One of the most ignored and yet devastating epidemics of our time is affecting millions and millions of people every day and you may be one of them. The symptoms of this epidemic are also its horrible lasting effects. This epidemic is keeping people stuck in poverty, ill health, frustration, loneliness and unemployment. No one is safe from it because it doesn’t play favorites. And, it is driven by the most powerful force in the world.
The epidemic I am talking about is negative self-talk and the most powerful force in the world driving it is your mind.
The reason this epidemic is so invasive is because negative thinking lives on the other side of the coin, so to speak. It all comes down to which side of the coin you have programmed yourself to focus on. As Buddha so eloquently describes, “What we think, we become.” “All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.”
So, no matter what you believe to be true about you or your circumstances, you are right. You are the creator of your experiences and if you are plagued by automatic, negative thoughts that skew your perspective, you end up creating a world and a life filled with everything you don’t want instead of what you do want.
The long-lasting effects of the negative thinking epidemic are a life filled with struggle, sadness and hopelessness. But the most devastating fact is that this is one epidemic that can be treated right now, today, with a 100% success rate, and yet very few people are aware of how to do it.
The Law of Attraction, based on the science of Quantum Physics, says, “That which you focus on is what you attract back into your life.” The universe doesn’t assess good versus bad. It simply reads what you are focusing your energy and attention on and gives you more of that.
So, it makes perfect sense that if you are programmed with automatic, negative thoughts that constantly berate you, you have a very good chance of attracting more negative experiences into your life. If you constantly focus on what you don’t want to happen, the universe only knows what you are focused on, and gives you more of it. Meaning, if you are focused on not going bankrupt, or not getting a speeding ticket or not screwing up that huge deal at work, the universe sees the focus being on bankruptcy, a speeding ticket and screwing up the big deal. You create that which you most want to avoid. And all because you have never been taught how to powerfully direct your amazing and brilliant mind.
One of the main catalysts for negative thinking is fear. It is the fear that something is not going to go well or the way you expect it to go that creates a lot of the negative talk that pops up in your mind.
No one in the world is free of fear. Fear is a natural emotion that all humans experience. It is actually a great thing for keeping you safe in the world. At the same time, fear that takes over the mind is the first stage of the negative thinking epidemic.
