Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad to hear that I am able to inspire you. It is always wonderful to hear that my message is resonating with someone. Keep learning and growing, and I wish you all the best on your journey.
YES!!! And I also feel meditation helps sooooo much in slowing down our thoughts and in creating a space for inner calm. I feel that negative thinking patterns can gain some momentum, so meditation helps to create some detachment in order to regain our natural state of peace and equilibrium. Meditation is like a massage for the brain overloaded with negative or stressful toxins: it relaxes and flushes them out! Thank you Peter, always.
Knowing what to feed yourself mentally is the first step toward a life not just of success but of significance. With this newfound awareness, you're not just treading water anymore; you're steering the ship.
i agree with u peter and can relate because i grew up in a negative ghetto area born with some negative family and what help me as i got older is surprisingly meeting people who love themselves and have interesting lifestyles whether its online or offline and at the same time reminding myself im going to do fine to remain positive and appreciating life
Adad Joseph it's really hard when it's your own family and the people we love .... they don't see their self, their language, their choices, or it's affects. How did you discover yourself ?
Great question i discover myself when i started taking my interest in tech very seriously and go to as many tech events as i can using a app called meetup to meet tech professionals in the area and spend less time with family and friends without completely cutting them off
Peter Thank you so much!! You make me realize things that I haven't realized before! Every time I watch you, my eyes tear up because of how inspirational you are! Thank You!
man very inspiring , a very simple and easy way to get negativity out of your life , peter sage is the truth man wisdom that can last for a lifetime and the best thing is since I'm young and still to my youth which is 19 , i soak this in like a sponge and apply everything to my life in business no better time to learn from the greatest before us like peter sage
Thank you Peter🙂 Being a gym rat , you're analogy of going to ' a positive mental gym' to a regular gym , and taking time to train really resonated with me. Sometimes I have difficulty stopping myself from negative thinking , your suggestion of taking time to see results from gym attendance to doing positive mental workouts really clicked in my head
It may take me awhile, but......I am going to keep watching these videos over and over. I need positivism and these videos seem to talk a lot on being more positive and dealing with negativity so i am glad i decide to watch. I hope these help me.
So almost like over riding the system (subconscious) with positive things that give you a positive emotion of happiness, joy, etc. Everyday I'm reaching to get better. Thank you for this wisdom.
"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things." Philippians 4:8
I really enjoyed this video before bed. I have been struggling with negative thinking for years. I’m trying everyday but it’s so easy to fall into the negative mentality
Clever man Good common sense, sometimes we just need things pointing out, we may already know.. Trouble is, some habitual thinking is deeply rooted and holds the power, over positive thinking. But what he says is true, things are not going to change over night. persistance the key. keep focus. Focus on positive things.Be aware of our thoughts, then we maybe then start to change them. Thank you for sharing.
I get it it's like building a house you have to start from the foundation up if you start putting the wood on and make it all decorative the foundation is not going to work , I love this guy
Hi Peter, I've only recently discovered your videos on here after reading someone's book where you were mentioned as an inspiration to them, and now I see why. Like many, I've been through and still going through a pretty tough period in my life and your videos are really helping me see things differently. This video in particular I really needed to watch this morning, and so glad I have. Are there any motivational books you could recommend, I'm not really interested in any from a business perspective, but just motivational reading material for life as a whole. Thanking you in advance. Sammy.
Problem is if you find a partner because your are fat positive thinking is nothing else than just constantly lying to yourself. Or if you are an introvert and acting socially awkward so you cant make any so called friends positive thinking wont help you either. Or if you dont have a job and all people around you are very in to their jobs and you get offended by fucking the whole work-life-balance shit positive thinking is just another possibility to keep things up but in fact you are an outsider and outlaw who lost the connection to society as a whole. very complex issue IMHO
I love your thoughts Peter. Have you got any content on managing finances/savings? I always hear about 401(k) in videos/posts by Americans - what's the British equivalent? How can your money make money in the UK? How do the mechanisms differ? What would you do/recommend? Would be super helpful to have a "big picture" video on this for the 2nd rate 'uninformed' people like myself. ^^ Cheers
The world needs energy. I looked into setting up solar panel array in the Sarah. Seemed logical to me. Apart from the transmission problems, I wondered why no one had done it. Then I discovered the place is pretty much lawless, full of bandits and rife with small arms smuggling, human trafficking, drugs and counterfeiting. Associates in DRC had a bad time last year and came “home” suddenly and still haven’t said what happened. Then I read more about human trafficking and its incredibly hard to stay positive with that kind of putrid behaviour going on. And it’s all connected. Investments into “hotels” in Europe are sometimes brothels where abducted girls are forced to work. Pharmaceutical companies outsource production to India where they drugs are copied and sold on the black market. Not necessarily a bad thing, but then I found out that they are paying off the criminal underworld to NOT make the copies… which fuels the very problem. Such funds often are leveraged into trafficking and drugs. Banks are complicit in money laundering, tax havens help the rich and powerful asset strip other countries resources. Video games like Call of Duty pay licence fees to arms manufacturers to use likeness of their weapons, so, yeah, your 10 year kid is funding arms manufacturers. Maybe a good thing…maybe not. BUT, the point is, ignorance is bliss. Ignorance means these trifling matters don’t concern your mind. As Dan Pena says, the more you investigate, the less you have to invest. It’s my experience that the more you research and analyse, you slowly come to the realisation it’s all fundamentally corrupt. Take for example “nutrition” companies selling power bars or whatever. If people ate right in the first place, they wouldn’t need nutritional supplements. Unfortunately, the milk and meat industry has pulled the wool over your eyes! And so has McDonalds, but that veil has at least been lifted.(Well, nearly, just look into the inefficient energy model of cattle, deforestation to make way for grazing) Again, ignorance. Sometimes, I wish I had taken the blue pill. I talk about this stuff with friends and they don’t want to hear it, cant hear it, or don’t believe it. After a while, I just talk meaningless BS about whats happening in Big Brother or fecking Lizard Lick Towing. Oh, that cheers them up! It’s really depressing. “It’s easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled” - Twain. Correct. Oh, and why does the world need energy? So we can waste it on useless things like watching more 50” TVs and … well, you get the picture. SIGH.
gepisar you have a beautiful mind. I can identify with your dilemma .. once we know, what do we do with it and how can we "unknow" that which we come to know.
