Radiant Thinking

WHAT IS RADIANT THINKING?

Radiant thinking can complement mind mapping by enhancing the thought processes that result from non-linear thinking. It is a process that can help you to maximize the untapped potential of your mind.

Radiant thinking works by acknowledging the fact that no one's mind works without connecting associations together. It is not natural for the mind to work in any other way, yet many people believe that the mind works in a straight line way of thinking. Our mind is made up of a huge network of associated thoughts, and we can take advantage of the hierarchy of those thoughts by using the concepts of radiant thinking..

How many neurons do you think you have in your brain? Too many to count, really. The way you take advantage of those neurons can make a vast difference in your life. Radiant thinking shows us how the average life is spent in a way that is counter-productive to the intended purpose of life. We are not here to live in negativity, yet that is exactly what most people are doing. Those who aspire to banish the negativity from their lives can count on an existence that is entirely positive.

What if our entire world population decided to ban negativity? This is what radiant thinking is all about. A world that existed in a state of positivity and was able to ignore the negativity of life would be a world of peace and happiness, no matter what the circumstances.

YOUR BELIEFS HAVE POWER

Those who subscribe to the idea of radiant thinking believe that they can have the things they want from life if they believe in them. In a radiant thinking world, nothing is impossible, and no belief system is really wrong. Beliefs have the ability to either hinder a person or engulf them with power.

What you believe has power, more power than you ever dreamed. Your beliefs zero right in on your nervous system. Earlier in this book, we spoke of the placebo effect, and how people who believe they have been given medication that is going to help them get well will actually recover from whatever was wrong with them even if the medication given to them consisted of nothing more than sugar. This is a belief system at its finest. They believed something was so, and things turned out so that they were absolutely correct in their belief.

A person's belief system has the ability to define just how much of that individual's potential can actually be harnessed from the mind and put to use by the body. The forces within a person can go to work with positive affirmations uttered by this person in order to change their life for the better.

HOW RADIANT THINKING CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE

How can you use the power of radiant thinking to change your own life and make it better in every way? The answer to this question is almost too simple to be believable, yet if you truly believe, it can happen for you. It is not difficult to set your own healing forces into action. A little effort and determination is all it takes! Just get used to uttering positive affirmations daily. Some people find it useful to record these affirmations on tape, then play the tape as often as you see fit each day.

You need to become very aware of your thoughts, because everything that happens to us in life starts off as a thought in someone's mind, not necessarily your own. Observe your thoughts as if you were someone other than yourself, and try not to get too caught up in them. It does not matter if these thoughts are negative or positive. You are watching them and observing them for a reason.

You will not have to do this for very long before seeing a pattern emerge. It may be necessary for you to start a thought notebook in order to keep track of all of them. Write them down, both good and bad, and also note whether or not you were able to use a positive affirmation in order to banish the negative thought. Be aware of the events in your life that cause you to have negative thoughts. Analyze these events, and if the negativity created by them is severe, you may want to consider eradicating them from your life.

BANISHING THE NEGATIVE

Negative thoughts can be more easily banished with the right mindset. Your imagination can be a big help to you. Using your powers of creativity and imagination together, you could imagine that you have befriended a powerful dolphin who has taken the initiative of being your good friend and protector. Imagine further that this dolphin has the ability to leap out of its home in the sea of your mind, and swallow your negative thoughts whenever they appear. Once the negative thought has been figuratively swallowed by the dolphin, replace it with a positive thought immediately.

THE POWER OF IMAGERY

Imagery can be very powerful. By taking advantage of its power, you can successfully limit the number of negative thoughts that enter your mind. While this is going on in your conscious mind, bolster your unconscious mind by surrounding yourself with positive people if at all possible.

POSITIVE SURROUNDINGS CAN BE YOURS

If this is difficult for you, then make your home a positive oasis. Refuse to allow negativity to even cross the threshold of your abode! Think positive thoughts, read only positive books, and get yourself a book of positive quotes that were once uttered by famous people. Write some of the best quotes on index cards, and tack them up around your home. Place them on mirrors and on doors. Fasten them to the refrigerator and use them as bookmarks in your current reading material.

Place these cards anywhere and everywhere you will be able to see them on a daily basis. Make sure you do not leave the same ones in place too long. Rotate the cards on a weekly basis, and soon you will know these quotes by heart. They will be very useful for counteracting any negative thoughts that creep into your mind.

This may seem like a lot of fuss, but research has proven that anytime you keep something in the back of your mind at all time, it will become a part of you. By having these quotes scattered about in the areas where you spend most of your time, your absorption of their truths will be complete.

RECREATING YOURSELF WITH RADIANT THINKING

Never forget that you have the ability to recreate yourself with the power of thinking positively. Positive thinking adds new meaning to your life, and helps you to recognize the many possibilities that await you. Negative thoughts can erase possibilities, and can make you believe that nothing good or productive will ever come your way again. However, positive thinking unlocks your brain from its stagnant state, and opens the floodgates of possibility that are all yours.

You will feel the change in yourself when negativity releases its grasp on your mind. You will no longer have that hopeless feeling, no longer fear the future, and no longer doubt yourself and your capabilities. Radiant thinking causes you to become aglow with the sensation of living a life that is totally fulfilling.

NO MORE NEGATIVITY

Without negative thoughts, you will feel more loving toward the world and all its inhabitants. This in turn can cause you to feel even more content and full of joy. Your dealings with others will have a different feel about them, and those in your world will approach you in a different manner, for they will be able to see the change in you. They may want such a change in their own life, so you must be prepared to tell others about the power of radiant and positive thinking.

You will look forward to each new day and the things you will be able to accomplish. Radiant thinking can fill you with a peaceful energy. So many times, people think they are energetic, but they crash at the end of the day. A frantic pace mixed with caffeine fools them into thinking that they have energy. Their mind, however, can tell the difference, and this is why their energy never seems to last long enough for them to accomplish lasting joy and peace. Again, do you see how the whole world could benefit from radiant thinking?

While you are beginning your journey into the world of radiant thinking, it is a good idea to try and take each day as a separate entity. Don't think about the bills you need to pay, the car that needs a wash, the hole that the dog dug in the garden last weekend. Forget all those old memories that wash over you without warning, and leave you feeling empty and depressed. Be happy and cheerful, no matter what the circumstances. Take the time to enjoy the sunshine, the song of a bird, the caress of the wind on your cheek. Be at one with the world, and do not allow the negativity that is so pervasive in today's environment to touch you in any way.

THE POWER OF THE AFFIRMATION

With practice, every day could be like this for you. Along with your positive affirmations, radiant thinking can rejuvenate you. Affirmations are perhaps the most powerful weapon you have in your quest for improving your brain power. Never take an affirmation lightly! Affirmations do work, though perhaps not as quickly as you would like for them to.

You may be interested to learn that you do not even have to utter an affirmation aloud for it to work, and work well. Whenever you simply think an affirmation, it precipitates a type of vibration deep within your subconscious mind. The vibrations will overwrite what was placed in our subconscious mind previously. Since the subconscious produces our attitude toward others and toward the world in general, and also have some bearing on our habits and behavior, it is easy to see how affirmations can help us to make our existence a positive one.

We are what we think! This has been proven time and time again, ever since the world has been inhabited by man. If you have a negative self image that is causing you to have negative thoughts, positive affirmations can help you to repair your state of mind and make it easier for you to embrace the art of radiant thinking.
