Committing to a positive mindset
It's easy to say that you will try to be more positive, although many people don't really understand what that means and the word 'try' is the critical failure point in that commitment.
In the words of Yoda..."No! Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try.”
Some people are more naturally optimistic and more positive than others, it has to do with our brain chemistry. That's NOT a reason to STOP! There is so much research in the field of Positive Psychology that points to the benefits of positive thought. Everyone benefits from consciously putting effort into thinking and behaving in a more positive way.
And when combined with the concepts of a Growth Mindset...we can all learn and master better ways of thinking, living and being!
Nurture versus Nature
My primary role model growing up is an incredibly negative person - always assuming the worst; unable to let go of the past; expecting bad outcomes; assuming they didn't deserve good things; critical of anything unless it was perfect; unable to provide praise; self absorbed; closed off from their emotions; and unloving.
Those close to me often ask how I could turn out so different. Well, something changed for me when I was about 11 years old. I had a panic attack and it was so unpleasant that I made a decision to never feel that way again. The sensation of being so out of control, unable to control my emotions, and being disassociated from my body was not okay. It has happened only one time since then when I was working for an incredibly unreasonable boss and also facing challenging family circumstances. Both times I made a plan to change my circumstances, reduce the impact of negative influences, and regain control of my life!
Principles for a Positive Life! Self regulation is the key...
I've reflected and read extensively on concepts related to positivity and make it a daily habit to consciously consider how I can inject more positivity into my life. For me, this is the foundation for living a happy and fulfilled life.
As I was about to write about 'the rules that I live by', I realised that I find the concept of 'rules' to be inherently limiting and in some way negative. So, here are my 'Principles for a Positive Life'...
