Our brain is an extremely powerful machine to which we hold the controls. Having ‘control’ requires a keen self-awareness into our emotional energy and our behaviour and thought habits. It takes anywhere from 14 days to 8 weeks to ‘re-wire’ our brain for a higher skill level. We ‘re-wire’ by continuous reading, writing and reciting of information for creating new thought and behaviour habits. This re-wiring occurs via the neuroplasticity of your brain.
Research has proven that the ‘brain-power’ needed for productivity and efficiency today will only occur when we are in a state of positive emotional electro-magnetic neuro-chemical energy. This emotional energy also exists when we are working in higher-level brain function. It is the emotional state needed for productivity, efficiency, and wellness, and is the same emotional state that we are in when we are joyous and happy. That being said, the research also shows in fact, that the greatest risk to productivity, to work relationships, and to overall wellness in today’s workplace, is negative energy.
A keen self-awareness of yourself is a must when working to deflect the negative energy (and there’s lots of it) around you. You must know what your triggers are, and how to quickly adjust your mindset to block the negative and allow your personal positive to flow. This can be easier said than done, but with the skill of Positive Presence you will learn how to easily adjust your thinking to thwart that negative and replace it with something that serves you well. You will become adept at recognizing when the thoughts and feelings in you and around you are not serving you to your greatest good.
It is important to keep in mind that life is a series of daily ups and downs. Recognize and acknowledge the negativity, never take it personal, and let it pass right through your consciousness. Concentrate on today, right this moment. Do not carry around things that happened yesterday or a week ago. Let go and move on and forgive yourself of any wrong doings of the past.
Acquiring the skill of Positive Presence is a slow and gentle process that begins with awareness. The more time we spend in the positive, the greater our capacity for achieving peak performance, for building and maintaining good relationships, and for experiencing good health.
