Do you find yourself wondering how to get started in new, unknown territory at work or in personal situations? Here’s an energizing perspective to shift your thinking toward what you want to bring forth in this new season of your life.
"When I don't know how to take a next biz step...I revert to my safety of what I'm good at," a colleague, whom I greatly respect, recently lamented. She had just attended a conference where she had been exposed to lots of new marketing information. We sure are good at making things difficult for ourselves by staying in a place of what is known and comfortable. Sound familiar?<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Brain science has proven that the instinctual areas of our brain automatically go to work when we sense danger and the unknown. When we’re faced with physical danger, this autonomic brain function helps us take action and survive. However, when we are in other new, unknown territory at work or in social situations, this survival mechanism can freeze us from moving forward toward situations that may create more joy and meaning in our lives. Listening to my colleague talk, I heard her making a judgment that she “should” be doing something differently. Positive psychology research calls this a “negative motivator,” which will make taking successful action very difficult. By contrast, our lives become more meaningful when we have “positive motivators” in our daily routine.<o:p></o:p>

Here’s an exericise to get your motivation moving in a positive direction ::::: >>>
