Should We Stop Thinking Positively?

It's something you will NEVER LEARN IN SCHOOL We are all privileged to follow this man's work

[@deekay7442]

And not some wishy washy thoughts. Instead practical approaches and ideas. Love the man.

[@RoussinSong]

...You shouldn't say that. What you schould do instead is taking what he says as a thinking subject. After reaching a conclusion, come back here, split the ideas and hypotheses he gives, think it through, analyse it in a total silence, and compare it to your own, without bias. This is how your mind grows, this is how You grow. Listening or reading about other people's thoughts doesn't exempt us from thinking on our own. ...Always think Your Own Way.

[@notaburneraccount3379]

Damn. I used to think that I was crazy for not reacting certain ways and talking to myself. I don’t know where my life would be if it wasn’t for Mr. Greene and his wisdom. I’m happy o found him when I was in college on my journey of search and discovery I always had so many questions nobody had answers to & then mr Greene came and everything started to click and still learning. Thank you for your patience and service

[@manasj.narvekar7945]

Don't you just wonder about, that so much valuable information about human psychology and behavior, many hours of book reading, observation and research condensed into a single book which is available to us for a minimal amount... isn't it wonderful..?

Both negativity and positivity are necessary because people’s nature is complex: We have to explore many views.

[@jakeelsner2963]

There are no shadows without a source of light. Light creates shadow, but shadow gives us a reference point to perceive light; nothing good comes from ignoring the bad

[@xw6475]

So so true

[@itechnwrite]

@@regularparadigm3976 - Light and dark are two faces on one thing. It is impossible to have one and not the other. Positive and negative are one thing. Life includes both through nature and experience. There is no separation or exclusion of one polarity in favor of the other. Those who try are either ignorant or lying.

Speaking of your books, I want to acknowledge the quality of them. Not just what they have to offer but the physical quality of them, they don’t break at the seam when you open them fully for the first time, you don’t need to straighten out every single page for them to stay open, the small little details show your creativity and passion. Every time I see this I’m reassured you actually care about what you’re doing

Thank you Robert! I am working on internally validating the emotions I have and then CHOOSING whether to act on them or not. I think we express our emotions because we want them validated. But if I can validate them MYSELF, I don’t need to express every single thing I feel.

[@brendanzdystopia8729]

I'm actually watching a video series about how to overcome OCD and I noticed some similarities. So you can't control intrusive thoughts or obsessions, and each time you give into a compulsion response, it temporarily lowers anxiety, but then it shortly spikes back up, whereas when you don't respond, anxiety is heightened, but over time goes down. But there aren't really 'intrusive thoughts.' You only get more of certain thoughts because you attach importance to them. You can't really not think them either. But the video I was watching today was saying you can't just, 'not do the compulsion' and if it was that easy people wouldn't have OCD, so she was saying you have to purposefully expose yourself to the feared thing multiple times, increasing the intensity each time, and attempt not to do the compulsion response during the exposure.

Recognising you're in a negative situation is actually positive. Your feelings about the current situation doesn't matter, cause there's always an objective truth which you often only recognise in hindsight.

[@arnaudmenant9897]

Thank you Robert for your vidéo. I have à lot of anxiety and stress and I do struggle à lot in life with negative émotions. I also use à lot of méditation like mindfulness in order to observe and have a better control on my décisions and actions. I can connect with your explanations very often and I must say that training our brain is like training a muscle. It takes much training and iterations but there is results. I use the "free won't" to actually choose better things that have à positif impact, ex : "I do not choose an appartment near a busy street". Very often some People around me were very/too much positiv when I told them some of my challenges or décisions and I did choose to be like them rather than myself and listening to my needs and it did cost me á lot as well since they do not have the same expérience as me. My point is that listening to the free won't is important to have à good balance and satisfy our own needs. Thank you Robert.

Hey Robert You probably won’t see this butI just wanted to say that I wish you good health, I’m somebody with a very short attention span but even with that your books are so engaging to me that I’ve been able to read them and apply some of what I’ve read into my life. I wouldn’t ever usually be able to finish a book but yours have kept me engaged throughout. I hope we have many great books from you in the future!

[@Manchainsaw]

Robert, In my opinion the problem is not just willpower, because as you know habits are powerful and addictions too but they are double powerful because they change the way you think, and u will come up with all sorts of extremely convincing reasons of why you should be doing something that you actually shouldn't be doing.. so how you fight your own logic when you find a logical explanation of "alright i guess this time it makes sense to have that beer" for example. I think this is very important thing to consider

[@martintodorov570]

Thank you Mr Greene for being and giving away all of this knowledge to us. Admirations for your work and accomplishments! You are truly a hero to many young people!

[@martinmartin9084]

I agree with much of this. I practice daily what not to choose, as it is both necessary to choose the things you want as it is necessary to choose what not to entertain. We cannot focus solely on thinking positively on what we want to acquire, we also have to reduce the amount of things that are limiting our progress. Just like with physical things, we have to limit also negative flood of thoughts, as it is as imperative to do so as it is to learn more positive thought patterns. But I often examine my negative beliefs before discarding them.

[@ltotheop7512]

Wonderfully interesting tidbit! Thank you, Robert.

Great video, thankyou Robert. How intriguing, the concept you presented,most compelling and logically interesting.

[@thebravemind_hq1762]

I'm currently studying life coaching and a model/framework that I've learnt is called the "pain vs pleasure" model, which essentially allows us to explore all the negative and positive associations we've created around a particular challenge that we're experiencing. Understanding the negative has the ability to empower us to move towards the positive.

Growing up I always did things without thinking and they were usually negative 😂, but as I grew into an adult those negative thoughts subsided even tho they were there I always thought before I acted and now they are 100% under control which is crazy to me and the path I was going down. I guess I was always an optimist to begin with.

[@M7Triple6]

Thank you SO MUCH for this Robert!!! I truly AGREE with the negativity it sometimes acts as an agent of "processsing" hurt that leads to transformation. I often used to tell people that I would "marinate" in my loss or betrayal from someone to leave me be. But when I started mindfulness they taught me the opposite. What Ive found is that when I DO marinate in my betrayal from someone its a sort of processing for me so that I can TRULY be done with that person. On the contrary if I just kept excersising my mindfulness and practicing forgiveness as Ive been beat over my head with all my life Ive found that Ive let that person back in 2,3,4, 10 times to have another go at me. I LOVE your teachings and I ABSOLUTELY love how youve said "Its not always good to be in the present moment", that strategizing requires studying the past while "planning" our next move for our future!!!! I LOVE YOU, thanks to your teachings I've changed much of what Ive been programmed with and I AM empowered on my path to Self Mastery!! Blessings to you!!! I cant wait for your next book so I can master my processing even better!!! 💥💕

This is a great idea since we’re all conditioned to look at negative thinking as bad. Hence, we all have to undo a lot of patterns that’s become unhealthy for most of us. Having to acknowledge both and being aware as a Superconscious Being is powerful. ❤

People are being conditioned into impulsively. It is the fuel of consumerism. Change, more change and thensome can really stuff up a person's life if it is ill considered. What got my life on track was '10 years of stability'. Stability is essential to success, along with hard work and focusing on achieving your goals. The impulsively mind can derail you. So be aware of it and learn to control it.
