How often do you say, “Yes!”???

That’s the job of the “positive/projective mind.” Its job is to look for opportunities and calculate what’s going right. For example, it says, “Yes!” to that new project at work because of the potential for promotion and self-esteem boost.

Sometimes it can be overpowered by our “negative/protective mind” whose job it is to protect us. For example, it would say, “No!” to the new project because we might fail or look foolish.

And if we’re not careful, the “positive mind” can simply reinforce the “negative mind.” For example, “Yes, you probably aren’t qualified for this new opportunity at work and yes, it’s likely to fail because remember that similar project 10 years ago that failed?”

When we see these tendencies and different roles of our mind…then they don’t have power over our decision making. We can see them for what they are, and make the best decision in the moment.

This week in class we’re focusing on the “3rd Body,” the “positive/projective mind” and how to maximize its assets while minimizing its liabilities.
