Cultivating the Positivity Habit
Manage episode 384747612 series 3494958
Research shows that 80% of our thoughts are negative. Are you surprised by that percentage? That means that for the majority of our waking hours, we’re bombarded with negative thoughts, either about ourselves, work, or personal lives.
So, what happens when you’re surrounded with negativity? Very often you wallow in it, much like the beloved Eeyore character from Winnie the Pooh. What we think reflects how we’re feeling, which shows outwardly in our behavior. And, as we discussed in the recent episode, Complaining is a Garbage Magnet, negative behavior can bring others down with us.
Can we change our negative thinking? Yes! That’s the beauty of our brains. WE are in control of switching those neural pathways but that is no easy task. It takes time and consistency to switch our way of thinking but YOU are fully capable of making this change.
