The Word is SHIFT
Definition: Merriam-Webster Dictionary: to change place or position
The more I learn about the human brain, the more fascinated I become. In my training as a Certified Mental Fitness/PQ Coach, I have learned how we can build up the positive right side of our brain (where love resides) and decrease the impact of negativity present in the left side of our brain (where fear resides).
My Story on Shift
Life isn’t always easy, fair, or within our control. If you’ve ever found yourself overwhelmed by these thoughts, you’re not alone. They are some of the most common negative thoughts that can fill our minds, and left unchecked, they can shape our outlook on life in a way that keeps us stuck in negativity.
But what if I told you there’s a simple yet powerful practice that can help you shift your perspective and unlock a more positive mindset? I call it “positive shifting,” and it has the potential to change your life, just as it changed mine.
I’ve had my share of challenges over the years. But over time, I discovered a way to shift my thinking, to move from a place of negativity to one of positivity. And today, I want to share that practice with you.
The Practice of Positive Shifting
So how do we make this shift? How do we train our minds to move from the negative to the positive?
It can start with a simple question: “What’s one good thing that happened today?” By asking ourselves this question regularly, we begin to shift our focus from what’s wrong to what’s right. We start to build new pathways in our brain, pathways that lead us to joy, love, and compassion.
It’s important to understand that this isn’t about ignoring the difficulties in life. It’s about acknowledging them, but not letting them define us. It’s about finding the balance between the negative and the positive and choosing to focus on the latter.
Why It Works
The practice of positive shifting works because it taps into the power of our minds. Our brains are incredibly adaptable, and capable of forming new connections and pathways. By consistently shifting our thoughts to the positive, we can rewire our brains to respond to life’s challenges in a healthier, more constructive way.
Over time, this shift becomes a habit, and we find ourselves more resilient, more hopeful, and more at peace. And the best part? It’s something we can do every day, in any situation. It’s a tool we carry with us, ready to use whenever we need it.
A Simple Challenge
I want to leave you with a challenge: The next time you find yourself thinking, “Life isn’t fair,” or “Life is hard,” or “There are things in life I can’t control,” try to shift your perspective. Find one example that challenges that thought, one moment of fairness, ease, or control. And hold on to it.
And if you’re feeling bold, try spreading this positivity to others. Smile at a stranger, compliment a friend, or simply say hello to someone you don’t know. You might be surprised at how contagious positivity can be.
Positive shifting has made an enormous difference in my life, and I believe it can do the same for you. It’s a practice, a lifestyle, and it’s available to all of us, right here, right now.
