We all have 5 stages of defense mechanisms to changes. They are famously laid out as DABDA or Kubler-Ross Change Curve.
What is DABDA? – Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance
Change is hard for nearly everyone, so embrace it and know it’s all part of your growth. Give yourself grace to move through Kubler-Ross Change Curve.
In this pandemic situation, staying positive when everything around you seems wrong is not easy. As humans, we are wired to focus on problems aka problem centric thought (PCT). Thoughts make-the man, but negative thoughts limit our potential and increase stress. How do we overcome?
Skip past the problem and move right toward on the solution with a Relentless Solution Focus mindset (RSF). The way to do this is, Quickly identify a problem and focus right on what needs to be done to improve. The goal always is to have an attack mentally to improve, this RSF would make us mentally tough. The brain immediately recognizes this thought pattern and releases happy chemicals dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrinine as a reward.
Bring out your Attack mentality and always seek out a way to improve, even if its just one small thing.
