In one study, Australian psychologist Allen Richardson conducted an experiment with basketball players, dividing them into three groups A, B and C. He advised group A to practise free throws on a basketball court for 20 minutes a day. He advised group B not to practise at all. And group C was advised to mentally rehearse these throws for 20 minutes each day. At the end of the study group A improved their free throw ability by 25%. Group B, as expected, showed no improvement at all. Astonishingly group C improved by 24% (almost as much as Group A) although they had not even entered the basketball court. This experiment proved astonishing power of our mind on our performance.
This rule of the nature is both blessing and curse for human beings. It not only makes but mars many a career. You can compare it to the power of fire. Either convert it into a high-powered energy or destroy everything with it. If all sorts of negatives come in your mind you can never achieve anything worthy in your life. Law of attraction will start pulling negative things in your life. Therefore it is necessary to work intentionally to reformulate and recharge your thinking pattern. Redefine your vision about your future. Reset your priorities in life. Make yourself a positive thinker.
THE STORY OF TWO FROGS
The story of two frogs will further explain the theory of positive psychology very effectively. Once two frogs fell into a big bucket filled with milk. To jump out of the basket was impossible. One frog was a negative thinker. He thought that it was the end of life. He would die soon. According to his negative vision he made his grave in the milk bucket. The other was a positive thinker. He decided to try his best to come out of the terrible mess. He continued swimming and knocking the basket. He became very tired but he didn?t lose hope. He thought he would find a way out soon. He had a positive vision. His goal was to go out of the basket and join the stream of fun-filled life again. He was determined and tried again and again. His positive thinking pattern and persistence was rewarded soon. His efforts stirred the milk for a long time and a ball of butter was formed in the milk. He rode that ball and jumped out of the basket.
