To respect your decisions is a simple, powerful yet very under used quality of a person. It is a very rare person who fully respects all his or her decisions. In fact the majority of people make decisions 'on the fly' without really considering whether those decisions are really needed, whether they are correct or even if they are possible to accomplish. Imagine for a moment how you would feel and how you would live if you were able to respect your decisions. How focused would your mind be if … [Read more...]
What If…
Firstly an appology for being absent from this blog for some time. I'll be adding some high quality content from here on in though, so please keep checking in here regularly and comment if you feel inspired to. I participated in a positive thinking type 'game' recently. All we needed to do was to think ' what if' I had a certain quality or strength that I feel is lacking in me at present. What would it feel like? So, I selected 'to be more organised' as I know that is one of my … [Read more...]

Keeping the Mind Focused
Because the mind works so fast it also has a tendency to disappear into unwanted areas. You can call this wasteful, negative and useless thinking. By allowing your mind to get lost into any of these three will result in a great loss of time, energy and enthusiasm. Just as if you were driving a very powerful and responsive sports car, you would have to be very alert and attentive about what you did with the controls or you might end up in the ditch, so too the mind needs to be shown the same … [Read more...]
Positive Thinking and the power of your mind
Before you start any activity, project or work, decide what you want to achieve and by when. The reason is that the power of your mind works most effectively when you give congruent, focused and clear information to it. If there is any vagueness or uncertainty in your thoughts or ideas the mind will not be in a position to cooperate completely with you. The power of your mind will be chocked, unable to work effectively. … [Read more...]
Contemplation and Positive Thinking
As the mind is your thinking machine, like any machine it needs rest time. By this I don’t mean sleep but quiet contemplation.

This in turn may well yield some interesting insights as to why you do what you do and in the way that you do it and also why you entertain certain desires and wishes. The … [Read more...]
Positive Thinking and Visualisation
Visualisation is getting a lot of press lately, especially due to 'The Secret', the dvd and book that has been circulating the globe. But, visualisation has been used for eons. It is an effective method for bringing into your present experience what would normally be in the future. People use visualisation to get the things they want, the life style they want, but you can also use it to be what you want. Personally I believe that life stems from being so that is the most productive focus … [Read more...]
