Let me ask you a question: Do you tend to focus on the worst-case scenario?
Do you worry about failures or setbacks that haven’t even happened yet?
If you do, I get it - know that you are not alone!
Have you ever heard of Murphy’s Law? 🤪
As humans, our brains are wired to respond to negative information more than the positive. This is evolutionary.
Thousands of years ago, our ancestors were in pure survival mode, and learned that staying alert to threats like lions, tigers and bears, played a useful role in living to see another day.
What you focus on grows
Fortunately, unless you’re in an episode of Survivor, this hardwiring is not as useful as it once was. In fact, modern science tells us that what we focus on grows. So if we’re constantly tuned in to the worst-case scenario, then we’re more likely to attract a negative outcome over a positive.
Best Case Scenario Journaling
Enter a powerful, science-backed practice that can help shift your mindset and transform your life, in less than five minutes a day!
Best Case Scenario Journaling is a simple, yet impactful practice that involves envisioning and writing about the best possible outcomes. Rather than focusing on all that could go wrong, this journaling encourages you to explore the realm of possibility and dream big rather than getting stuck in fear and uncertainty.
Worry is praying for something you don’t want to happen
By consistently engaging your brain in the opposite of worry, you train your mind to seek opportunities and solutions that may have previously gone undiscovered.
The power of visualization
Best Case Scenario Journaling goes beyond mere positive thinking; it incorporates the power of visualization. As you imagine and write about your best-case scenarios, you vividly imagine the details and emotions associated with your desired outcomes. It fuels your creativity and helps you find possibilities you may never have dreamed of.. In the words of Tony Robbins, “Where focus goes, energy flows…”
And in turn, what you focus on grows!
