Self-help Guru Says Forget About Positive Thinking

(Newswire.net — September 9, 2016) Henfield, West Sussex — In a recent article published on Forbes.com, Melody J. Wilding says that the majority of self-help gurus still claim that by repeating positive phrases, a person’s life can change for the better, though she doubts that simply encouraging people to tell themselves “I’m strong and successful”, fears would subsequently just disappear into thin air.

Wilding also points out in her article: “People who’ve tried using positive affirmations know too well that it’s going to be difficult to keep up. Many positive thinkers tend to spend 5 to 20 minutes reciting their affirmation to themselves, but what about the remaining 23 hours in a day? It’s more than likely that their mind’s going to drift back to the old negative way of thinking.”

According to Melody, the problem with the positive affirmation approach is that it only operates at the surface level of conscious thinking, and don’t actually do anything to contend with the subconscious mind, where limiting thought patterns are really housed. She goes on to recommend the re-working of self-talk to sound more like: “I’m a work in progress, and that’s the way to move forward.”

She adds: “That’s how to point someone in the direction of positive growth, while being both realistic and achievable. Another example might be telling oneself: “With each moment passing I’m making the effort to become more conscious with regard to how I spend my money”. This acknowledges the fact that one is evolving, while having the choice for creating an improved financial future.

In another article entitled “Beyond Positive Thinking“, and published on Saltori.com by author Andy Shaw, similar claims have been made about the concept of Positive Thinking. Andy writes: “Anyone who’s previously spent time in researching personal growth is almost certain to have covered at least some work on Positive Thinking. Unfortunately though this may not be the largest error of teaching within personal growth, it’s definitely one of the biggest.”

Andy shaw has developed a system of structured thinking called Saltori, which is currently being followed by people from nearly 140 countries worldwide. He describes Saltori as a ‘system of thought’, that permits freedom from pain with regards to any negative aspects of life. He affirms that people who do choose to change current thinking patterns for this ‘new way of Saltori thinking’, can achieve virtually anything imaginable.
