Day 100 Intention ~ Think Positive Thoughts
I was perusing last month's Yoga Journal this morning when I came across a little snippet about how studies have been done at the Medical Research Council in England about replacing negative thoughts with positive thoughts and how it actually worked in research participants.
In Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, it reads:
PYS II:33
Vitarka badhane pratipaksa bhavanam.
When disturbed by negative thoughts, opposite ones should be thought of.
So when you find yourself feeling low or negative about things, try some positive thinking to change your mind. It's all about attitude. This can be difficult in the heat of the moment, say, if you are arguing with someone or if you lose someone you love, but trying to come to the opposite emotion can help. Remember a time when you were laughing with the person you are arguing with or find gratitude for having the person you lost in your life. Find a way to change your attitude to a positive one and your whole day may be on the upswing.
Til tomorrow...
Shanti,
Marcia
