Positive mind-set

<p>A positive mind-set is one’s ability to maintain the belief that you can transform or change a tough situation into something better. “If you think you can or think you can’t, you will prove yourself right.” What does this mean to you. If you focus on the negative, you are more likely to experience a negative outcome. So if you believe that you can’t, then this is likely to be the case. If you focus on a positive outcome, the chances of this being achieved are significantly enhanced. So, if you think that you can, it is more likely that your mind will focus on achieving what you want. This is often referred to as a ‘self-fulfilling prophecy’. Very often the way we speak can cause a positive or negative mind-set: Negative examples: I can’t; I shouldn’t; I’m not good enough; I don’t have the energy; I’m hopeless; the situation is hopeless; they would never let us; I’m useless and no good at anything; what’s the point. Positive examples: I can; I will; it is possible; that interests me; I want to experience that; I want to learn a new skill; I want to have fun and enjoy myself; I like trying new things; anything is possible, let’s give it a try; you never know… A positive attitude starts from learning to believe in one’s self. In order to believe in ourselves, we must first understand our personal strengths. Think about:  Things you are thankful for…  What do other people compliment you on.  Something you would like other people to know about you is…  When do you feel really good about yourself.  What ability are you proud of.  Something nice you recently did for someone else was… The spies it seems were scared of failure and thus came back with a negative mind-set. Instead of being positive that they could conquer the land, their negativity meant they would not even try. Failure is a fact of life Failing is a part of life. In fact, it accounts for many, many successes – for without failing, success is almost impossible. Learning how to bounce back from failure is not always easy, but it is necessary. THE ROAD TO SUCCESS IS PAVED WITH FAILURE.</p> Signup and view all the answers
