the power of positive thinking

The power of positive thinking and manifesting can occur in many ways, here is one author’s way.

Book by The Power of Positive Thinking: A Practical Guide to Mastering the Problems of Everyday Living is a 1952 self-help book by Norman Vincent Peale.

Peale begins by stating ten rules for “overcoming inadequacy attitudes and learning to practice faith”.^[4] The rules include the following:

Picture yourself succeeding.
Think a positive thought to drown out a negative thought.
Minimize obstacles.
Do not attempt to copy others.
Repeat “If God be for us, who can be against us?” ten times every day.
Work with a counselor.
Repeat “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” ten times every day.
Develop a strong self-respect.
Affirm that you are in God’s hands.
Believe that you receive power from God.^[4]

The next chapter describes the importance of creating a peaceful mind, which can be done through inspirational reading, clearing one’s mind, or visualization.

Manifesting through your own beliefs and rituals can be done with belief in yourself or a higher power, your own God. Whatever that is for you.
