If you are, or have been, diagnosed with cancer, chances are you will become scared, overwhelmed and perhaps angry. And those are all valid feelings to experience. No one would deny you those feelings either…but what good would it do for your psyche if you continued on a downward spiral of negative thinking? A few years back, my mom was diagnosed with cancer…and at first, she was understandably scared, shocked and confused. This type of thinking got her down and created a “desperate” feeling that she had to do anything to get rid of her cancer. That anything included trying an “experimental” drug that her doctor recommended. The problem with this scenario is that the medicine made her feel worse than the cancer did! It also made her so sick, that in the fall of 2008, she was hospitalized for about a month. Fortunately, she is not taking the medication now, and feels healthier than ever. While she still has the cancer, she doesn’t feel it. The shift, of course, happened when she realized that she had cancer, but the cancer didn’t have her.
Positive thinking seems so simple to many, but can be quite difficult to implement in reality. And no one seems to really understand the connection between body and mind, and how one can use this power to achieve health and well-being. There are many stories of people who were in terrible accidents and doctors did not expect them to live. But, through the miraculous power of the mind, they not only lived, but fully recovered! It is this level of positive thinking that will allow you, not only health and well-being, but wealth, wisdom and happiness.
This is not to say that all you have to do is think positive and all good things will come to you. No…you must put action behind your positive thoughts. When opportunities arise, you will be pulled powerfully into action. This means that if you are consistently creating positive thoughts, and then something comes up that correlates with your positive thoughts, taking action will be an automatic response. For example, if you are sure beyond a shadow of a doubt that you will land the job of your dreams, and a call comes to offer you that job, you will jump at the chance, right?
Thinking positive is way more powerful than you may realize…why not give it a go now?
