I want to start my career, but my mind is full of negative thoughts
September 26, 2009
From Latisa:
Hi, I have been so long putting off starting my career and my own business for like ten years. Now, through all the depression, lupus, anxiety, congestive heart failure, I want to achieve my goals. But sometime it’s hard because my mind tell me negative thought and running all day. What should I do?
Inspirations from Binah:
Negative thoughts is a problem shared by many. Whether through conditioning, disease or just the way we were born, it is something we grapple with every day. For some, correcting it is a simple process of training yourself to think in positives. For others, it is about recognizing that this is the way your mind works and creating positive words and actions to counteract your negative thoughts.
Instead of focusing your energy on your thoughts themselves, put your energy into the output of your thoughts. When you think of something negative, immediately think of the positive you want to act on and either say that out loud or write it down. For example, say you want to take a class to learn how to start your own business. You mind may immediately say, “Why do that? You’re never going to have the money to start your own business so its not worth it.” Listen to this thought, realize that it is just negative and contrary with no foundation, then create a goal to take the course by writing it down in your manifestation plan or announcing your intention to those around you. Understand that the negative thought is empty and that the real energy is in the positive action you are going to complete.
Over time, you will find that the negative voice becomes weak. Though it may always be with you, it will no longer hold you back from acting in the positive. Affirmations are also a great way to reinforce the positive action. Use them daily to replace the negative thoughts with a list of all your positive action items.
With a bit of creative thinking, and trust in your inner power, you will be able to use your negative thoughts to your advantage. Do not try to fight it, just accept that they will come and transmute them into something you can work with. Your words and actions can override even the most stubborn, negative thought. Choose your words carefully and you will find your true power for manifestation.
