Developing Positive Beliefs

Developing Positive Beliefs
There really isn’t a downside to believing in yourself and believing the best about others. You may not achieve your original goal and might get burned, but you’ll be better off than if you’d assumed the worst from the start. Believing you will succeed will also make you happier. Although it may be partly delusion, the same is true of the failure belief. You have to believe in something, why not believe that your hard work is contributing to something positive? Why not believe that your biggest dreams are possible?
When you lose confidence and dwell on failure, you come up with even more facts to add to the failure list, strengthening the failure belief. When you choose to believe in success, positive facts emerge. The belief you choose to accept will become stronger over time through this pattern of self reinforcement.
Consciously remind yourself of the positive and allow the negative to roll off your back.

Love yourself

Do you love yourself? Take a few moments and ponder this question carefully and soulfully. Are you guilty of giving up your own time for the sake of friends and family? Or perhaps more importantly, are you guilty of giving up the pursuit of your dreams for the sake of others? Millions of people are caught-up in this vicious cycle. The good news is that you can change, reverse this pattern, and move from a vicious cycle to a loving circle.
It all starts with you. You are the centre of your ‘circle of love’. The primary focus is how you live your daily life: Is it developing your capacity to love yourself so that you may better love those around you? It all depends on you. Increase the love you give yourself on a daily basis. Be kind and love yourself. Start doing things for yourself. Loving yourself can create love in your life, this is how:
Support yourself and start loving your negatives:Find ways to support yourself. Reach out to friends and family, allow them to help you. Release the old negative patterns. Asking for help when you need it is a strength.
Take care of your body:Learn about nutrition. What kind of fuel does your body need to have optimum energy and vitality? Learn about exercise. What kind of exercise can you enjoy? Cherish and respect the temple that is your body.
Mirror work:Look into your own eyes often. Express this growing sense of love you have for yourself. Forgive yourself while looking into the mirror and then also talk to those who have hurt you. Forgive them, too. At least once a day, say to yourself: “I love you, I really love you”.
Make more money:Think about your strengths. What are your talents? If your talents lie in the kitchen, you can make some delicious dishes or sandwiches with interesting fillings. Give those around you a preview - if they like it, they can order from you.
Loving yourself starts now. Don’t wait until you get well, lose the weight, get the new job, or find a new relationship. Your life today is not a dress rehearsal for another life you will have later. Live it with love now.
