Increasing positivity within us
In today's era, all of us need to make sure that we think positively, hear only positive and truth, and speak only positive and truth. By following this rule, we help to make our minds and overall behavior positive.
I firmly believe that a positive mind is a constant source of positive energy that makes the attitude - positive. A combination of a positive mind and a positive attitude brings a large positive difference in our life. The same is also true for Truth. Truth does not need any baggage to carry, reducing the burden on the mind.
On a typical day, we gather a lot of information. We interact with many people, who may not speak positively or the truth. On the contrary, a large part of our conversation can be categorized as rumors and untrue, hurtful, and useless information. The same also happens in regular gossip and chit-chat.?
Social media has broadened this further. The information there may not always be true and positive. A lot of toxicity, misery, agony, falsity, dishonesty, etc is everywhere.
At the end of the day, the consequence of all these is - an increased concentration of negativity or garbage in our minds. Our mind loses peace and generates billions of negative thoughts. This happens endlessly and continuously in our lives.?
Since the mind is occupied with unnecessary activities, our ability to concentrate and focus gets impacted which intern impacts our productivity and quality. Losing peace of mind also affects health. People perform meditation, mindfulness, etc, however, I believe, these remedies are many times reactive rather than proactive.
The best proactive way is to control this negativity that is coming to us. There are three simple questions - also known as filters, which, if implemented in life, will improve our life. These questions or filters can control information entering and leaving our senses. As the input information is controlled, the storage of the information is automatically controlled.?
In essence, by using these filters each time before we speak / hear / read anything,?
-> we will take true and positive input only,?
-> will store that as information,?
-> will pass on true and positive information only.?
This makes everyone a more positive person and helps improve our quality of life. Below are these questions:
Question -> Is it absolutely true / positive ?
2. If the answer is yes, then ask the next question
Question -> Is it Good or Kind for us or them (who is telling)?
3. If the answer is yes, then ask the last question
Question -> Is it Beneficial for us or them?
We can proceed to speak / hear / read once the answer to the last question is also yes.
In short, we need to stop communication if the answer to any question is not Yes because there is no use of information that isn’t true, isn’t good, and isn’t even beneficial.
