Why Is It Difficult To Be Positive
Our brain is a material thing. It believes what it sees and touches through our senses. So, it becomes difficult to turn it around to optimism when the situation is actually not very good.
On evolutionary grounds, our brain developed defense mechanisms. It primarily defends you.
Consequently, it constantly scans for possible threats and problems, even though they might not actually exist. And sometimes it overemphasizes a situation, which makes you completely vulnerable to negativity.
Our brain loves drama, and drama is negativity.
No Thought
- Let there be no thought in your mind that the worst will happen. Avoid entertaining the concept of the worst because whatever you take into your mind can grow there.
- Know what you want and be specifically positive about it.
- Put all your consciousness towards something that you desire and throw all there is of yourself into your job or your goal.
