Mind, Body & Soul: Always think positive for a progressive life

Chennai

Your ability to express your talent irrespective of physical strength is decided by your state of mind. And the state of mind is primarily affected by one’s self esteem; how you feel about yourself and not how others feel about you.

It’s the bare truth, no one in this world has a single person who can speak and think only good about them all the time; or do only good for them all the time. Irrespective of being gifted with several loved ones; spouse, parents, siblings, children, friends etc. this holds true not because of their lack of intent but just the human nature. If one still thinks it’s possible to have someone who can think and speak well about them all the time, then they are dreaming a dream that will only remain a dream.

But realise, there is one person who is there for you all the time, to speak good about you, think good about you and do only good for you. That one great source is none other than your own self!! Your self esteem is your responsibility and an essential requirement for you to express your innate ability and talent. There are powerful and effective, yet simple psychological principles that one can follow to keep themselves in a positive frame of mind all the time. They are called PET (Positive Emotional Thoughts or Progressive and Elevating Thoughts) and NET (Negative Emotional Thoughts or Non-Essential Thoughts).

Below are two essential reasons to maintain PET psychology — your state of mind has a direct impact on your nervous and immune system or medically known as psychoneuroimmunology (PNI). Second, irrespective of the position you are in, PET will give you the ability to find opportunities and progress effortless.

Without Positive and Elevating Thoughts there can only be Negative or Non-Essential Thoughts. Getting into negative thoughts is like a fish caught in a net. In spite of its presence in water and its skill, it is incapable of swimming. Not maintaining a PET attitude has the same effect in life. In spite of wonderful opportunities one will have difficulty in expressing their natural ability.

The highest teaching of every holy scripture like the Vedas, Upanishad , Bible and Quran is that God cannot help one who does not take self-effort to help himself.

Taking a conscious effort to follow PET psychology will give you all the power to gift yourself a new life, a new beginning; free of stress, fear and failure and full of peace, health, success and happiness. Aham Brahmasmi!!
