Does Positive Thinking Really Work?
So, does positive thinking really work? Let's find out from our marketing expert Maini...
Maini, my next question for you is, does positive thinking really work?
Oh Julie... Absolutely it does look, I can tell you that I spent years, not thinking positively, and I never got anywhere. I never really achieved what it was that I wanted to, even to the point where I didn't set big goals because I just didn't think I was ever gonna get them.
I've got a classic example I'd like to share with you. I can remember when things weren't so great many moons ago, back when my 20s. I won't go into detail but I moved countries for a fresh start basically. Just completely by myself.
Whilst everyone sees this as really brave it's like I felt like I didn't have anything else I could do. But I can tell you, Jules that I would wake up most mornings and think
"Oh I can't believe I'm still here."
Honestly, that would be the very first thought that would go through my head is the fact that I hadn't;
I hadn't been given respite. That hadn't passed during the night and I hadn't died. That's honestly how I felt. It was like
"Oh my god, I've got to face another day of this" and I mean, that's how my days would start off.
These days now, I'm working on my mindset.
It's like the moment I wake up, it's like, right! What are you doing today? We've got this. We've got this happening.
And I'm like, Yes, I'm ready to dive out of bed, and I'm ready just to absolutely go and smash my goals,
I tell you what if it wasn't for the work I've done changing those negative thoughts to positive thoughts, I wouldn't be where I am. I wouldn't be on this interview with you right now.
So yes Julie. My answer to does positive thinking really work is a big fat YES!
