Transcript
- 0:00You ever have one of those days where your attitude just can't seem to shift?
- 0:05Well, we're talking about that today and.
- 0:08Let's see how to cultivate a positive attitude, because that will help you find success, help you feel better in your life.
- 0:17Even when things may be falling apart.
- 0:20All around you.
- 0:21Picture this you're looking in the mirror with a sour face, a sour attitude, and then a few seconds later, go to the mirror and look at yourself with a positive attitude with the positive facial expression.
- 0:37I talk about the ripple effect a lot, because I am a firm believer and what you put out there ripples into the world, and you may not even know it.
- 0:46We are prone to.
- 0:50Think more negative than we are positive.
- 0:53Why?
- 0:54Because our brains are wired that way.
- 0:56We want to be safe your brain is going to alert you when something negative is going on.
- 1:04You're listening to Kathie's coaching podcast.
- 1:07I'm your host, Kathie Owen.
- 1:09Let's talk about a Reality Transurfing quote that I'm going to pull from the book right here.
- 1:16The circumstances of a person's life are not only created by their actions, but also by the nature of their thoughts.
- 1:23If a person has a hostile attitude towards the world, They will find that the world responds to them with the same.
- 1:32If a person constantly expresses dissatisfaction.
- 1:36They will find more and more reasons to be dissatisfied.
- 1:40If a person's attitude to life is predominantly negative.
- 1:44The world will show them the worst side of its nature.
- 1:49Conversely having a positive attitude is the most natural way to change your life for the better.
- 1:57I'm going to repeat that because it's important.
- 2:00Having a positive attitude is the most natural way to change your life for the better.
- 2:08People get what they choose like it or not.
- 2:12That is how life works.
- 2:15Vadim Zeland, Reality Transurfing.
- 2:18You may have heard me say this before attitude.
- 2:21Is everything.
- 2:23And today we're going to talk about that.
- 2:25We're going to talk about Reality Transurfing yes, I am back.
- 2:30So I love to open up the book Reality Transurfing, just randomly open it up and it comes up with so many profound insights that it's like, oh, okay.
- 2:43I never thought of it like that.
- 2:45Even though I may have read it before or done it in another way.
- 2:52And we're going to talk about that today.
- 2:54We're gonna talk about shifting.
- 2:55Your attitude, how you can do that to make your life just feel like it's the way it's supposed to be.
- 3:04So Vadim tells us that there is a profound truth in life, and that is your attitude.
- 3:11Is everything.
- 3:14Like it or not.
- 3:14So our attitude, our thoughts, our beliefs, our behaviors, all affect what's happening around you.
- 3:24It is a simple truth.
- 3:26And I'm going to give you some examples of universal law that explains that.
- 3:31Number one, the law of correspondence.
- 3:36You hear in Reality Transurfing the mirror principle?
- 3:39Well, the mirror principle is just what this whole quote is talking about.
- 3:44It's what you believe, what you put out there is what you're going to get back.
- 3:49What you're looking at in the mirror.
- 3:52Is the beliefs and the thoughts that you have.
- 3:56So.
- 3:57Picture this you're looking in the mirror with a sour face, a sour attitude, and then a few seconds later, go to the mirror and look at yourself with a positive attitude with the positive facial expression.
- 4:13And that is what you're going to give back because that's how the brain works.
- 4:18At these smile.
- 4:19You just feel better.
- 4:21It sends signals to your brain.
- 4:23Research has shown it.
- 4:25That when you smile, you send signals to your body, that everything is okay.
- 4:31It helps.
- 4:32That is the attitude adjustment shift yet you want to take.
- 4:37In the mirror principle in the law of correspondence.
- 4:41Then we have the ripple effect of dissatisfaction.
- 4:46I talk about the ripple effect a lot, because I am a firm believer and what you put out there ripples into the world, and you may not even know it.
- 4:56For example, I'm a big proponent of storytelling in.
- 5:01Just different places and it never ceases to amaze me when people come back and they're like, oh, I remember this story you told me.
