Adopting a positive mindset transformed my life, career, and health. By controlling thoughts and feelings, I improved actions and results.
You know how some people see the glass as half-full and others see it as half-empty? This is called our mindset, and it affects our whole life.
Everything changed for me when I learned to see the glass as half-full. Why? Because I felt happier and more motivated at work, instead of stressed, which also made me healthier.
It also helped my relationships at work. I was more supportive, got more done, and made better decisions.
How did I change from complaining to appreciating my career and life? Well, I learned about the Model. This one thing helped me change my career faster than anything else. Here it is, in a nutshell:
1. There are things I can’t control – these are called circumstances.
2. There are things I can control: my thoughts, feelings, actions, and results.
3. My thoughts create my feelings. If I feel stressed at work, it’s because I’m thinking stressful thoughts. If I feel relaxed, it’s because I’m thinking relaxing thoughts.
4. My feelings drive my actions. When I feel stressed, I eat chocolate instead of working. When I feel relaxed, I work better.
5. My actions create my results. If I eat chocolate, I don’t get as much work done. If I stay relaxed, I do better work.
