Paralyzed Mind: Rid Yourself of Negativity

All it takes is one negative thought to paralyze your mind and  take you on a downward spiral. Negative thoughts will have you contemplating ideas that are destructive mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Negative thoughts will paralyze your mind from thinking positive. Your mind will only be able to conjure up thoughts that will not only paralyze your mind but in turn paralyze your actions. You won't want to go anywhere, do anything, you'll have mood swings and you look for more things to think negatively about. If we do not take control of our thinking by guarding our minds negativity will creep in and consume us. When you feel negativity start to take over:
 
Change Your Environment-Get up and physically move location. Go to a place that will help you to clear your mind, make you laugh or just offers a change from the norm. Changing your environment could also consist of putting on mood music something that will lift your spirits, encourage and inspire you. Get away from people who bring you down or are full of negative talk.

Affirm-Begin to speak over your situation. Affirm how you desire life to be. Keep saying the affirmation until you believe it. Look yourself in the mirror and convince yourself that your current situation is not your future. Even if the affirmation is as simple as "I can make it through and I feel overjoyed" you say it until it has replaced your negative thought. 

Think Intentionally-Don't let your mind wonder aimlessly. Keep your mind focus on good things, positive things, things of truth, things of good report, things that are praiseworthy. We have to be mindful of the seeds we plant in our mind. No that song is not just a song, that show is not just a show, that movie is not just a movie, that gossip filled conversation was not just "speaking the truth". All of  if are seeds planted that will take root and grow in your mind. What you think subconsciously is capable of making a presence in your life just as conscious thoughts. 

Don't let negativity paralyze you. Get your mind right and think positive!
