If you are struggling to generate the gumption to move forward because
of negative baggage, it is time to take positive action.
You may be dragging around feelings from a disappointment, a failure, or
a negative image from the past which is getting in your way. If that is the
case, recognize it, deal with it constructively, and decide to make a positive
change in your thinking.
Now, what we are talking about here is what many people refer to as
being in a rut, lacking motivation, feeling stuck, or focusing on negative
emotions. A circumstance that is usually, more or less, a short term
occurrence. If, however, you are dealing with a concern that goes much deeper
than this, do not hesitate to take healthy action and ask for help from a
qualified source.
Negative feelings and images that fester and are constantly revisited
can markedly stall attempts to begin fresh and move forward. Both negative and
positive self-images are very powerful, and attempting to live with both
simultaneously is a clash of brain power that simply does not work. Think of it
as one cancelling out the other.
Unless you decide to take control, negative thinking and images have a
way of continually bombarding your outlook toward a downward spiral. Such thoughts
just seem to feed on themselves, resulting in behavior that only supports being
stuck in your tracks.
A conscious choice to release negative thoughts and images must be made
in order to allow for new and positive experiences to occur. Doing this gives you
the power to let go of limiting beliefs and to change your perspective. It
usually requires you to step outside your comfort zone - but that is where most
success really takes hold.
In summary, if you find that your thoughts and actions are holding you
back from gaining positive traction, then it is time to make a change. Embrace
the concept that the more your thoughts are focused on the positive, the less
room there is for the negatives to creep in and take hold.
