How to Turn a Negative Action in Your Life Into a Positive One
Wouldn’t it be cool to change your emotional state, in a matter of seconds!?
From pissed off, to determined.
From laziness, to creative.
How do I control change in my life?
A Question Opens the mind, a statement closes the mind…
In the book “The Art of Thinking Clearly”, Rolf Dobelli talks about the importance of having a good mindset and emotional intelligence to make better decisions. The author explains how bad decisions can be turned around by using different techniques like flipping the problem, reframing it, and using motivation to get you through.
The first technique is called "flip the problem". This technique involves looking at a situation from a different perspective in order to have a clearer view of what needs to be done. The other technique is called "reframing". This technique involves re-framing the problem so that it becomes less daunting. The third technique is called "motivation". This technique involves thinking about what you want in order to motivate yourself for taking action.
What Questions do I need to ask myself?
Why am I reacting this way?
What is reacting within me?
What indicators or stressors were present?
How long have I been reacting this way?
Do I really have self control?
Is it them or me?
How I started & How I stay consistent
No matter what your past actions have been, there is always an opportunity to make a positive change in the future. The only thing you need is motivation and a plan.
These plans might include:
- Finding a new hobby
- Volunteering at a local charity
- Observing your behavior and how it affects others
- Organizing your thoughts more effectively so that you can work on them more efficiently
If you’re tired of starting over, then stop quitting on yourself
We all have bad habits that we would like to change. But how do we make these changes when we are faced with the same situations over and over again?
This is where turning a negative action into a positive one can help. It’s not always easy, but it’s possible.
One of the best ways to turn a negative action into a positive one is to take responsibility for your actions. Being accountable for your actions will help you find solutions instead of dwelling on the problem.
If you have had a negative experience in your life, you can turn it into a positive by looking for the lessons that you have learned from it. This will make your future brighter and more hopeful.
