Why Think Positively?

This is a big problem. If you have negative expectation on something, you won’t take action aggressively or even care about it. You won’t face the problem and have solutions to solve the problems. This cycle will get you get deeper in trouble and your thinking becomes more negative. It just a cycle that will ruin your life.

You can pay attention on those successful people. They never think negative on themselves even they are in big trouble. They never doubt about their ability. Instead, they think positive and keep trying. This is why they are success. This has also proven to us that positive thinking really help us to solve problem and become successful.

With positive thinking, we can generate motivation and faith to move forward while negative thinking just holding us from taking action. Therefore, the more negative thinking you have, the harder to can get out from the problems.

How to think positively?

I know and also understand that many people’s finance is being affected because of this recession. Many people lost their jobs and their income. Their life is on hot water. Many people lost their assets because of the crashing of stock market. Many people is worry because of the falling in house pricing or even foreclosure. Many people’s retirement plans also are affected too. For them, it seems like it is really hard to think positively.

But we have no choice but have to change our thinking. Positive thinking is the first step to turn the circumstance around. It really doesn’t matter whether you believe the law of attraction or not, life is always easier and better if you can think positively. In fact, postive thinking can let your mind and subconscious figure out the best solution to solve your current money crisis.

Before this I read a book call “Awaken the Giant Within” from Anthony Robbins, one of the greatest motivation guru in the world. I’m a great fans of him because he is a master who is teaching you how to control and motivate yourself to success. Self-control, self-motivation and take action are the key to success.

Inside the book, he is teaching some questions that we should ask ourselves to change our emotion each time we encounter problems. Those questions are really helpful. Now we can use it to make us think positively here:

1. What is great about this problems? - Something that you must learn
2. What is not perfect yet? - Something that you must pay attention on
3. What I should do to make it the way I want it to be? - something that you must take action
4. What I no longer do in order to prevent the problems? - something that you must avoid or change
5. How I can enjoy the process while I do what it necessary to get what I want it to be? - something that can motivate you take action easily and continuously.

Once you keep asking this question again and again, your focus will be moved and then your state of emotion will be changed too. Eventually you can find the solution and solve the problem instantly because those questions above are asking your subconscious to provide solution instead of negative reasons.

If you think properly, we usually think in certain way. For most people, the first thing they think every time they encounter a problem is the reason why this happen on them. This will lead them to become frustrated and blame for something. This thinking never end because your mind keep focusing and thinking about the problem and not the solution. This won’t help you but let you suffer more.

But if you ask the different question, you can almost change your state of emotion instantly. If you ask, “What is so great about the problems?”, you actually moving your focus to think positive things about the problems. This will greatly change your emotion so that you can move on and figure out the best solution.

You can pay attention on people around you or those media that are reporting the latest news about our market status. You will find that they are just full of negative news, emotion, thinking and worries. All this won’t help you to pass the tough time. It just let you to get drawn deeper and deeper. Yes, we need to read those news and information so that we are updated and follow the market, but at the same time we must hold a positive mind and emotion to handle the problems.

You need positive thinking to think solution and let your life continue the way you want it to be and not negative thinking that make you suffer more and more.

So first step - think positively and ask the question - What is great about recession?

What is great about Recession?

Let me share some of the answers that I have in my mind:

1. Recession is just a normal cycle. Recession is a part of the economy cycle and it happens from time to time. It just a natural circumstances where we will face again and again from the past to the future. So we must prepare our personal finance for it so that what you are suffering today won’t happen in future. Learn the lesson and get ready for the next recession.

2. Recession is good time for us to start over. Everything is down in this seasons. Sales is low for businesses, layoff is happening in many companies, salaries is on hold or income is in trouble. Everything seems to go back to starting point. So this is a great time for you to do something and start the next part of your life. Maybe you want to start a business in this recession period, maybe you want to change your occupation and etc.

3. Recession is a wealth exchange period. Since the first day I learned about financial freedom and getting rich, I was told that recession is a great time for wealth exchange. That means, those unprepared will be getting poorer while their wealth will be transferred to those who are well prepared. For example, currently, most of the companies stock price is getting lower and the housing price is dropping too. Those who are not prepared will lose money. But for those who are well prepared, that can get a lot of good deals for your investment portfolio in this season. Besides that, foreclosure is getting higher and even more deals are available for you to build your wealth. But of course, you must have extra money to do all this because risks are still there.

4. Nothing is secure! All the time, my friend will argue with me that job is good because of its security. It is very dangerous to start a business just like me. But if you look properly, if anything happen to the market like recession, nothing is secure. Currently job security is just being cracked and unemployment rate is getting higher. Real estate market that we usually claim that never fall down just showing the negative figure in front of us. Bank which is a good business system to make money crashed and caused all this problem to the financial market.

5. Learning how to manage risks is a must. Since nothing is secure, we cannot avoid the risks but learn how to control it within our means. You can get a job but you cannot count your life or future on it. It can crash in next recession. so you must do something to recession-proof your assets and wealth.

Problems Tell You Something That You Must Change

I believe that problems are not really a disaster. They are trying to tell us that something is not working and we must change something to get it things back on track.

If you are suffering from this recession, then you must think about your personal finance and the way you handle your money. You must change something and do something so that you won’t get into the trouble again in next recession as it happens again and again in future. If you think in this way, you will make your personal finance stronger and stronger. Eventually there are no crisis can let you down because your foundation is strong.

Start thinking positively today! and your life will be better.
