Positive Mindset... put away negativity

[Jessica]

@Tessa James @Alaskan Danielle

You, dear sister, are part of the positive mindset we create and share as we gather together.  Your welcome and invitation are perpetually renewed while space ...is the final frontier.  Deck chairs and sleep sites are rearranged as needed and usually sufficient.  Cozy inside, plenty of outdoor spaces and even a vintage camper van to claim...   Love to have your company!

Thank you so much Tessa for your offered hospitality.  Your home is so warm and comfortable to be in.  Certainly, you have something to do with it. 
I've asked a dear friend if she would like to join us. 
She is from up north and I hope she shows.  🌟

I'm so glad you were able to restore this one. I think all of us need it from time to time.

Some of my thoughts regarding this topic of having a Negative outlook on life is
that it can generally produce Negative outcomes, while the opposite is likewise true,
.....Positive thoughts and actions can generally produce Positive results.

If a person believes that they are going to fail at something, they will probably find
a way to do just that!!!!

While there are certainly exceptions, I would personally prefer to be around positive
thinking people and avoid the depressing "downers" and negative thinkers.

HUGS, Danielle

Turning negative thinking into an Optimistic Positive Mindset
               
I've never done it before.                        >It's an opportunity to learn something new.

It's too complicated.                                  >I'll tackle it from a different angle.

I don't have the resources.                      >Necessity is the mother of invention.

I'm too lazy to get this done.                    >I wasn't able to fit it into my schedule, but I can re-examine some priorities.

There's no way it will work.                      >I can try to make it work.

It's too radical a change.                          >Let's take a chance.

No one bothers to communicate with me. >I'll see if I can open the channels of communication.

I don't have many friends                        >Be friendly, be the first to say hello and introduce yourself

I'm not going to get any better at this      >I'll give it another try.

I would add:


I can't do this.     >>>             How can I get this done?

The negative mindset is defeatist. It implies that something cannot happen, and therefore, there is no reason to try. It is giving up before considering the possibilities of success.

The positive mindset starts with an expectation of success and explores those possibilities.

If you want something bad enough, you will find a way. In the service, I told my tank crews that we do not have problems, only interesting situations. No regrets, no excuses, make it happen.

Dear Lori:
You are exactly correct with what you stated in your reply comment...
          .... "If you want something bad enough, you will find a way."
