To Create A Joyful Life -What Works And What Does Not Work

If you read my blogs for some time you surely noticed my negative opinion about positive thinking theory. What is it? Well, you can find it in every place you go. More or less is this the concept:
When you look in the mirror in the morning repeat "I'm beautiful! I'm beautiful! I'm beautiful!" -or something like this.
When you are in your office and something bad happens you have to repeat: "It's for my benefit!" -more or less this way.
When you feel bad you have to repeat: "The sun is shyning brightly! The herb is green! The sky is blue!"
You understand now what I'm speacking about here.

The problem is that all this do not work.
Not that the theory is not good. It is good. The problem is that we do not touch the depth of the soul. We touch only "external" mind. But these negative thoughts come from "internal" mind.

So, is it possible to a simple person without special preparation to arrive to that depth? Yes.

I read it in the texts. They explane this our bad answer to the good theory: we are too familiar with negative reaction. So, when we have to answer to any situation, our soul offers us negative reaction first of all. It's clear that it is protective behaviour. The help to survive in the world of many dangers. But now this protective reaction makes us bad service. Because we are so stressed by it, that we can't stand it more.

The way to go out of this situation is to re-educate the soul. Educate it to be more positive. We needed many-many years to creat this reaction, that is why we need time to re-educate the soul. We have to force it to see everything around us in positive light. And to forse the soul to remember the joyful reaction.

Look at your table and enjoy it, look at your clothes and enjoy them. The room is not clean? Clean it and enjoy that now it will be so clean!

In this way you don't need to buy new things to feel a moment of joy and distraction from something bad. You enjoy what you have. Because if you have this thing, you liked it once. So, it has something to be good. Remember it and enjoy.

It's true, you need time to re-educate the soul. But with this education the soul becomes more positive generally and the life becomes more joyful. And your reactions on the negativities of the life are more soft.

I do it and I like this training.
