Nothing comes under as much scrutiny in the world of self-improvement at the concept of positive thinking. The cynical say that just believing in something doesn't necessarily make it true while the more optimistic admit that they don't always turn the positive thinking into positive action.
The reason why positive doesn't always work for people is because the positive thinking is only on the surface while deeper beliefs and thought are still negative. Even one deep seated negative thought is enough to interfere with the positive intentions that you set yourself.
Just thinking positively doesn't get you anywhere though. You need to be taking the right action as well. But when most people need to start taking the right action they find their positive thinking fails them.
The opportunity to take the right action will expose your negative beliefs. Taking action forces you to confront all those negative beliefs and battle against them in order to get things done. Positive thinking is effective when it outweighs the negative thinking or when the negative thinking has been gotten rid of.
If you manage to focus completely on the goals you set it is possible to persevere through your negative beliefs. But this requires a lot of effort, because taking action in this way conflicts with your negative thoughts and brings up negative feelings. Taking action towards your goals feels bad in stead of good as you would expect.
As always, Tapping makes it a hell of a lot easier. If, when you take action, you look for the negative feelings that come up, and tap them away, the negative thoughts vanish. You realise that the thoughts didn't come from the reality of the situation, they were just your mind's way of rationalising the feeling.
When you lose all those negative beliefs and thoughts that stop you from having the full benefits of Positive Thinklng you'll be able to have a much stronger and deeper positive world view. Taking the right action will become more naturally and success will come much more easily.
