Can we really benefit from negative thoughts?

Absolutely.

Many self-help books and courses talk about removing negative thoughts, eliminating them, and I completely agree with that.  However, negative thoughts and emotions play a very important role in your life.  Without them progress would be very difficult.

Here’s a little twist.

You see, whenever you’re feeling negative, what that means is that you’re not in alignment with what you really desire.

Since we attract what we feel, the minute you catch yourself feeling negative, you know that in that moment you’re attracting the opposite of what you want.

This is good.  Because most people have no idea what’s going on in their life, but if you understand what happens during the time you’re feeling this way, you can change your point of attraction.

Negative thoughts and feelings guide you and let you know that you need to correct your course.

Of course after that you want to remove the thought/feeling and replace it with what you do want.

As you start catching yourself thinking negative, you should congratulate yourself because you’re now aware of your thinking, and when you become aware you start gaining control.

As you notice that negative thought or a limiting belief start surfacing up, you know that you’re now attracting the opposite of you what you want and it’s time to change your thoughts.

Now isn’t that a better way to handle it, then to beat yourself up over the fact that you’re not positive 24 hours a day?

Plus it’s really impossible to stay positive all the time.  Whether we feel positive or negative, they’re just signals that we’re receiving about what we’re attracting at any given moment.
