Any thought of yours either positive or negative is carried forward by the other person and pass on the next person and then to the third person and it goes on; however its intensity starts decreasing. It is same as throwing stone in the still water; the ripples generated starts spreading with increasing circumference. This process is called the chain reaction of thoughts either positive or negative.

Any one of us capable of creating chain reaction of thoughts but how many of us are capable of creating chain reaction of POSITIVE thoughts?

Now, the question is how to remain positive and create a chain reaction of positive thoughts in the surroundings?
Well, there are certain activities which we need to practice in our daily lives and these are as follows:

(1) Search for the possibilities in the every situation

Actually, in every situation you have three options:

Probably, most likely to happen
Impossible, a negative outcome
Possible, a positive outcome

These options are nothing but your mindset and selecting any of the above options will cost you nothing but each option will give you different outcome. For example, you wake up late in the morning and you missed your bus to office. In this case the probable outcome is you will reach late in the office. The negative outcome is that you get tense on getting the thought of getting late and you boarded another bus in hurry and you ended up with fight with another co-passenger. A negative atmosphere is created in the whole bus.
The positive outcome can be that you boarded another bus and got a chance to interact with new co-passenger and you have a great interacting with him and you share your contact numbers. A positive environment is created.
So, it is all about accepting the situation and conditioning your mind to search for the possible opportunities lying in your path. Your quest for searching for the hidden opportunities will generate positive thoughts in your mind that will create a chain reaction in the mind of others. The people around you will get influenced in the same manner you get influenced by your thoughts. Therefore, create a possible mindset; it acts as a catalyst which creates a chain reaction of positive thoughts and it has the capability of attracting people, ability to have longer conversation with them and enthusiasm to sail through the difficult situation with positive energy.

(2) Use the power of the appreciation

The appreciation is something which has energy to make the impossible thing, a possible thing. Your words of appreciation have the power to infuse positive thoughts into others, which is reflected in their behavior and work. An under appreciated person has low productivity than the rightly appreciated person with the same amount of qualities and the caliber. Appreciation and praise gives a person a happy feeling of acknowledgement about her/his work. The right & genuine words of appreciation stimulates the brain of a person in a positive way and it responds with positive actions which in turn motivate others to do the same and hence triggers a chain reaction of positive thoughts.

(3) Participate and involve yourself with others

When you participate and involve yourself with others, you tend to become more understanding about the process and the problems faced by others. As you become more understanding, others will attach themselves with you and they start sharing and enjoying their work.
Consider the following two situations:

You instruct a person to do a particular work
You participate in the process with the person

There is significant improvement in the productivity in the latter case, when you participate with the person and involve yourself in the process. Actually, by working together boost the morale of the person which spread like anything in whole team. This is nothing but a chain reaction of positive thoughts which get triggered as soon as you involve yourself in the activity with others.

How many times you involve yourself in cooking with your spouse?
When is the last time you dance or played with your child?

If you find hard to remember then do it today, you can easily find the difference in the taste of the food and glow on the face of your child.

(4) Take charge of your life

One of the finest ways to grow in life is to take responsibility of your life, actions and every failure without blaming others. This will give you the power that will help in building and honing yourself esteem and you start feeling better with each passing day. You become more stable, satisfied and become more equipped to handle emotions. Now, the people find it easy to share their emotions and you tend to have strong and long lasting relationships in life. Your decision of taking charge of your life will make you a unique person and everyone in the surrounding wants to come under the influence of this positive energy.

(5) Adopt healthy lifestyle and excercise

It is true that a healthy and fit body attracts everyone’s attention in public.

A healthy body is a result of maintaining healthy life style and a regular exercise.
