The #2 Most UseLESS Tip for Improving Self-Esteem

2.       Think Positively—Always expect the best and it’s likely to happen.  Keeping a positive attitude and deciding what to do next is most important.

#2 Most UseFUL Tip for Improving Self-Esteem:

Use Truth to Replace Negative Thoughts with Positive Ones

How many times has someone said to you, “just be positive” ?

I believe this is another useless tip for building self-esteem.  Why? Because thinking positively and optimistically, for someone who isn’t inclined or practiced in that thought pattern, is the outcome of hard self- work…not the work itself.  You don’t start there, you have to get there.

It is true that optimism is a key component of success.  But it’s not that easy as just thinking positively once and then poof, you’re thinking and believing in a positive outcome. Thinking positively and believing positively are two very different things.  It takes some time and work to imprint a new, positive thought in one’s subconscious.  It takes consciously thinking something positive over and over again until it becomes a TRUE belief.  

This isn’t always easy. Why? Because the new positive thought is trying to get traction up against a well-established negative thought pattern that is a whole lot stronger.  Remember, you’ve been carrying your existing thoughts and behaviors around with you for most of your life.  New thoughts and behaviors need to start with new beliefs.  You can start taking steps today, but real transformation takes time and practice. 

Once a new positive and healthy thought pattern takes root, it can grow to overshadow and erode the negative thoughts of the past.  When that happens, you will be glad you did the work. Earth will look like a new planet and you will feel like a new person.

 Thinking positively is only powerful when you believe positively too! And again, it always starts with the question, “What is true?”
