When my boyfriend was up at college they had a motivational speaker and he shared it with me when he got home, i though it was pretty good. I hope i can use it to help with my anxiety.
He said 87% of illness comes from the left side of your brain, the left side of your brain is where all the negative thoughts you have come from. The right side of your brain is where the positive things come from.
He said you want to think with your right side all the time but, how do you do it?
well he said every time something negative comes up, think of 20 reason why its a good thing to go through.
Its not always easy somethings i told my boyfriend how is any of this positive and he came up with reason so if you really try and think about it, there is good things in bad situations.
You just have to find them. And tell yourself it will be ok think with the right side and dont get stressed or sad let your right side control you. eventually you will be a happier person.

I can’t say I’m an expert on brains but I find this is so interesting left and right. Also it is interesting how one side can be creative like a little inner child and the other is like a vulcan in the tv series star trek and only logical.
I tend to think of our negativity though as conditioning. Perhaps, it is the same as saying a part of the brain contains those things if they have been put there by us though. I just wanted to mention conditioning because when I read this discussion it sounded like part of the brain is our enemy or something like a devil out to get us in trouble and not sure we are made that way? Have we ourselves by conditioning not made ourselves that way? Anyone, reading this see a difference?

Yes, I suppose so.
If it was possible, not sure if it is, but hypothetically speaking, if our logical side of our brain was full of positive logic then wouldn’t it stand to reason we wouldn’t get any negativity. Just a thought.
The other thing that comes to mind is how memories work. It is not like filling a bucket with water. A memory is like painting a picture by going over and over the same lines. We should try to keep our colours lite, happy and bright?

Hmm, that is something to think about, almost like we have to teach our selves to stay on the good side.

Yeah, i think you are right.
My memories aren't always the most positive things I have had a hard childhood.

Oh that was pretty confusing. Hopefully you can clear it out a bit in your subsequent posts. I would like to share my experience which I have of a seminar from a record holder for his brilliant memory. He said that right side of your brain is governing your logic, intelligence and smart brain work. Your left side brain is responsible for you being abstract, being thematic in your thoughts, your creativity. He also advised that if you want to develop your creativity you should try using your left hand, left foot for some common works.

sorry, i think the main point too clear things up,
is that you should try and be happy and think positive about things.
when you have stress and negative things come from the left side of the brain and so when you are having a bad day you should think if reasons why it could be a good day.

This is so funny. I just tried slapping my right hand with my left one and it seems like play but if you slap your left hand with your right one seems abusive. Try it if you like but don't try it too much or too hard. Anyone else notice this? Does it also depend on whether you are left of right handed?

Our happiness and sadness mainly depends on how we look at the situation. It is we who choose whether to see oasis in the desert or desert around the oasis. I don't know which part of our brain generate negative thoughts and which part generate positive thoughts. I just hope for the best in my life and be prepared for the rest.

Every effort made to make people see the brighter side of life is worth appreciation. We all know how important it is to be positive in life, yet when we get caught into some trouble our mind starts counting the negative effects of the situation. We somehow forget to see the positive side of the situation, and discussions like this trigger the optimism in us.

We have a saying in our country:
There is light in every darkness & darkness in every light.
It is always easy to see the big one, and not that hard to notice the darkness in the light.
However, the right way is to look for the light. Since even a small one can drive the darkness away.
