Do you know how to switch the
polarity of your thoughts? It is possible to do so with a consistent,
concerted effort on your part. Switching the polarity of your thoughts is
something you can learn to do, but you may not be aware of the advantages of doing
that with respect to how you think. It is possible to increase the love, laughter and light in your life.
What is polarity of thought?
Dictionary.com suggests that polarity with respect to thinking is “the state
of having or expressing two directly opposite tendencies, opinions, etc.”
In other words, your thought processes can demonstrate polar opposites of words, phrases and sentences that
are positive or negative in character.
Each person has an innate
ability to think in terms of the positive or negative. This is a good thing, as
it allows discernment, differentiation and decision-making in accordance with
value judgments that in turn can affect words, deeds or behavior.
For example, a truck parks
behind a parked car. Immediately, a negative thought may result in an adverse
response that in turn, triggers an outburst of anger. “That man is blocking my
car.” A more positive thought based
on observation might be, “The man in the truck parked behind my car is
unloading his furniture." Taking it further, a more positive thought
might be “He will move his truck in a moment.”
Becoming proactive, he decides, “I must go and meet my new neighbor.”
Switching polarity of thoughts
from negative to positive appears to be easy for some, but not
necessarily for everyone. To a large degree, it entails making a personal
choice in terms of thought processes. Switching polarity of thinking is an
important factor in mental health.
Many different, conditioned
responses repeatedly surface in human thought processes. Some of them
demonstrate distinct and dramatic polarity of thought. In other words, a few
may be very positive while others are exactly the opposite, extremely
negative. Then, there are neutral thoughts that are not positive or negative.
Neutral thoughts do not usually cause problems, nor do the positive ones.
Extremely negative thoughts based upon fear can result in outward expression of
paranoia, or outbursts of anger.
Discovering a new way to think
is a challenge that you can take on personally. Simply begin to think about
something specific and then consider the number of other, different and
possibly better ways you can think about it. There are no limits.
If you are prone to think
negative thoughts consistently, it may be part of your upbringing. Perhaps it
has to do with the perception of your parents, grandparents and others. You do
not have to think that way.
Challenge yourself everyday to
think strong, positive, constructive and highly motivational thoughts, instead
of the kinds of thoughts that tend to be mentally and emotionally debilitating,
disturbing or destructive.
Switching polarity of thought
is like turning a light switch on or off. Remember that there is a time and
place for negative thoughts, but transitioning them into powerful positive
thoughts can bring so much more love, laughter and light into your
life.
