Its something Yoda could have said “Eeyore Don’t Be”
There is the power of positive thinking and also the power of not thinking negatively.
The lifehack.org blog gives the low down on how to avoid the Eeyore syndrome.
Some other ideas to consider are:
– not to worry about potential problems unless you have some evidence that they have some probability of occurring
(emphasize moving towards the good life instead of becoming preoccupied with real or imagined fears)
– watch out for the language of negativity
– focus on the circle of influence rather than the circle of concern (as Covey would express it).
– live in the moment to enjoy your blessings
– Pay attention to the difference your decisions are making; measure results
– Experiment and learn new things
– Expect and look for the best in yourself and other people
– Deal with reality and recognize the need for frequent course corrections to manage issues
