It's Time To Strong Arm Your Mind
There’s a lot of push and shove going on in your mind, and you’re the one who’s getting pushed around. Too often, your inner voice beats you up and forces you into a corner. And after it knocks you down, it doesn’t stop the assault. It just keeps pummeling you with more negative and depressing thoughts.
If you are going to break the back of negative thinking, you must do some pushing and shoving of your own. You will have to pump some mental iron and deliver a knock out punch to all the negative thoughts that have been giving you such a hard time. You are going to have to strong arm your mind.
What do I mean when I say, “Strong Arm Your Mind?”
It’s really quite simple. Instead of just sitting there taking mental abuse, you are going to strike back and give your mind a push in a positive direction. Instead of your negative thoughts pushing you around, you are going to start pushing back, and there are dozens of ways you can do it.
Although you may feel like you have puny mental muscles, the truth is you are stronger than you think. In addition, God is on your side, and He will give you all the power you need to win this battle if you are willing to take the fight to the enemy.
When negative and depressing thoughts start their game of push and shove, here are some things you can do to push unwelcome thoughts out of your mind.
1. Use Positive Graphics to push your mind in a positive direction. When negative thoughts raise their ugly head, immediately decapitate them with Positive Power Graphics.

I looked at a picture of Bora Bora for years before I actually arrived there on my own yacht. Your mind loves to think in pictures, so give it something positive to look at. It will instantly push your mind in a positive direction.
5. Turn on Power Music and listen to the sound of your dreams. Visit Positive Christian Rock to listen to alternative rock band Too Many Drummers. Music creates an internal fireworks display that’s fun to experience. When you listen to music, your entire physiology changes, and you start marching to the sound of your dreams. Preselect music that pushes your mind in a positive direction. When the voice of negativity starts its assault, drown it out with positive music.
6. Listen to inspirational recordings. Positive Thinking Podcasts, Positive Christian Podcasts, and Positive Self-Talk contain hundreds of inspirational recordings that you need to have in your mind.

9. Talk about positive things. Visit Positive Self-Talk to get started. What you talk about expands into your life. Discipline yourself to say at least two positive things to everyone you meet.
10. Love yourself as you are. Visit Real Power: Maxing Out On God's Love. God loves you and accepts you as you are, and you should too. If it’s good enough for God, it should be good enough for you.
11. Act as if you are a positive person. To become a positive person, you must do the things positive people do. You have to do it before you can feel it. When you act as if you’re a positive person, it’s not long before you become one. Practice doesn’t make you perfect, but it does make you more positive. Live as if you are a positive person and practice being positive each day of your life.
12. Live as if you are a forgiving person. Living as if you are a forgiving person is the only way you can ever become one. You have to do it before you can feel it.

Live as if you are a forgiving person and practice forgiveness each day of your life.
13. Live as if you are a loving person. To become a loving person, you must do the things loving people do. You have to do it before you can feel it.

16. Perform physical exercise. Vigorous physical exercise releases endorphins that have a mood elevating effect. For several hours after the exercise, your sense of well-being is unequivocally positive. The exercise doesn’t have to be vigorous; even moderate levels of exertion have a positive effect.
17. Go for a walk in the park. A walk in the park or a small hike can be a positive experience that cleanses the mind of negative thoughts. People who are shut-ins simply blossom when they get outside in the fresh air. Their world suddenly expands, and they feel as if they have been released from prison. It’s like the dawning of a new day or the onset of spring after a long hard winter.
18. Open your heart and mind to the Positive Power of God’s Love and get a completely new way of thinking and feeling.
19. Practice God’s presence each moment of the day. The power and presence of God in the world is love. Whenever you see love, you are seeing God’s hand at work. When you pass on God's love to other people, you experience God's presence and power.
There are plenty of things you can do to push your mind in a positive direction, and none of these things are high tech or cost a great deal of money.
Strong arming your mind is mainly a matter of self-discipline; you don’t need to be a genius or to talk to a therapist to push your mind in a positive direction.
When you feel down and depressed, you may be so overwhelmed by the voice of depression that you believe you can’t do any of the things listed above. And if that’s the case, don’t try to do them all; only do a couple of them. You’ll probably be surprised to find that after you do two or three, you will be able to work your way further down the list, and before long, you will start feeling better.
Today is a great day to strong arm you mind and give it a mighty push in a positive direction.

