      @@oblivious108 Practice. Take yourself away to somewhere calm and still your mind. Think hard. Write down 3 positive things. They could be aspirational things if you cannot think of current things. Make these your goal. The act of writing them down will cement them in your mind. Now practice catching a negative thought and conjuring the positive ideas over the top. Visualise the paper (or even look at it to start with). Carry that bit of paper with you. Make it part of you.
      You will start to change. Then move on to some more positive thoughts.
      You can also work on debunking negative thoughts. Ask if a negative thought is serving you well. If not then realise you have the power not to listen to it. You can choose another thought. Give yourself this power and you will see if works.

    Thinking positive changes the neural pathways in our brains. When something bad happens, it only happens in an instant, after that we just repeat the story over and over in our heads, it's the story we tell ourselves that will positively or negatively effect our lives. don't keep rewinding and replaying the event, change the video. The more you practice, the easier it gets. The brain has plasticity, you can change it, but the longer you have maintained negative thought patterns, the more practice required. Scientific research shows this to be true, so don't give up!

    Brendon helped me realize something important. I've been allowing my negative thoughts to roam my mind for so long that positive thinking seems unnatural. For so long I've been expecting the worst to happen that when I now think of the best outcomes it feels totally foreign now. It feels like I am being too optimistic and unrealistic. I am actually now getting use to the fact that my mind should be dominated with positive thought and that having those positive thoughts and visualizing positive outcomes is very much okay. *It's okay because I am worthy of having good things happen to me and you are too.*

    @teresamarieinbarrera6267 Před 3 lety +41

    He is right about learning to discipline your mind and learning to focus. I think his method is still a little complicated, though. I just started really focusing on the present moment, really doing one thing at a time, no multitasking. This kept me from ruminating about regrets or worrying about the future. Trying to forcibly think positive thoughts never did help, neither did analyzing the thoughts that were drifting through my mind. As soon as l notice I'm not focused on the present, l reel in my mind and concentrate on what is happening right now. If l'm washing dishes, l focus on the warm slippery feel of the dishwater, the hot water flowing over my hands as l rinse them. Maybe l focus on the irridescence of the soap bubbles. If l'm watching tv, l try to get into the storyline, or the dancers, or the sports. I tried many techniques throughout my 70 years, but this staying in the present moment and really directing my thoughts instead of letting them carry me down negative rabbit trails, is what has helped me most and in the shortest amount of time.
    The guy in this video is high energy and didn't appeal to me when l was so depressed l could barely get myself out of bed. But even in the most depressed state you can learn to focus on the present moment, even if it's only thinking about how soft the sheets are, or how comfy the pillow is, or how the light is filtering through the window. Just focus on the current sensations of your body or planning simple beneficial actions for yourself or others.
    Eckart Tolle's books and videos have also been helpful.

One thing (even if not the ideal thing) leads to the next.

    I really appreciate that the message is not "negative thoughts are bad", but rather FOCUSING on negative thoughts is bad. For the longest time I felt like "positive thinking" meant not thinking negatively - when I accepted that it is perfectly fine to have negative thoughts, just not to dwell on them, they suddenly lost so much of their power and it was so much easier to focus on positive thoughts and as the saying goes, what we focus on grows.

It's been a while since then and I'm still recovering.

    First: 5 questions that are positive to ask yourself (answer them) 3 times a day over 30 days:
    1-What can i be grateful for right now?
    2-How can i show love right now?
    3-What can i learn right now?
    4-How can i have fun right now?
    5-Whats one thing I'm good at?/what's one thing I like about myself?
    Second: come up with three words to describe ideal self And focus on them as well
    Ex: Positive, Badass, Adorable.
    (I'm a positive badass and adorable) this is who I am
    Third: Take action
    you can't just label yourself a badass and call it a day, don't fake it till you make it, practice it till you make it!
    Ex: Workout, Cold showers, Be confident,
    Take action till your mind is automatically conditioned to understand That's just what we do, Badass by name Badass by nature!
    You always react to bad situations like this
    Ps you can actually condition your mind without knowing any thought other than simply behaving in a positive manner!
    Good positive thinking + Good positive action = The charged life
    Have a great day!

