It sounds odd, but If I speak out loud what I want to hear or feel like, I can change my brain way of thinking and how I look at something!? Say if I really like someone and I want to get over them all I do is say out loud to myself ‘you do not like him jess, you will get over him and meet someone else, you don’t like him so move on’. Then instantly it works and I don’t feel anything for them? I can make myself even on my worst days when I initially know I look horrible, I just speak out loud some good words about myself and then I feel better and like I’m looking at beautiful person? Or I can feel really low over something, then I do that again and I have a realization and I’m happy again! Is this weird that I am able to trick my brain into thinking differently; I don’t know how it works? But I just tried this randomly about a month ago and since then I’ve just been amazed how quickly and strangely this works….. I didn't think this type thing was possible?!!

You should remember to do this when ever you need to, you are affirming beliefs and you are using positive thinking to transform negative thoughts into positive ones. 'Affirmations' said aloud in a mirror are very powerful. You have found a tool to help you and others through life never FORGET how to use it.When you have fear say aloud you have no fear, when you are in doubt, say I can do this.Always use it for positive good thoughts never negative.Spunky monkey

Positive way of thinking does indeed make life more fullfilling. However i don`t agree that true feelings and emotions can be just switched off in an instant because you tell yourself that, they can be controlled and coped with by practising a strong mental attitude which is positive thinking! and it does wonders for your heart mind and soul and life in general.

 It's possible. It's how we all work. The thing is that a lot of people go and tell themselves horrible things, and then they have no idea how to feel confident.. But it's just reversed of what you do. They tell themselves bad things and unless they stop they wont feel better either. It only takes a bit of self consciousness to understand that you yourself are in control over how you are to feel and react.
Certain strong feelings can be harder to control, and in any case, forcing yourself from letting out emotions will only cause you nightmares and a bad health. But turning a negative thought into a good one will enrich your life.
People who don't think this is possible, or who don't understand it, lack the training of it, or insight into themselves. They might enjoy feeling bad, and refuse to change their situation, thus they will argue that this isn't possible (because they like the idea of not being responsible for their own emotions and reactions). Each to their own.
