How To Expect The Best

Unfortunately, negative thoughts tend to multiply like bacteria – even when you’re not consciously thinking negatively.

However there is some good news. You can turn your negative outlook into a positive one. All it takes is a bit of patience and persistence until the positive thoughts become second nature.

Below you’ll find some simple steps to use in forming positive expectations on a daily basis:

Become Aware Of Your Negative Expectations

One problem with negative thoughts is that they often form in your sub-conscious, and you get so used to them being in your head that you hardly notice them.

To change the flow of negativity, you have to become even more aware of your thoughts. You can do this by doing self-checks several times a day.

First you need to notice how you feel. If you’re feeling positive and productive, then most likely you’ve been thinking positive thoughts.

However, if you notice that you’re feeling irritable, pessimistic or stressed, you've probably been focusing more on negative thoughts. Of course when that happens:

Acknowledge Then Change Your Negative Thoughts

Believe it or not, it’s really simple to acknowledge then change your negative thoughts. All you need is a little willpower and concentration.

For example, if you start feeling doubtful about your ability to finish your work on time, you might engage in a bit of self-talk like this:

“Okay, so I’m feeling a bit worried right now, but everything is okay. I’m strong, I’m smart and I’m capable of finishing my work on time. I’ll do my best and everything will work out fine.” Even though nothing has changed in your circumstances, self-talk will get you feeling and thinking more positive.

While You’re Changing Negative Thoughts To Positive, also work on developing a habit of general positive expectation. Each morning, affirm confidently, “Today is going to be a wonderful day! Everything goes my way and I’ll enjoy plenty of lucrative opportunities and fun!”

When You Encounter Obstacles Or Problems...

See them for what they are...opportunities to learn, strengthen yourself and grow. Perception is 99% of the game! And if you just work on shifting how you view the experiences in your life, you can easily conquer your negative thought habits.

The more you focus on changing your outlook to highlight the positive in your life, the more you will empower yourself to create better circumstances in your life. Before you know it, you’ll be enjoying better and more frequent opportunities and attracting other likeminded, successful people to connect with.

Expecting The Best - And Getting It!
By Gary Evans

When it comes to abundance and prosperity, expectations are vitally important. By studying the Law of Attraction we understand that we receive exactly what we expect in life. Why is this? How do expectations work with the Law of Attraction?

Your expectation of something is extremely powerful. Everyday you expect fresh running water, you expect transport, you expect your local store to stock an abundance of food. These types of expectations may be common to you, yet in other parts of the world they are not freely available!

Your expectation plays a huge part in ensuring that you keep receiving these things.

The Universe Understands Our Vibrations

If you have spent just a little time studying the Law of Attraction then you will know that it is your thoughts and emotions that contain manifesting power. This is because that is all the universe can hear, it doesn't hear your words or speak our language - but it can interpret the vibration that comes from your thoughts and emotions.

Expectation can be likened to a belief, yet it is stronger and more confirmed. A belief is a thought that you keep thinking. An expectation is a thought you keep thinking but also have strong belief that it will occur.

Below you'll find some simple tips to help you learn to expect the best - and get it!

First You Must Choose To Expect The Best Tn Every Situation

Start to train your mind onto good thoughts only by developing a strong focus and thinking about things that make you happy. Don't give your attention to anything unwanted.

If you catch yourself thinking a thought unwanted, simply shake your head and let the thought dissipate or say out loud 'switch' to signify a change is required. Keep saying things like, "I know this is going to work out for the best," or "I know I will turn this situation to my advantage somehow," or "I expect the best and the best always comes to me!

Avoid Negative Talk Like The Plague

By "negative talk" I mean complaining, arguing, being miserable or feeling fearful and powerless - anything that drags down your emotions and contradicts your positive expectations. Limit the amount of time you spend with negative people. Some people are easy to complain with than others, do your best to avoid conversations with these people and spend more time feeling positive and spending your time with positive people.

Phrase Your Statements In A Positive Way...

That is descriptive of what you want. It is quite easy to recognize what it is that we don't want, the problem with this is that we have immediate access to that thought in our minds.

Instead of using statements that are descriptive of what you don't want, say what you do want! Instead of saying "This won't be easy," say, "I can handle this." Instead of saying "Don't slam that door," say, "Close the door quietly". Remember, the Law of Attraction doesn't hear your words, it hears your vibrations. Whatever you give your attention to, you will attract more of.

Know That Your Expectation Will Come True.

You may wonder how to "know" when you really don't know yet! If it hasn't happened yet, how can you be sure it will? This type of knowing is based solely on faith. You must CHOOSE to know. It might take awhile to get comfortable with this, but once you do it becomes a lot easier.

In order to really know, you're going to have to completely banish doubt and disbelief from your mind. When they pop up, simply push them out of your mind and affirm again that you KNOW your expectation will happen. No exceptions. The only way to master this is through practice.

These four simple things can make a world of difference in your ability to attract what you want, and when the manifestations start to happen, you'll be able to add them to your list of experiences to give you much more faith and confidence to your expectations - which will make them still more effective!
