How to Feel More Positive (Without Faking It) Experts recommend “emotional neutrality” as a way to maintain a positive mindset. One of the practices is to “cut the absolutes.” For instance, instead of saying, “I can’t do anything right,” say, “I bombed that presentation.” A second suggestion is to “prepare for the worst – but with a plan.” A worst-case plan reminds you that you have options, and helps you feel more in control. Another practice is called a “resilience resume.” It is helpful to remember what you have already overcome in your life. And finally, “celebrate the little wins” each day. Even a small thing like “your coffee was extra good” has a positive effect, and helps you notice “what’s quietly working in your favor.” “When we train our brains to notice what’s going right, even in chaos, it builds a more realistic foundation for a positive mindset.” READ FULL STORY Be The Change Try out one of the emotional neutrality practices today.
