I went to this workshop last week which involved a slide on Positive thought processes.. The theory being that if you think negatively it is most probable that something negative would happen and if you think positive then it i smost probable that something positive things will happen
A test given to us all was to choose a thought process in the mornings and when driving into the ork car park (which is normally always full) if you WILL yourself and are positive that you will find a space in the first minute then there is a higher chance of you finding one compared to if you thought you were doomed to drive around and around to find one..then it owld take longer
Since that week - I have always found a spot which I normally wouldn’t have.. no matter what time I came in
What do you all feel.. Has your +ve/-ve view ever affected your life..?
I totally disagree to this theory. Your thought process cannot influence anything physically. Yes! It might be true that with a positive mind, you can park your car in a smaller place then you can do with a negative mind.
positivity/negativity affects what you do and how you do it. you may or may not gain if you remain positive. but you can be sure you won't if you're negative.

Perhaps, the positive thinking can help you see the parking spot that you would have otherwise missed had you been so negative about finding it. I "positively" concur with the theory. :)
being in a positive mood also has benefits, less stress, living longer, house full of laughter and joy makes life more worthwhile.
being negative can reduce your effectiveness, also your self esteem, better to enjoy life then moan all life
Like your car parking example, when you see a parking lot full of cars, your mind will automatically assume that it will take you a while to find a space...
How will you stop that assumption and the ensuing negativity that will result from it?
Agree.. You find opportunity to find a positive result..
Another example- Partners..
If you think you will never find a good partner you won’t look, you will miss opportunities, you will find excuses to not progress further with a potential relationship and you won’t have a darn smile on your face.. therefore you answer your own theory and fail in finding someone right
If you think positive then one, you’ll be looking for that opportunity and when it arrives it will be the vision you had in mind and you will be happy to invest your time and energy further and hey presto all smiles..
Destiny is what ALLAH ji has power over, the route you take to your destiny be it positive or negative is in your own hands..
I wish i was a practioner of my own thoughts and values :halo:

Before you get to the car park - you put a smile on your face and say [EMAIL="I@M"]I'm going to get a space today .. assertively and out loud.. and hey presto... you've actioned your positive thought..
You do look like a fool sometimes but man it works.. and when it doesn't you think oh well.. next time !!
SO funny.. Today I was 1/2 an hour late into work and there's a space waiting for like there is an invisible shield around it..
lol only joking - A logical reason could be because kids are on SUmmer hols and parents have taken days off work so more spaces available ...
but it's the point that what you said would happen actually happens that sticks in your mind..

Actually, exactly my point. Being positive cannot change reality though it will help you get through.

Would love to hear your views

Thoughts have a lot of effect on our eventual results. Positive thoughts can bring about positive results and vice versa for negative thoughts.
You see the “placebo effects”...if you believe the pill will work on you (even if it contains nothing of substance) then chances are high that you will start getting better. Even symptoms of terminal illnesses have been reduced/relieved through positive approaches.
I read something so beautiful...something like...When you really truly want something in life, the whole universe conspires to ensure you get it.
Our minds are so powerful...if only we could channel them to work for us.
Ever felt the vibes of a room when you walk in, but have not heard the conversation preceding your entrance? If there was an argument, you will feel the anger, and you will not know why.
Spread positive thoughts and they may return to you!

That's so nice..
I've decided to be more positive as noticed that negativity only brings unhappiness... Our religion demonstrates the dame thing.. Be ever grateful for what ALLAH ji has given.. and remain positive..
Your thoughts are blue prints of what you experience in life, so thinking positive has tremendous effect on how you feel..see and react to things..while negative thoughts have reverse effect on how one thinks and responds. Negative thoughts take away more energy..and one gets extremely depressed..and blue.
There are a lot of books written about how one can change their destiny with positive thoughts...hence it doesn,t work for all situations!!
Being positive cannot change the present but can change whatever actions you take which will change future reality.
