Positive thinking people are liked by others and will receive great benefits in relationships, their personal life, and in their business and careers. Being able to use positive thinking in all situations, both personal and work related, will open up more choices for you. While others sit around blaming others and letting life get them down, you will be looking for the potential positives and moving forward. People will like being around you and your glowing motivation will be picked up by friends and colleagues.
Positive thinking gives you the ability to see the possibilities in every situation. By using this one simple motivation technique you can have constant self improvement and gain the many benefits others miss. You will be able to stop those negative influences that are outside of your control bringing you down. Use this technique and you will be seen as a positive person that influences others and people will want to be around you. As a manager and trainer I have used this positive thinking technique with sales people and staff I have managed with great success. I´ve taken motivation techniques from the world of NLP and performance coaching and developed this one easy to use idea.
So here´s how it works. When we perceive any situation and form an opinion we do it through our mental filters. We use past experiences, our beliefs, and true or false evidence to form our version of the situation on the internal map of reality that we create in our mind. It is these internal filters that influence what we look for in a situation. This positive thinking motivation technique works by re-training those filters to find what´s good in a situation rather than focusing on the negative impact the situation could have on us.
In any situation, position, problem, or relationship issue, ask yourself what´s good about it? Ask what´s good about this situation and your mind will look for the answers within the parameters that you have set in the question. You will mentally filter the incoming information and find what could be potentially positive. Once you have found the positives you can then set new questions and find the dangers or negatives if you need to. Taking control of these mental processes leads to constant self improvement and motivation. Asking what´s good about any situation gives you the opportunity to find positives where others see only negatives. It takes away the defensive reaction of blaming others and influences outside of your control. You take back control in all situations.
People in competitive roles, such as sales or management, will have a great advantage over colleagues and competitors because they will be seeing opportunity where others only see negatives and obstacles. Asking yourself what´s good in all situations is a really effective motivation technique that can have fantastic financial and personal benefits.
If you mange people can you imagine your staff using this motivation technique. Instead of the usual moaning and whining and looking on the dark side of everything, they will look for how they can benefit from the situation. Instead of blaming the company, the customer, or you, they will let others lose motivation and look for how they can benefit. Then think how this makes you look compared to colleagues.
It´s not easy to suddenly change and see the positive potential in all situations. You are literally re-training your mind to focus in a new direction. After manually focusing your perception you find that this process becomes automatic. At first it is uncomfortable and you slip back into old habits. Then you use positive thinking a few times without any effort and hear yourself stating the potential positives in positions where you would have only seen the negatives in the past. You then become unconsciously competent and you have acquired a new skill of positive thinking.
I´m Stephen Craine, a working sales manager and trainer. The positive thinking technique is just one of the many tools I have developed working with my sales teams. These are real techniques that work outside of the classroom and have been proven and refined in real everyday situations. You can see more free training on motivation and positive thinking on my website at Motivation Information.
I look around the world and use many different disciplines to find and develop sales and motivation training for my working sales teams. Once the ideas have been proven I share them on my website and in my newsletter. You´ll find free sales training and professional courses that are unique and proven to give you results.