I've been here before and it's not where I want to be. I'm going to try the five questions method for a couple of weeks along with exercise to see if it helps. I'll report back in a few weeks. For now, these are my five questions. They may change in the future.
    1. Is there still light burning within you?
    2. Do you still desire experiences with people, places or things?
    3. Do you have a good and empathic heart?
    4. Do you have a friend or family who loves or cares for your well being?

There are times where I feel extremely happy and I feel like me again. And then there's times where the thoughts in my head constantly make it seem like a cycle I can't break out of. But the times where I'm happy is when I think positively, I don't worry and I just do things. And so I tried to focus on other things, keep myself busy.

Which is really unfair to myself and to those around me.. I'm to the point where I think there is something mentally wrong with me... Like a disease.. I'm so bipolar and I like to obsess over the very thought that kills me.. But I've been working on myself a lot lately. This video helped me see things a little more clearly, and how much clearer I should see things. 😊 thank you!

      ***** yes, I'm doing a lot better now!! Self-acceptance to your self existence was the best thing I have ever discovered in my life. And it helped me grow into a young adult, and helped me learn that I'm just as human as anyone else, and I'll always be human. Everything I was ever scared of seems to have been removed from my brain. I'm no longer afraid of what I used to be afraid of, and I can live each day very happily. 😊 I've overcome so much, and I'm proud to say so! And thanks to the others who commented!

I haven’t found any career that I would be interested in doing for 8-10 hours. This video has been such a game changer for me and I have found what jobs I would be interested in. Hope everyone has such a great day.

    I were hospitalised a few weeks ago because of hyperventilation. My mind got foggy, my breaths were quick and shallow, my hands and feet became numb. Doctors said that it was because I got too much stresses and I needed to relax.
    I then found out about ur videos, just like u said,I were stuck with negative thoughts. It imprinted in my mind, weakened my mental health to the point that I struggled to sleep just because of some small noises rats made on the street. I always imagined if there was a burglar breaking into my house...freaking irrational fears kept circling in my head...
    After seeing ur video, I have been trying to replace my negative thoughts with positive ones, meditating, asking myself those questions that reminds me to brighten my mood. It really works, something so simple, yet, it really helps me become stronger everyday. thank u so much!

    As I read the comments I see so many who are trying to get back to an “old”version of you and I just want to remind all you beautiful souls out there to not beat yourself up on what or who you used to be yesterday or even 10 years ago.
    I used to do the same in fact I obsessed over it and it made me miserable. I came to realize even though I was so happy and positive then I am a different person now and I am so incredibly blessed to realize this. I let those thoughts go and I am so thankful now because now I can stop obsessing on what was and start to work on a positive self talk for what’s to come. 💯
    Today is a blessing that we woke up to this beautiful thing we call life and know today is thee perfect day for a new and improved you. Start there, Be easy on yourselves ♥️

    The only way I know how to interrupt rumination, is when you see you're in it:
    1. Understand that you've been through something difficult and your brain is trying to protect you but it's not doing a good job, it's looping. Show empathy and understanding towards yourself.
    2. Start sending your attention towards your senses and body in your here and now. Telling your brain :" processing information in the here in now is what's bests to protect me".
    3. And then start imagining a beautiful scene. Take that experience and imagine how it would guide you in the future, for example passing on your experience to someone else . Or just imagine something beautiful you can create in the future.
    4. And then repeat the same thing everytime you have these negative thoughts.

  • @Ceej954

    He’s definitely on the right track. I used to suffer from depression and last year I almost gave in and ended it all. No amount of positive thinking could save me at that point because I was dealing with years worth of depression. What saved me and completely turned my life around? Jesus and Jesus alone. I had to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ and I meditated (forced myself to think upon) on His Word and what God’s Word says as far as who I really am. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.”

  • @PrecedingPie
    @PrecedingPie Před 7 lety +4

    This guy seems genuinely positive. I was worried I would get a fake vibe, like he was faking being positive to feel positive, but that doesn't seem to be the case. He mentions that he's not positive all of the time, but he is able to catch himself when he is being negative and redirect the negative mindset because he has trained himself to do so. These are very practical guidelines on how to retrain yourself to focus on positive outcomes instead of the negative ones. Thank you for this.
