Quick though: Positive thinking

I read and talk to people about the concept of thinking positive. In my experience I think that a lot of people mis-understand it though or don't fully appreciate the benefits of thinking positive.

Thinking positive is about looking at a situation and deciding the best way forward and realising where you should focus your efforts. It is about taking responsibility for your own success. It's not neglecting negatively or saying "if I believe I will win, then I will win".

Yes, you need to believe you can win to win, and remembering past examples or reviewing previous wins is a good way to re-assure that belief and confidence in yourself. Mainly though, it is your approach to situations - how I can improve my situation? What can I control that can be changed to make things better? Why do I accept things that are holding me back or not fulfilling their potential? Who sets my limits? 

You only have a certain amount of energy to apply yourself with, a healthy lifestyle will improve your stamina and mental efficiency - you must focus your energies in the area's that will benefit you most.
