Harnessing the Power of Positive Thinking
Research suggests that the average human being has somewhere between 35,000 and 50,000 thoughts each day. Every time one of these thoughts takes place, chemicals are produced in the brain that can trigger reactions felt throughout the body. As such, there is a strong correlation between what we think and how we feel, both physically and emotionally. At another level, our thoughts and related self-talk particularly during times of change, define how we see the world around us and ultimately influence our behavior. Not surprisingly, our mind-set has a significant impact on the choices we make relative to our attitude and related happiness. When we choose a positive mind-set, our performance and overall capacity to be successful on nearly every level improves. In this highly interactive workshop, participants explore a wide range of proven techniques for being able to harness the power of positive thinking both in and out of work. Additionally, the program provides a meaningful framework for self-reflection and exploration.
