Positive thinking often gets a bad wrap,
And for some good reasons.
It’s not really helpful to try to spin a bad story into a good one.
It leads to suppressing feelings and denying reality
A bit like an ostrich putting its head in the sand.
It doesn’t work in the long run.
And can actually end up making things worse.
But a positive mindset DOES WORK.
In fact it can transform your life.
Instead of positive thinking (trying to find ways to make negative things seem rosier)
You want to work towards positive focus.
After all life is 50/ 50.
A balance of both positive and negative.
The light and dark, happy and sad, exciting and boring, easy and frustrating.
There is always some good stuff going on
And some bad stuff going on.
Look hard enough and you will always find something to be annoyed, or irritated, or angry about.
