Positive Thinking - Yes Or No?

By furrystudd19 August 16, 2020 7 answers Last updated August 16, 2020

Dear readers of Share Net - the things of life, I want to ask you if you are optimistic about the future and does it help you? Does positive thinking help you in life situations, or is what he writes in books like Rhonda Byrne's The Secret not grandma's divinity? Can everything be overcome with positive thinking and faith? And isn't everything in action. Because not only faith is needed, but also deeds? In other words - where do you get optimism from and how do you not get depressed when something unpleasant happens to you. How do you not get frustrated and how do you solve the problem? How do you stay afloat? Is it an old truth that every problem has a solution? But when we don't see it, what do we do? Thanks for the answers!

   I think positively and enjoy life. The difference is that negative thoughts drain your energy, and when you think positively, the bad goes away easily. However, happiness is mainly a psychological indicator. Yes, it definitely helps on a purely psychological level, and that's quite important.

   Positive thinking has a unique effect on everyone who tries. This is a great deal of self-suggestion, and the power of our psyche is enormous over life. Pessimism occurs when one understands too much about bad events, then in practice you think only negative things, because the object of thought is not positive. The conclusion is that being a positivist is a very pleasant feeling, you do not think too much about the problems, you smile at the little things and ignore any activities that burden you.

   Positive thinking definitely serves to support a huge number of people. Helps them deal more easily with commitments, problems, etc. I don't see anything wrong with it, but it shouldn't be given too much importance. Above all, action must be taken. If you are very positive and fail, I think this would exacerbate the negative consequences such as depression or low self-esteem, because you may warm up that you have invested energy in positive thinking, there was no result and you will be further disappointed. Personally, I think neither positively nor negatively, because for me this is an unnecessary investment of energy for nonsense. I do what I have to do and I try to do my best. When I succeed, I rejoice for a short time, when I fail, I move forward and I don't let negative emotions overwhelm me. If the failure is due to insufficient effort, it is even better because I know the reason and I have known it throughout this period of effort. That's what happened, I can't always be 100%. That's why I don't waste myself blaming myself, I learn from my mistake and keep going. Positive thinking was not discovered by the author in question, she simply picked up this easily meaningful topic for the masses, because it is beneficial for writing a book and you can make money from sales. Again, I don't find anything wrong, but I think it's completely unnecessary. Thoughts do not affect reality. I know it would be nice to be like that, but that's the way it is. Just coincidences and nothing else. Everyone has cases in which he thought positively and what a good thing happened. But we are so destined that we completely unconsciously ignore or forget the many other cases that did not develop in the way we wanted. This leaves the feeling that positive thinking really works more successfully than predicted by probability theory. The fortune tellers are on the same principle. For those who believe in their abilities, it is enough to know 2-3 things, regardless of whether they are common tales, referring to 99% of humanity and instantly forget the other 10 things she did not know, but then tell you that you see their skills. are real. Superstitions and rituals also exist because of this feature of human psychology. Ultimately, the choice is personal. I notice, however, that people just need pacifiers and look for them accordingly - positive thinking, energies, paranormal abilities, world conspiracies, creator in the sky and the like. It's hard for them to accept that things are just happening, so they need to charge someone or something with the function of a conductor, who can then praise or wash the towel. I agree that without these things the world looks quite gray, but that is the situation. Congratulations though that there is a skeptical note in your topic. :)

   The solution to every problem is in our subconscious, in every situation there are several ways to act, when we think positively, the right way comes to mind, so that we continue to be happy. when you have no money and you think "Oh, I won't be able to do it, there is no work in Bulgaria", your subconscious begins to prove to you and extract from each situation what is convenient for your statement. However, if you think "this is just a short period I will invent something" at some point you come up with a business idea or you see an acquaintance who knows about a vacancy.

   Yes, positive thinking helps a lot, it's not grandma's ninths what she writes in books, I say it from personal experience. For the movie "The Secret" - are not empty words, :) everything is true. Well, of course, in theory and in words everything is very easy, but really the law is true and works. Yes, you find it easier in life situations to think positively. There must be a synchronicity between thought, feeling, and action, and thought determines feeling and action: if you think badly about something, whatever you do, you will feel bad. If you make a conscious effort to think positively in a situation, in connection with something that bothers you, it changes the feeling, the inner attitude. The like attracts the like - it's true. First is the thought, then comes the feeling and the action.

   I am not optimistic about the future. How can I be optimistic after I die? : D Someone will say about the afterlife, but I do not see the meaning of such a life, not to mention the lack of evidence for such. Positive thinking is self-deception. I have suffered enough from life to prefer a sober analysis of things and to act according to it, to achieve the best results and thus a better life. It is not possible with faith and hope alone, although they are pointed out as the main factors for success in religions and books and movies, such as "The Secret". If they are successful, it is due to the retention of a thought, idea, desire, for a long time in the mind, which contributes to a fuller understanding, analysis, planning and use (even unconsciously) of any real opportunity "thing" to happened. For reasonable people it is the same, but without thinking about "secrets" and interference from above. They simply analyze, plan and act without wasting energy and time calling for trouble. The moment with the problems is unpleasant, but inevitable - nasty things happen in life. My only support in such moments is the thought that solving problems is the only way out that would satisfy me. I don't like living with problems, so I try to avoid them preventively or to act to overcome them. How does this work? With a plan. You sit down, think, write, analyze, rethink ... this chapter is not just for decoration at all. :) And when you still can't find a solution, ask someone more capable to help you. It's not a shame, because no matter how much we think we are capable, there is always one of us. I like the opinion of 3. I would be happy to read other things from it. but without thinking of "secrets" and interference from above. They simply analyze, plan and act without wasting energy and time calling for trouble.

   In my opinion, all optimists are STUPID.
