The findings coming from the neurosciences is proving that the ‘brain-power’ needed for productivity and efficiency in today’s work environment can only be attained when you are in a state of positive emotional electro-magnetic neuro-chemical energy. This state requires (and/or depends on) your ability to create a flow of positive thoughts and feelings amid the chaos, the change, and the ambiguity of today’s work environment.
Your behaviour it turns out, is one of the key informants to identifying what and how you are thinking and feeling. Behaviour it turns out is, for the most part, the physical manifestation of your human energy flow.
Neuroscientists, looking at cognitive functioning and behaviour at the individual level have suggested, simply put:
- We can assess our personal energy flow through our feelings.
- Feelings such as happiness and optimism can be linked to a positive energy flow, and feelings such as anger and frustration can be linked to a negative energy flow
- We can control our feelings with our thoughts.
- It is through our thought process that we choose how to behave.
- And the bottom line is …. the measurable result of a person’s energy flow is reflected by one’s choice of behaviour.
So here are just a few of those behaviours that will be present when you are in a positive energy state:
- Consistently constructive action that betters everyone’s work-life
- Easily set priorities and stick to task
- Compassionate and empathetic
- Consistently calm, rational, generous, and loving
- Self-controlled
- A strong agent for change
- A collaborative worker.
- High Emotional intelligence
The skill of Positive Presence is your innate ability to adjust for and create a positive and energized mindset through conscience thought processes – you are in essence ‘re-wiring’ your Brain. Learning the skill of Positive Presence and the self-awareness that comes with it, allows you consciously create the kind of thought-habits that lead the behaviours of performance excellence.