- 5:12And I'm like, okay, they get some parts of this story.
- 5:15Right.
- 5:16And some parts of it they don't get.
- 5:19Right.
- 5:19But what happens when you tell a story is it causes a ripple effect that person's brain means they go into.
- 5:28Their own ideas of what's going on inside that story.
- 5:33Therefore they're getting their emotions involved, they're feelings involved, but what comes back is a different story because of that interpretation.
- 5:43However, almost all the time, the stories bottom line that I was trying to get to gets across because of the way storytelling works because of that ripple effect.
- 5:57And that is a profound difference as opposed to.
- 6:02Just telling a story, just putting it up.
- 6:06That is where the ripple effect takes place in there.
- 6:09And then we have the negativity bias.
- 6:13We are prone to.
- 6:17Think more negative than we are positive.
- 6:20Why?
- 6:21Because our brains are wired that way.
- 6:23We want to be safe your brain is going to alert you when something negative is going on.
- 6:31And so we're biased towards negativity.
- 6:34It takes effort to have a positive attitude.
- 6:39Especially in a trying time, that's just the nature of our being human and all that good stuff.
- 6:47But.
- 6:49You get what you choose like Vadim says in this quote, when we get what we choose.
- 6:55Um, positive or negative.
- 6:58It takes effort to think that way.
- 7:01For example, let's say it's been raining for a week where you live and it's been dark and dreary and sad and depressing.
- 7:12You have to work to think positive in those times you have to work because your brain is just soaking in all of this dreary stuff.
- 7:23That's your negativity bias taking place.
- 7:26And then number four, the power of choice.
- 7:30Amidst the chaos of life.
- 7:33We have the choice of hope to think hopeful thoughts in the chaos.
- 7:41This is the power of choice.
- 7:44I think back to my custody battle.
- 7:47You hear me talk about this all the time.
- 7:49I was in a custody battle that lasted 14 years with a very mentally ill man.
- 7:57But this person is still like 25 years later, still suffering from his mental illness.
- 8:04And it's having a ripple effect like we just talked about, but it's having a ripple effect on his life.
- 8:11What happened with me?
- 8:13I chose the power of hope, the power of a positive thought processes.
- 8:19And I took what they call the higher road by doing that.
- 8:24It shifted my perspective of everything.
- 8:26I just let go of all my attachments.
- 8:29I dropped importance.
- 8:31All the things that we talk about in Reality Transurfing and it affected everything.
- 8:36My ripple effect became a positive one.
- 8:39That's now coming back to me, you know, how a ripple will go out.
- 8:43And then also when it's real close in, it's just very profound and very many ripples take place.
- 8:52And so my ripple effect is a positive one, but his was not so positive and it's taking its effect on him.
- 9:00But that.
- 9:00That is what it is.
- 9:01I mean, I don't wish that on him and actually I pray Ho'oponopono over him and hope for the best.
- 9:10If that makes sense.
- 9:12So I have bonus downloads on Reality Transurfing on dealing with pendulums.
- 9:18You are welcome to and download that.
- 9:20I have a link to that in the show notes and description below.
- 9:25And let's get back into the video.
- 9:29So the first four things that are actionable steps that are from this quote in the book, Reality Transurfing are the law of correspondence.
- 9:40The ripple effect of dissatisfaction.
- 9:43The negativity bias.
- 9:45And the power of choice.
- 9:48So let's talk about some practical strategies that can help you cultivate.
- 9:54A positive attitude.
- 9:57Number one.
- 9:58You're going to know what's coming.
- 10:00An attitude of gratitude, shifts, everything.
- 10:04For example, like when I was talking about the rainy rainy days and you're just tired of the rain.
- 10:09You could take an attitude of gratitude with that rain and look at things like, look at different things you could be grateful for.
- 10:18Maybe it's the birds chirping.
- 10:19Or maybe it's just the simple raindrop ripple effect that we were talking about.
- 10:26You can always find something to be grateful for in any situation, gratitude practice is very helpful.
