THRIVE! Positive thinking for parenting and yourself | ¡PROSPERE! Pensamientos positivos para la crianza de niños y uno mismo
Virtual EventPositive thinking for parenting and yourself. When faced with difficult situations or circumstances do you automatically begin to think negatively, or do you try and look for the positive in every situation? If your initial reaction in life tends to fall toward the side of negativity, you can thank your “negative bias” – an ancient survival mechanism we are all hardwired with. This mechanism causes us to naturally navigate towards the negative and focus on things that could go wrong in order to “protect our tribe.” Although this way of thinking may have allowed us to survive in the days of old, it does little for us in this new age. A negative bias helped us to survive, but positive thinking is how we thrive. As parents, we have all the reason in the world to adopt a habit of positive thinking. The words we use and the thoughts we think around our children have a profound power to alter their every mood, attitude, and state of mind, along with our own.
Pensamientos positivos para la crianza de niños y uno mismo.Cuando te enfrentas a situaciones o circunstancias difíciles, ¿empiezas automáticamente a pensar en negativo o intentas buscar lo positivo en cada situación? Si su reacción inicial en la vida tiende a caer del lado de la negatividad, puede agradecérselo a su "sesgo negativo", un antiguo mecanismo de supervivencia con el que todos estamos programados. Este mecanismo nos hace navegar de forma natural hacia lo negativo y centrarnos en las cosas que podrían ir mal para "proteger a nuestra tribu". Aunque esta forma de pensar puede habernos permitido sobrevivir en tiempos pasados, nos sirve de poco en esta nueva era. Un sesgo negativo nos ayudó a sobrevivir, pero con el pensamiento positivo es como prosperamos. Como padres, tenemos todas las razones del mundo para adoptar un hábito de pensamiento positivo. Las palabras que utilizamos y los pensamientos que tenemos en torno a nuestros hijos tienen un profundo poder para alterar todos sus estados de ánimo, actitudes y estados mentales, junto con los nuestros.
