Positive thinking is all about a mental attitude that transmits to the minds thoughts. This in itself is one of the strongest powers that we possess. Through positive thinking you really can open the door to success, be it financially, physically, mentally or through work.
Many people are at loggerheads with themselves over many issues and positive thinking can bring that inner peace that they are searching for.
Everyone has heard the saying "is the glass half full or half empty?" well to see the glass half full does not necessarily mean that it not half empty, but you are transmitting positive thoughts to your mind, and that, repeated in everything you do day to day will start to make you see life in a different light.
People in general can bring you down. They don't even realise they are doing it half the time, but by using positive thinking you can counter the negative. You also tend to find that when you start transmitting your new positive attitude, friends and family are also affected by it. Maybe not at first because it is alien to them, but eventually they will feel they are missing out on something!
The power of the mind is a phonomenal thing and Napoleon Hill (who wrote the classic book Think and Grow Rich) describes it perfectly "What the mind can concieve and believe, the mind can achieve".
Positive thinking alone however will not totally change your life, it's not enough just to think - you have to DO! Organising your mind and your life will give you structure and a solid foundation on which to build. By decluttering your life both mentally and physically allows you to see everything more clearly.
Setting attainable goals to start with is the key to catapulting you to where you want to be and positive thinking will help you reinforce these to achieve your goals.

Self Help. Raise Your Self Esteem!
Self help audio books were the in thing a while ago, but the market seemed to get flooded and there were so many different variations that people became overwhelmed and didn't know which particular program to choose. It became that they needed help deciding which self help they really needed.
In effect this defeated the object, and most didn’t get what they were looking for from the stuff they bought. This material is still out there, but it is not as "in your face" as it once was. Someone who needs to improve themselves can still find it, but the choices are much better today than they were years ago.
The most common search for self help is help with low self esteem.
This has to be the most important area to work on as it directly affects all other areas of your life. Many people find that if they don't feel good about themselves, their finances, health and love life also suffer, and that is why this type of self help is something that should be considered carefully. Everyone is made up differently and we all have various levels of discipline and tolerance etc. So when choosing a self help book or audio, make sure that the program is something that you can comfortably stick to long term.
Other popular types of self help are things that relate to careers. These are also very good sellers, and there are some books out there with great information. There are some that help with resume and presentation, and others that help someone move up the career ladder. This type of self help might not be as straight forward as other types, but might be more like guidelines that each person can apply to their career rather than step by step help type advice.
Self help to a certain extent is something that has to come from within. You can find information almost anywhere on any type of problem, but most of the time someone has to find out what is going on within themselves in order to figure out where to go next. There is often no way a book can help with a specific problem, and the self help that someone finds must come from themselves. When the problem is very personal, only a personal solution will help. A book or even a program may help to some extent, but most of the solution must come from the mind and the experience of the person involved.
Self help is connected to so many different categories, relationships, debt, diet, self esteem, the list goes on..... But the main thing to remember is that you are not alone in seeking self help and by seeking you have made the first step to improving your life!
