The Power of Positive thinking

Some people incorrectly hype the power of positive thinking making it appear as if it’s some kind of magic, and although positive thinking can dramatically change your life still it’s based on pure logical reasons and reasonable facts. This article points out the power of positive thinking by logically explaining how it can affect your life.

Positive thinking & Fulfilling the prophecy

If you believed that you are going to perform well in your next job interview you are very likely to keep visualizing this performance many times before you go to the real interview. Your subconscious mind will consider this visualization some kind of order to perform well in the interview (see behaviour and visualization) and the end result will be performing well. It all started with positive thinking which led to visualization that stimulated your subconscious mind to fulfil the prophecy.

Positive thinking & your Subconscious mind

When you have a belief your subconscious mind tends to collect all the evidence that can further solidify this belief even if the evidence wasn’t crystal clear. For example, if someone thinks that he is ugly then someone stared at him he will think that this happened because he is ugly and so the belief will become stronger.

This is another thing that makes positive thinking powerful, if you started to think that you are a confident person you will tend to interpret the response you get from people as signs that shows that people think that you are confident. This in turn will give you more confidence and so the belief will become stronger. Contrary to common beliefs, people don’t collect evidence then believe in something but they first believe then they collect further evidence that supports their beliefs.

Positive thinking is not thae same as being overly optimistic but it’s the art of finding opportunities in every difficulty you face. The power of positive thinking mainly comes from the synergy that happens between the conscious and the subconscious mind when they both believe that he outcome will be positive.
