Be In Control of Your Life with PMA
In order to be healthy body, mind and spirit we need to eat nutritious food, exercise daily and have a positive mental attitude (PMA). Your mental attitude is the way you view and interpret events in your life which can shape your future and outcomes accordingly. Having PMA and using affirmations can attract wonderful positive circumstances and events into your life and the same is true when you have
negative mental attitude (NMA) you can attract negative circumstances into your life.
An example of a having a negative mental attitude (NMA) can be “I am fat” or “I hate my body”. These negative thoughts can simply be changed by replacing the negative thought with a positive thought so “I am fat” can be reversed to “I am fit” or “I love my body”.Another example of NMA is “I never get what I want” which can be changed to “I am thankful for the everyday opportunities that present themselves to me”
We all have difficult days and have gone through hard times, but we must look beyond this and understand that some events are out of our control, but the attitude we have towards these circumstance is in our control and we have a choice to respond either positively (PMA) or negatively (NMA). By having a negative response we attract more negativity in our lives and we may be holding ourselves back from what we really want out of life.
Use Positive Mental Attitude to your advantage today by paying attention to your thought patterns. Begin changing your mental attitude by addressing the type of mental attitude you have. Is it negative (NMA) or positive (PMA)? When you catch yourself having negative thought to any situation you can simply reverse the thought by replacing the NMA with PMA. This is a great exercise to begin changing the way you view and interpret life’s events. Having a PMA may take some effort and retraining of your thoughts but once this becomes a habit you will dramatically change the way you think and increase positivity and abundance in your life.
I believe that part of a healthy daily regime you need healthy food, daily exercise and a positive mind set. The way you think, and interpret events in your life can shape your future and outcomes. I am sure plenty of you have heard of affirmations. For those that haven’t, Affirmation is a declaration that something is true.
If you say something enough you tend to believe it. Affirmations are not only positive- if you tend to tell yourself I am stupid, I am fat, or I don’t deserve this- the more you think or say it, the more likely it will become true.
Now you can use affirmations to your advantage! start to pay attention how you think- is it negative? whatever negative thoughts that do pop into your head you can reverse the phrase so it becomes positive. For example I am fat turns into- I am thin or I am at my ideal body weight. I am stupid can be changed to-I can accomplish anything I put my mind into or I am smart!
Using affirmations daily can dramatically change the way you think and increase positivity into your life.
By creating your own affirmation specifically to your own wants and needs can be much more powerful because they come from you, using "your" words.
You may write your affirmations down on a piece of paper post them in your washroom and read it while you brush your teeth every morning. You can have it at your office or cubicle and read it right before you start your work day.
You can become creative and create a slide show video that you can watch daily on your computer or ipad. (Add pictures and music).
For the affirmations to be effective you must read them daily as well as believe in your affirmations - In the beginning it might sound silly but as you keep on reading
your affirmations you will start to believe and you will see a difference in your life and in people around you.
You can have different categories of affirmations. For example as one can be personal-regarding love and relationships. Another can be business related-increase income etc.
But remember the key is to read them often as many times as you can. I say my affirmations in the bathroom every morning as I get ready for my day.
