Let’s discuss how to maintain positive thoughts, why the mind operates as it does—and what you can do to stay in the flow of positive thinking and its positively charged energy. Slipping into negative thoughts that play out within the mind is easy to do. We recognize the need to stay in a positive realm of thinking. This will buoy up your vibration and allow more like-kind thoughts to flow to you. You will grow a momentum of positive thinking. In this way, you will move into a more positive mode. But this requires a bit of practice. Are you up to the challenge this might pose?
Positive Thoughts and Thinking
So what about maintaining positive thoughts and uplifting thinking? How might that be accomplished? As we focus on the topic of the mind, know it is not always what you think or the thoughts per se. Consider the enticing or berating manner in which the thoughts are sometimes introduced. They are there to engage you. These thoughts are put into play to grab and attract your attention. You see, the egoic mind seeks to tantalize you with the folly it has introduced.
If one statement or concept isn’t enticing enough, then another one a bit bolder is volleyed at you. An oppositional type of scenario might be given simultaneously to engage another adversarial type of mental jousting. Do you hear a constant chatter and an evolution of dynamics within the nonsense that is discussed? Do not lay judgment on yourself or on the words expressed through the mind. Yet be sure to notice what is being said. Notice and then shift into a more preferred line of thinking. Do so without judgment, dissension, or feeling. Be impersonal and unimpassioned as you become the observer of the thoughts.
See these thoughts floating through your mind without attachment or judgment. Give them no weight or lofty measure. It is the ego-mind running amuck. Remain consciously aware as you curtail your engagement there. So be vigilant throughout the day and stay aware of what is going on upstairs. Far too many people do not monitor this activity and allow the mind to run wild and free. That is not advisable. These things are what they are, and now these thoughts are to be no more when you engage in more constructive ones to replace the others. Ones that make you feel better. Will you do this?
Meditation
In moments when you clear your mind, you allow for a reset or recalibration of your body and mind. This is the true measure and value of meditation. It is when you shut off what endlessly flows into your mind that you allow all of your bodily functions to take a breath of fresh air in a much-needed reset. At the onset of meditation, take some deep breaths to engage more readily. Deep breaths can assist in a reset as you restore all through an inner peace that will reconnect you to your Source.
Take in deep breaths to a count of five on the inhale, and release your breath to a count of five on the exhale. Hold the final breath for ten seconds before you slowly release it. This breathing exercise will help your body to connect and allow for a reset to occur. Here you are able to clear out lingering precepts.
A reset occurs too when you enable silence to prevail from the incessant mental chatter as you introduce this loving component into the mix. Meditation can become your new elixir of choice. It will bring unbridled energy and focus to even the most trying situations. New ideas will spring into your mind when you engage this option. It is truly a key to not only reset and recalibrate you but also to allow for new insights to be realized. Tap into this valuable gift the sages of old utilized. Clear out the clutter and open the mind to expansive thoughts that will renew and broaden your vantage.
Continually monitor what chatter occurs there. As you move your thoughts back to center, shift into more positive or better ones. The blessing of doing such work is that your day will be happier and more advantageous. Your energy will not bounce around but become more balanced. Recognize when the mind seeks to engage you in negative chatter, it restricts Universal flow. Minimize this by keeping all in check. This does take some practice, so work with this today, but remember to keep negative thought patterns at bay by immediately moving into happier thoughts and their corresponding deeds.