Positive Self-Talk Yellow Book
Many people believe change is impossible. Most of the time they are confusing personality with personal behavior. The basic human personality is relatively constant over time, but human behavior can and does change. Personal change happens when people change the way they think. I have numerous patients formerly addicted to meth, cocaine, heroine, and alcohol, who escaped their addictions without ever going to rehab for treatment. They simply arrived at a point in their life where they no longer wanted to be prisoners of their addictions. They had experienced enough misery to last ten lifetimes, and they said no more. They changed their belief about who they are and what they can do with their life, and they became a different person who was chemical free. I am grateful to those patients, because they proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that people in the worst circumstances can and do change. Because of them, I am committed to helping people change their lives one belief at a time using positve self-talk. Positive Self-Talk Yellow Book is now available in ebook format at Amazon, iTunes, Kobo and Barnes and Noble.
Positive Self-Talk Gold Book
Mark Twain wrote, “Life does not consist mainly, or even largely, of facts or happenings. It consists mainly of the storm of thoughts that is forever blowing though one’s head.” Mark Twain was right. Life consists mainly of the storm of thoughts that blow through your mind. The events of life can be trivial, tragic, and even monumental in nature, but the events themselves have little power. It’s the storm of thoughts about those events that controls our lives. Surviving the storm of thoughts is how we spend most of our time. No matter what we do, the storm still blows, and to a significant degree shapes our lives. Surviving the storm is something we do every day all day long. An entourage of thoughts accompanies each event in our lives. Those thoughts can be positive, negative, or most likely, something in between. Those thoughts are the battleground where we come to our agreement with life. Those thoughts define who we are and what we can do. You need to learn how to control the storm of thoughts blowing through your mind. Positive Self-Talk Gold Book is now available in ebook format at Amazon, iTunes, Kobo and Barnes and Noble.
Positive Self-Talk Silver Book
You can change who you are by changing what you say when you talk to your mind. Just be sure you are speaking a language your mind understands. Your brain speaks to you in its own language, and if you speak to it in the same way, it immediately responds in a powerful fashion. That’s why change proceeds most rapidly when you talk to yourself using the language of the mind. If you don’t speak the language of the mind, you may as well stop talking until you learn it. The three most powerful components of the language of the mind are images, sounds, and emotions. When my brain wants to get my attention, it does not send a text or an email. It blows me away with sights, sounds, and emotions. If you want to get your brain’s attention, you need to do the same thing. Send a message full of sights, sounds, and emotions. Start speaking the language that your mind understands. Positive Self-Talk Silver Book is now available in ebook format at Amazon, iTunes, Kobo and Barnes and Noble.
Positive Self-Talk Purple Book
Living small serves no great purpose. Living as if you are a great person is a powerful idea that changes lives, and those who take it seriously change their world. Living as if you are great means you live as if your dreams are possible and work each day to make them happen. You act as if you cannot fail. In order to live as if you are great, you have to think the way great people think, talk the way great people talk, and act the way great people act. Great people think, talk, and act their dreams into existence. If you ever become great, it will be because you think great thoughts, repeat great self-talk, have great expectations, and act as if you cannot fail. Some people wrongly believe that change is impossible. Leopards don't change their spots, and zebra stripes are forever. But people are different. People change their stars. They change their stripes, and their spots disappear in an instant of time. That instant happens the moment they develop positive expectations and believe they have the power to change. Positive self-talk and positive expectations can take you anywhere you want to go. Positive Self-Talk Purple Book is now available in ebook format at Amazon, iTunes, Kobo and Barnes and Noble.

Lack of persistentce has laid more dreams to rest in the cemetery of failure than any other cause. There is zero chance that you will succeed on your first attempt.

Before you can be bad, you have to try. Millions of people stop at try. Thousands get stuck at bad. Hundreds quit at good. A few go all the way to great. If you don't have persistence, you willl never make the trip from try to bad to good to great. Positive Self-Talk Red Book helps you develop a persistently positive focus so that you can develop a consistently positive mind.
