How To Get Rid Of Negative Thinking

March 11th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Self Improvement

I grew up in a family that wore their negativity like a proud shield. I remember my beloved grandmother and her friends almost boosting about how bad life was as if it was a contest, who had the most aches and pains or the worst finances or problems with their children. They didn’t realize they were negative and they certainly didn’t realize the effect this negativity had on their life. This is the way it was and it was handed down from generation to generation. My older sister and I would sit in church every Sunday making fun of people (we may have looked angelic, but we weren’t!). For us it was a good time to poke fun at the ladies beehives and people’s outfits until my parents separated us in the pew. What we didn’t realize is that we were honing our critical skills, and negative thoughts. Then there are the people that make conversation by criticizing (we all know some). You could give them a million dollars and they’d still find something to complain about. They look at everything with a “what can I find wrong with this situation” attitude. They truly don’t know how to be happy, so they do everything they can to stay in the comfortable place they know so well, being unhappy.

Why team building is an opportunity

More than during any other period in history, today is a time when the joint efforts of people are necessary to make a better world for ourselves and our children. What better place to target for improvement than the workplace as many people employed in businesses feel disconnected from their environment and fellow workers.

I have asked employees about their attitudes to their work and received responses including:

“The business culture at my work place is that you do as you are told.”