- 10:35Number two challenge those negative thoughts.
- 10:38Just challenge them.
- 10:40Just see why there are even there.
- 10:44Ask them.
- 10:45Why do I have to complain about this certain situation?
- 10:50Challenge that and break it down.
- 10:53And become aware of your unconscious beliefs about that.
- 10:58So if you are stuck in traffic, for example, And you're really getting angry and mad and talking about.
- 11:06Y you're going to be there.
- 11:08Challenge those thoughts.
- 11:10Why don't you think of it in a different way?
- 11:13Why don't you find something to listen to that you can take advantage of?
- 11:17That you're going to be.
- 11:18It's just stuck in traffic.
- 11:19You have to pay attention to the road, but you can listen to a podcast.
- 11:23You could listen to a book.
- 11:25You could listen to my podcast.
- 11:28Those kinds of things can help you overcome the dissatisfaction of being stuck in traffic.
- 11:36And you will challenge those negative thoughts.
- 11:40Number three, surround yourself with positivity.
- 11:44Your environment plays a crucial role in your attitude.
- 11:49That's just a given.
- 11:51So if you're going to surround yourself with.
- 11:54Positive things like I just talked about in that example, when you're stuck in traffic, you surround yourself with a positive podcast learning experience.
- 12:04You could even surround yourself with positive friends and a good environment with that, or go to an environment where you feel a positive influence on yourself.
- 12:17Another thing.
- 12:18I like to think when it comes to environment and surrounding myself with positivity is establishing a hobby, find something you enjoy doing.
- 12:28That's going to bring you relaxation and also enhance that positive attitude.
- 12:35And shift your perspective in the moment.
- 12:39Practice mindfulness meditation, cultivate a habit of becoming mindful and quieting the inner chatter.
- 12:50We talk to ourselves more than we talk to anybody else.
- 12:53And.
- 12:54I like the quieting of the mind and understanding oh.
- 12:59And questioning those thoughts and also just letting go, letting go of attachments when you're practicing your mindfulness meditation.
- 13:08It helps tremendously.
- 13:11Affirmations and visualization.
- 13:15I like the word auto suggestion instead of affirmations, just because I'm suggesting to myself to have a positive attitude.
- 13:23I'm suggesting to myself to let go of expectations of what I think or how I think things are supposed to be.
- 13:34Your subconscious mind takes everything.
- 13:37Literally.
- 13:38It takes it for what you say.
- 13:41If you say I'm having a bad day, that's what you're going to get.
- 13:45That is the bottom line of this quote, in fact, so let's shift those auto suggestions, those affirmations, yeah.
- 13:55Things may be bad, but switch it to say every day more and more so good things are happening to me every day, more and more.
- 14:05So I am seeing things in a positive light as opposed to being negative and having that negative attitude.
- 14:16And visualization, you know, um, Neville Goddard teaches us in The Feeling is The Secret.
- 14:22To visualize yourself winning the race.
- 14:27Public speaking.
- 14:29Doing successfully.
- 14:30And practice, practice your visualization.
- 14:34Practice the skills that help you accomplish whatever you're trying to accomplish, especially to accomplish a positive attitude.
- 14:43So the four things that we could cultivate to help us on this journey of cultivating a positive attitude are practicing gratitude.
- 14:55Challenge those negative thoughts.
- 14:58Surround yourself with positivity.
- 15:00Practice mindfulness meditation.
- 15:03And auto suggestions and visualization.
- 15:06So those are the five things that we can focus on to help us.
- 15:11Cultivate a positive attitude.
- 15:15You know, I often say this on my channel.
- 15:18It's not just a destination of a positive attitude.
- 15:22It's a journey, the journey and the destination are one because we're always evolving.
- 15:28So in the grand tapestry of life.
- 15:33Your attitude is the paintbrush.
- 15:37We're on a journey to cultivate that positive attitude.
- 15:41It's not just a destination, the journey and the destinationare one.
- 15:47All right.
- 15:48That's the episode for today.
