Do What Work for You… It’s That Simple
Summary
- Focus on what's helpful for you; if thinking you're lucky motivates you, then stick with that approach.
- Balance is important; thinking too positively can make you complacent, while too negatively can freeze you or make you overcompensate.
- Use both positive and negative perspectives as tools, and know when each is beneficial for your progress.

How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing a balance between positive and negative thinking. Here's how to do it:
-
First, notice what motivates you. If you feel like saying "I'm lucky" gets you moving, keep using that phrase. It's like a little boost for your brain.
-
Remember not to get too carried away with positive thoughts. It's great to be happy, but if you only think about the good stuff, you might forget to work hard. You don't want to just sit back and expect everything to go well.
-
Also, don't let negative thoughts take over. It's not fun to be scared or to think everything will go wrong. If you feel stuck or you're working too much to fix things that aren't really broken, take a step back.
-
Use your thoughts like tools from a toolbox. Sometimes you need a screwdriver (positive thinking) and sometimes you need a hammer (negative thinking). Think about what you need to do and pick the right tool for the job.
-
If something's tricky or you're not sure what to think, ask yourself: Will thinking this way help me get better? If the answer is yes, then it's the right kind of thought.
-
Make these ideas a habit. Each day, maybe in the morning, think of one reason you're lucky (positive thought) and one thing you want to be careful about (negative thought). This can help you find a good balance.
By doing these things, you can use both the sunny and not-so-sunny thoughts to help you grow and succeed, without needing much money or time. Just a little effort each day can go a long way!