In actual practice I find it very difficult when I have a negative colleague spreading around negative thoughts that I may not necessarily share but you can't stop them or be so indelicate to contradict them, you have to walk with them a few steps sharing their negative thoughts then try to give shyly a small positive opinion but then the damage has already happened
Hey yousra, I think peter's new video on masculine and feminine energy will help you with this. It talks about how to your point, it's not about trying to force someone else to change. It then gives them awareness of how it has affected you and allows them the choice to adapt or stay the same.
the reason I think about negative thoughts is because I go by "prepare for the worst, hope for the best" it is stupid not to have negative thoughts but you do have to weigh outcomes and prepare your self
How to stop bad thoughts go to the shower if you think something negative turn the water very cold and when you stop thinking negative turn it back to normal keep doing this and it helps but not as good as the video
Thank You Peter, is there a book you recommend for someone who lost their family and would like to feel alive again and transform their grief into living with true happiness and purpose? Or is it as simple as getting into the gym of positive emotion like you say in your video? Grief has been the hardest thing I have ever experienced, and I would like to stop wasting my time and letting pain control my life. Blessings to you :)
+YFabu For anyone reading this in the future and going through the same situation, I have been reading "The 7 habits of highly effective people" and has helped me a lot. I was not expecting it to be somewhat of a self-help in the area of grief.
+YFabu Do you have someone to talk about it? Someone you can trust? If yes, I'd recommend you to share your feelings with him/her. Just be vulnerable and speak about how you feel.
Jorah The Friendzoned Thank you for your suggestion. I have been able to talk but with a therapist. I am trying to live the best possible life after this nightmare. The hardest part is moving on with your life. It is not easy for us who are left behind, but I am doing my best to learn from the experience. Reading books has helped me a lot. Thanks again for your suggestion, blessings to you.
+YFabu I hope you're feeling better lately. Let me recommend you another book which I think could help you in the future. :) It's called Letting Go by David Hawkins, a great book about surrendering to life. David is one of the recommended authors from Peter in his Millionaire Business School.
Thank you for your enlightening videos and sharing your information with the rest of us. If if its ok, can ask if you can stop flipping the angles of camera on the videos please.
Hi Pete. Love the video. Do have any advice on how to not eat when emotional. I need to loose weight and start eating healthy but then last night my ex girlfriend called and shortly after I went to the super market and made bolognese and ate 3 bowls when I had fish and said in the fridge. Afterwards I noticed that it must be emotional stress that is keeping me from sticking to the healthy diet. I do three days good and mess it up. I also have anxiety. Any advice would be much appreciated
Ive been thinking about bad things like throwing tablet,glasses and something in me wants to do it nd sometimes i couldnt hold it anymore so i threw them this is ruining my life and even my future Can someone please help me?
Language patterns, indeed. It seems that most people are conditioned to think negatively, to speak negatively. By eliminating the words don't, not, no, can't, won't, from not only my speech as much as possible, it makes a difference. A step further? Eliminate negative thoughts from my mind.Speaking to myself inside my mind, my own private thoughts, as I would speak to someone I love, makes a difference.The title of this video could be more positive i.e. ~ How to Start Thinking in the Positive
so if i'm thinking negatively and then try to put my focus back in the present with a positive thought, am I not trying to suppress the negative thought? And if I do so wont the negative thought grow bigger!
Good question. Every emotion has a lifespan in our bodies. It takes approximately 90 seconds for it to finish the circle. Allow it to happen by not engaging in it but observing it. Once the sensation goes away re-contextualise the thing that made you feel that way. Ask intelligent questions that come from more resourceful place of love and contribution rather than from the place of emotion and ego. It's about releasing the emotion, not suppressing it. Hope that helps! Stay Amazing!
i don't know how i explain my feelings and thoughts am 22 and am having lots of negative thoughts and over thinking and saw every one with same eye like he is Eve teaser he is burglar in my mind everyone is bad and not care about any one self respect
the trap itself is the trap that somehow your falling into a trap of thinking negatively and beleiving that your 'trapped...' in this pattern of the ''trap''.. its a self fulfilling prophecy... negative thinking just doesnt help... why stay in jail when the door is wide open? sometimes we just make ourselves feel trapped when really we arent.
i advice you to read about islam , I swear it could give you a piece of mind and be happy , once you become a muslim , you can finally be happy and find pthe peace you're looking for , give your self a chance , you have Nothing to lose
Peter Sage Peter Sage I really liked your comment. I think many people are uncertain of what it means to die. I think to be scared of death means there's some part of you that is skeptical death really happens. Once one accepts that they die, there is no alternative, one can do like you say and start to live.
I used to be terrified of death.... and I experienced so much of it... so many friends and family have died... but I wasn’t scared of death. I was scared of not existing... of being in a void of nothingness... but nothingness is not an experience.. and we can’t experience what is not. You are eternal. The end is just like the beginning and the beginning is just like the end.
sorrie but you yourself are infected and lasy at the same time not willing to thing negative but you need both oke if not negative you must do also de fun side of live meybe that makes things klear for you
