5 Keys to Stay Positive in Challenging Times,
by Pragito
Dove
Are you having trouble staying in a positive state of mind when
challenging circumstances present themselves? The Universal Laws state:
so without, so within. Everything is a mirror. We cannot change the reflection,
but we can change the original(ourselves),and then, automatically, the
reflection changes.
Here are my top 5 Keys that can help you cultivate not only a positive mindset but also the feeling state necessary for the positive Law of Attraction. The more you focus on bringing awareness to accepting and loving yourself, the more your inner beauty and harmony is reflected in your outer circumstances. The Sufi master who designed the Taj Mahal based his work on meditation. It shows, doesn't it?

1.
Relax
and Accept
Relax and accept the
challenging situation. Don’t fight it because that will make it worse. The more
relaxed you are, the more productive you are. Creativity arises out of a
relaxed state. And it’s creativity that you need to come up with solutions to
the situation you are in. Notice that I
use the word “situation” and not the word “problem”. There is no such thing as a
problem, only a situation. When you shift your perspective and see the
situation as it is,without negative commentary, then you come up with creative
solutions, and/or you find the right person to help you.
2.
Watch
the Mind
Make a practice of watching the
thoughts of the mind with non-judgment and compassion for yourself. It is not
the thoughts that are the problem, it is our identification with them,
that creates stress and anxiety.
For 5 minutes a day sit with
eyes closed, body relaxed, and observe the thoughts of the mind. You don’t have
to censor them, or force them to be other than they are, simply observe with non-judgment,
and let them pass by.
Over time, you become
less identified with the thoughts, and more connected to your creativity,
wisdom and clarity.
3.
Create
Positive Thoughts
A powerful way to undermine the influence of negative thoughts on your well being is to create a practice of saying positive thoughts to yourself. At the beginning these might seem tedious or silly, but, believe me, it works! The easiest way to break a bad habit of self-judgment and criticism is to create positive phrases that you repeat to yourself as often as possible. Even if you don’t really believe them in the beginning, say them anyway! Over time they become a habit and the negative thoughts simply dissolve.

Surround
yourself with Positive People
Be alert to people who like to complain, bad-mouth others, and/or have
a depressed outlook on life. AVOID THEM. Keep yourself in the company of
positive thinking people. This is a powerful way to keep yourself in a
positive energy field which will LIFT YOU, rather than bring you down. Your
life is not determined by outside circumstances, but rather by how you respond
to those outside circumstances.
Remember that all things are possible, there is a lot going on
that is unseen to you.
The more you keep yourself on a positive vibrational level, the
greater your chances of having positive outcomes to challenging situations.
5.
Be
Grateful, Laugh, Celebrate
Be grateful for what you have. If things are really bad, be
grateful for being able to breathe, get out of bed in the morning, use your legs.
Be grateful for the sunrise and sunset, for the beauty of the sky, the trees,
the birds and flowers. There is always something to be grateful for. Put your
focus there and celebrate what you have. Laughter is a powerful attractor
factor. Seek out ways to bring more laughter into your life. You will be amazed
at the miracles that occur.
Meditation: Befriending
the Mind
Benefits:
When you befriend the mind you are surprised how radically life can change. It becomes much easier to disidentify from the mind's constant chattering and see yourself, and life's situations, with more clarity and objectivity. You see life's dramas with perspective and compassion, and insights and understandings arise naturally.
Find
ways to befriend your mind. The mind is our bridge from the subconscious to the
conscious, our gateway of expression to the outer world. Be grateful for it.
Find ways to appreciate the insights, understandings, and creativity it brings.
See it not as an enemy but as a friend. When you befriend the mind you are surprised how radically life can change.

As this friendship with the mind deepens, your mind no longer disturbs you. You are not fighting it; you are simply letting it's thoughts pass by.The mind and the ego want to make it complicated, but it is not. Life sings a different tune when you are not controlled by the mind. Your natural joy, spontaneity, self-acceptance, love and compassion arise quickly and easily.
