Positive Thinking and Children

I read an article on bigthink.com today called The Importance of Positive Thinking. The article was talking about young children around 5-years-old and how at this early age they can tell the difference from negative experiences versus positive experiences and how their parents deal with the day-to-day things can impact the way they see themselves in how they deal with the day-to-day as they grow.

The article explained how pessimism and optimism are traits taken as an adult characteristic because personality development is still forming in young children.

What I gained from this article was the importance of how we react to situations, even the not so positive ones, in a positive manner, especially around out children. Positive thinking isn't a moment-to-moment deal, it's a life-style and the benefits are worth it. Less stress and being able to cope better when things aren't going the way we wish them to be. By modeling positive reactions to all of life's situations for our children can really help to make a difference in their emotional lives years down the road.

What is it?

I have been researching and reading and researching and talking and sharing and mentoring and being mentored and reading and really, really trying to gain as much insight as I possibly can in terms of the enlightenment that has become of me. I am excited and I believe I am knowledgeable enough to begin sharing all of which has led me to these 'A-Ha! Moments'.
I'm not a certified life-coach... yet, but I've been coaching people my entire life without even realizing it. I guess that's the irony in it. The Law of Attraction for example, I've been using it since the day I formed thought without even realizing it. For the majority of my existence I have been living in default mode like many, many other people. I have never felt so liberated as I did the moment I learned about the universal law, the Law of Attraction.

What is the Law of Attraction?
The Law of Attraction is a universal law that at it's most basic description could be simply stated as "like attracts like". In terms of the metaphysical, this law can be related to our thoughts, emotions, words and actions. When we are feeling happy and having positive thoughts we are also attracting more happy feelings and more positive thoughts, the same goes for feeling depressed and thinking negatively.
This of course, is a very, very, very basic description, but I will share even more about it as this blog goes on and on and on and on.

Stay tunes, I have so much to share!
