Facts are:  negative thoughts impact Our brain/body chemistry in a negative way, and Positive thoughts impact Our brain/body chemistry in a Positive way.  Our Well Being (i.e. How Good or Bad We feel), is a function of the Sum of Our negative and Positive thoughts over time.

If We become rather negative, cortisol is produced and starts ripping through Our Body setting Ourselves up with Anxiety, and possibly, Panic Attacks.  Also, with such a negative mindset, serotonin levels diminish over time leading eventually to Depression.  When We become Positive per the Book’s Cognitive/Behavioral Modification Repetitive Training Process, after having prior Issues with negativity, this Normalizes Our brain/body chemistry overtime.  And if We continue to be Positive through Life, It Is Just A Beautiful Feeling :); Nothing is Better than that Feeling!  When We Get That Way, We essentially want to Do Everything, Go Everywhere, and See Everyone, but when We Don’t, Sadly, We Don’t want to, nor may not do anything (to the extent of being Agoraphobic).

Have You heard of the Book called “The Secret” published in 2006?  That is considered the #1 Motivational/”Self-Help” Book having sold over 19,000 copies. Sounds to be a GOOD Book, compliments of Wikipedia. But what I/We Know Now, this is really only considered as such, based on those numbers of copies sold.  It’s popularity was triggered by extensive advertising campaigns surrounding the Book, besides a movie was made from it.  What I understand, the Author dug into the past of Famous People (the Einsteins, the Lincolns, etc.), and they All came to the realization, if We think Positive through Life, Good things are going to happen to Us, based on the “laws of attraction”.  And if We are negative, Good things generally will not be happening.  Yes, No Doubts, this is Accurate!  So the Facts of what gets Us feeling Good or Bad (i.e. Positive vs. those negative thoughts) is shared by both “The Secret” and my Book.

Now the differences: “The Secret” does not address how to be Positive, or How Best to be Positive, nor How Best to change those negative thoughts and mindset to Positive thoughts and mindset, as humans, which is what  my Book is All About.  Big difference…

The Lady I learned from started her “Midwest Center for Anxiety & Depression” business, back in 1983, 23 years prior to when “The Secret” was published.   Of course She and Her chosen Professionals Knew of the Power of Positivity which was the basis of Her Self-Help Program (“Attacking Anxiety & Depression”) which collectively took 16 years to develop and Optimize.  That is what was funneled into my Book using my own words for the most part.  Besides, I was able to add additional Key Elements which can Only Help (Significantly for me!), especially when we fall on the depressive side of the fence in Life; I spent lots of time dealing with the Pains of depression, and fortunately I was So Lucky to have learned a lot from that. So Grateful!

So Negative vs. Positive thinking, is the Basis of this Book with no interesting (that loaded word) philosophy going on like some things I have read in the past. I read or, have to admit, I jumped ahead reading “The Four Agreements” in the last few pages of the Book which are Good, Obviously! But the philosophy, or background (?) leading up to those were (?).  Regarding the Four Agreements though, they are just a small subset of what you get out of This Book, when ya Read It and then Work It, No Doubts…

The other KEY Factor regarding Our Positivity is addressed in my Book’s section 4.  We Have to Have a Strong Foundation (…allowing Our Faith to Grow with age), which is the basis of Our Positivity. When We do things Right with Integrity, etc. in Life, that’s a Positive making us feel Good , and when We do things wrong, that be negative, making us feel Bad.  This be Fact!

Regarding the “laws of attraction” mentioned above, per a video I saw, scholars agree and have identified “Quantum Physics/Mechanics” as the mechanism driving the “laws of attraction”.   And some wonder if there is a God :)??  So Who Designed “Quantum Mechanics” :)?  That’d be God, and YES, I call this Fact!  Hence, that’s just additional and Powerful rationale why a Strong Foundation is the basis of Our Positivity.  Follow the dots and it All makes Clear and Logical sense :).

So when We combine Our Strong Foundation, along with the Book’s Optimum Positivity Tools/Skills Process, We  Really Have Everything to Cope with All things in Life, and Yes, with a :)!

Have a Good Day if not a Great Day and :),
