HOW IT EFFECTS MOTIVATION

Positive Thinking :

Positive thinking is the key to motivation. whenever we are in a state when we

think that we will not be able to complete the task assigned to us, then if at that
moment we think positive, then it will motivate us to try and try again until we
succeed. positive thinking provides an inner motivation which is way too helpful in
completing the work. this motivation is a lot much encouraging than all the other
motivations that other people gives us. unless and until, we ourselves do not want
to try the task again, any inspirational speech given by different people will not
work. positive thinking has that power to inspire us from within, to get the
assigned task done.

STAY HAPPY:

It is a well known fact that we like to be around those people who are lively and
the ones who have the ability to cheer up the mood of everyone. Such people can
light up the atmosphere by making everyone laugh and thus releasing their tension.
When we are around such people, we tend to forget about all our difficulties and
sorrows as they cheer us up and unburdened and light. Also, when we are facing
problems in our life, they motivate us and provide us inspiration. Such people are
the ones who have a positive attitude towards life. If we also adopt positivity, then
other people will also like to spend time with us, which ultimately makes us more
social thereby increasing our social circle.

VIBRANT HEALTH:

Positive thinking is very beneficial for your health. Even several scientific studies
have shown that people with a good, positive vibe are less likely to suffer from
depression and they get ill more rarely than the negative thinkers. In many cases,
bad thoughts are the main cause of deceases, and even the word decease means
that the person is not at easeJust change your thoughts and you will change your
life. Thats why, taking care of our thoughts is taking care of our health.

HELPS TO UNLOCK GRATITUDE:

Gratitude is the key to achieve real happiness. As it is said, that we realize the
importance of something or someone, only when we lose it. Sometimes, we are so
busy thinking about those things that we do not have and we want, that we forget
to be grateful for the problems that we do not have and for everything that we
have. Optimism makes us appreciate all the things and persons we have in our life.
Positivity teaches us to not to take anyone and anything for granted and value
everything we have. However little it may be, but when we apply positive thinking
in our life, it will help us to value life in all its glory.

BOOST UP OUR SELF ESTEEM:

Positive people believe in the motto I can, and I will. This thinking of theirs
boosts up their self confidence and esteem which then helps them to become
successful. To be successful in life, we must have faith in ourselves and must
believe that we have the ability to complete the task assigned to us. If we think

positive, then we will be able to complete anything and everything assigned to us

which will provide us with great growth in our career.

ATTRACTS POSITIVE THINGS:

The most important reason for adopting a positive attitude and outlook is because it
attracts positive things. It is a famous proverb that Good things happen to Good
people. Good peoples are the one who do good deeds, are kind hearted, spread
love and happiness, never harm others and the ones who possess all the good
qualities known to us. Optimism instills many good qualities in our character,
which thereby makes us one of them and therefore helps to attract good and
positive things in our life.

POSITIVE MIND ATTRACTS POSITIVE

EVENTS:
First of all, if we decide to become positive, we can make the so called law of
attraction work for our favour. The main principle of the law of attraction is that
like attracts like. If you will make positive thinking your habitual way of seeing
life, imagine how many great things you can attract into your life!

What Positive Thoughts Do to Your Brain:

Fredrickson tested the impact of positive emotions on the brain by setting up a

little experiment. During this experiment, she divided her research subjects into
five groups and showed each group different film clips.
The first two groups were shown clips that created positive emotions. Group 1 saw
images that created feelings of joy. Group 2 saw images that created feelings of
contentment.
Group 3 was the control group. They saw images that were neutral and produced
no significant emotion.
The last two groups were shown clips that created negative emotions. Group 4 saw
images that created feelings of fear. Group 5 saw images that created feelings of
anger.
Afterward, each participant was asked to imagine themselves in a situation where
similar feelings would arise and to write down what they would do. Each
participant was handed a piece of paper with 20 blank lines that started with the
phrase, "I would like to..."
Participants who saw images of fear and anger wrote down the fewest responses.
Meanwhile, the participants who saw images of joy and contentment, wrote down
a significantly higher number of actions that they would take, even when compared
to the neutral group.
In other words, when you are experiencing positive emotions like joy, contentment,
and love, you will see more possibilities in your life. These findings were among
the first that suggested positive emotions broaden your sense of possibility and
open your mind up to more options

NEGATIVE Thinking:

What Negative Thoughts Do to Your Brain:

Play along with me for a moment.
Let's say that you're walking through the forest and suddenly a tiger steps onto the
path ahead of you. When this happens, your brain registers a negative emotion -- in
this case, fear.
Researchers have long known that negative emotions program your brain to do a
specific action. When that tiger crosses your path, for example, you run. The rest of
the world doesn't matter. You are focused entirely on the tiger, the fear it creates,
and how you can get away from it.

10 | P a g e

In other words, negative emotions narrow your mind and focus your thoughts. At
that same moment, you might have the option to climb a tree, pick up a leaf, or
grab a stick -- but your brain ignores all of those options because they seem
irrelevant when a tiger is standing in front of you.
This is a useful instinct if you're trying to save life and limb, but in our modern
society we don't have to worry about stumbling across tigers in the wilderness. The
problem is that your brain is still programmed to respond to negative emotions in
the same way -- by shutting off the outside world and limiting the options you see
around you.
When negative thoughts hit your brain, its tempting to struggle with them and try
to shove a more positive thought in there. In the day-to-day reality of someones
thinking, this doesnt really work. Your emotions have a tough grip on these
negative thoughts, so youll have the best results if you imagine yourself
emotionally letting go of them. The letting go approach is used in yoga and
meditation to help a person stay focused on the present moment.
Tips to Overcome Negative Thoughts:

Meditate or do yoga.

Smile.

Surround yourself with positive people

Change the tone of your thoughts from negative to positive.

MOTIVATION:

Definition:
12 | P a g e

Motivation is defined as the process that initiates, guides and maintains goaloriented behaviors. Motivation is what causes us to act, whether it is getting a glass
of water to reduce thirst or reading a book to gain knowledge.

Motivation is a strong desire and energy to achieve something. Motivation can be

from inside or outside but the thing is that your motivation should lies insideyour
own self because if you are in search of people how can motivate you so
sometimes you cannot find them and this cause de-motivation.
Motivation is the force of life, and the drive of all actions.
Having a motivated mind state is vital in the process of pursuing any great decisive
aim, motivation is the heart of all success.
Yes, motivation is the driving force towards a goal or dream - but without courage,
inspiration and a positive attitude, motivation is nothing more than a vehicle
without a motor

THINKING EFFECTS
MOTIVATION:
If you think you are beaten you are;
If you think you dare not, you don't;
If you want to win but think you can't;
It's almost a cinch you won't.
If you think you'll lose you're lost;
For out of the world we find
Success begins with a fellow's will;
It's all in a state of mind.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger and faster man,
But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.

One Day Your Thoughts Become Things Be Carefull while choosing them.

Any self-improvement program or journey of personal development starts with

your thoughts. Master your thoughts first. Then you can master your environment
and circumstances. Self motivation is easy if you have this step figured out.

Realize that your thoughts are under your control. If you dont, you will be under
the control of your thoughts! Realize what the power of positive thinking can do to
change your life and give you a brighter future the kind of future you want!

Think and Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill.

achieve negative. Conceive positive achieve positive. Positive thinking is the
key.
"Your thoughts are the architects of your destiny".
The truth is, whether you know it or not, your thoughts are responsible for
whatever place or situation you are in right now.
