Positive thinking is actually a choice we make as very young children usually that represents how we see life. Anxious people often have too many negative thoughts going on around their day. By taking on a new concept and applying positive thinking you too can reduce your anxiety.The great news is that any choice can be changed even if it is an ingrained habit.

The benefits of positive thinking include attracting more positive experiences, enhances self respect and love and greater mental and physical health. For example, if you say negative things in your self chatter (mind) to put yourself down, blame yourself, and generally give yourself a hard time, our cells react with illness and disease.

Positive thinking and self love nurture the cells of the body and create health and a feeling of joy and wellness.

I am surely not an advocate for forcing my ideas onto people but, if positive thinking may help your anxiety, would you be willing to give it a go?

Just for fun try these quick anxiety strategies?

• Each time you hear something negative in your mind, stop and say “I no longer choose that old limited thinking – I choose to think…) and follow with a positive expression or thought

• Start a thought book and each day start a new page and right a positive thought as though it has happened already such as “I am living a more positive life and choosing good thoughts about myself”

• Read a little each day about positive thinking.

With practice over time you will begin to feel more joy in your life as a result of choosing positive thinking over negative thoughts.
