some time daily to focus on the ideas coming to you and identify how many of them can be turned into positive action. Your life can change for the better with the proportion of positive thoughts going up and the negative ones decreasing gradually. It takes disciplined effort to nurture and develop positive thoughts and stack habits based on them. By being consistent and mindful one can achieve success.

Identify thoughts worthy of action:

From time to time your thoughts may seem to be unrealistic or mere dreams. You have to sort out the ones on which immediate actions can be taken from those that are non-actionable. This way you save time from delving into unrealistic expectations and chances of failure.

Diverting the mind makes you less responsive to discipline that is necessary for long-term benefit. Mental discipline is foremost required to channel your mind's power in the proper direction and turn your thoughts into actions.

Note down your thoughts:

Often the positive thoughts come to us in all kinds of odd hours and if you are not serious enough to note down the details you may lose them over time. Our mind has limited retention capacity and a passing thought not given enough attention is bound to be lost forever. That’s why having a journal of your positive thoughts can be worthwhile. Positive thoughts are our best treasures and you should be careful about preserving and nurturing them.

Judge the benefits of your action:

To take a positive action based on your thoughts you need to develop an active mentality. You have to fully understand the gravity of that thought and the impact it can bring to action.

Set your priorities regarding what you prefer and focus on yourself with the right motivation.

Be clear about the requirements and make a promise to deliver. Each positive thought would require some changes in your lifestyle and some new things to be implemented. You have to take the difficulty of accepting those changes in life and adjusting your actions from time to time.

Make sure that you will be better off in future because of your actions. Your thoughts would inspire you to implement action only when you are sure that you will be socially and economically better off because of those actions.

Be Time-Specific:

Chalk out a timeframe for getting positive results. The successful persons begin with the end in mind. The idea of a timeframe for implementing an action should be foremost in the mind of the person. Keeping that deadline always before yourself you can proceed towards your achievement.

A trick to make the mind accustomed to action is thinking in real-time as if you are carrying out the tasks. This simulation practice normalizes your mind with the intricacies of real work and makes it easy to perform those tasks.

Give the most productive part of the day to the most important thought occurring to you. There is a peak performance period for every individual. During that time the mind runs effortlessly and the creativity flows from within. This time should be capitalized with concrete actions. The actions taken in this period would naturally be more effective and smart.

Visualize your action:

Visualization is the most important tool when transforming a thought into an action. As human beings, we inherently respond to visual impetus. An image playing in our minds for a sustained period translates into reality quite often. It has been seen among top athletes, creative people and successful people that the power of visualization has brought favourable long-term results that have changed their lives. Visualization should be done regularly, consistently and at specific times when the subconscious mind is receptive.

 

Avoid Procrastination:

Often our thoughts lead to procrastination. We are so bound up in dreaming or planning that the actual work gets postponed for the future. This is a harmful tendency and it causes much of the waste of time. Do not be tied up in the cycle of thinking and lose track of the action. Action is foremost important and thoughts are only important as much as can be turned into positive actions. Consider positive actions as the signals of improvement in your life and give foremost priority to the accomplishment of positive actions.

Build on the habits leading to your goal:

Our habits dictate the successful implementation of our thoughts and the habits are to be built up on a long-term basis. However, habits cannot be built in a day or two. It takes a long time and persistence to develop a habit. For that, you have to use the method called stacking of habits. Each day you have to push yourself a little bit to add to your existing habit. When over several days or weeks you follow the stacked habits you are set for the journey towards your goal.

Be sure when you have implemented a positive thought:

Just like implementing your positive thoughts into action you have to be sure about when you have successfully implemented a positive thought. To make your subconscious mind register the success you should celebrate your achievement by making something special out of it. This kind of small acknowledgement helps your mind to store the experience as favourable and helps you get motivated the next time you set out to achieve another goal.

To live your best life you have to make sure your positive thoughts are taken care of. You are responsible for transforming positive thoughts into implementable actions and reaping the benefits. The more efficiently you can do this the more your life will change for the better and you will achieve success.
