Day 13 - Think about a situation in different ways |
Take a situation that you think about in a particular way and see how many different ways you can think about the situation by asking:- |
I've taken the situation of my current employment because that's the issue that is mostly dominating my attention at the moment. Right now I'm concerned about it for a number of different reasons:
I find answering these questions to be the biggest challenge. It's very difficult seeing a positive spin on the situation.

Day 13 - Think about a situation in different ways | ||
1 | How did you feel? | Slightly excited. It feels like the beginning of an adventure, and I haven't had one of those in a long while. |
2 | In what way did you find the challenge useful? Remember even if the challenge was negative this is an excellent learning for yourself. |
It is prompting me to take stock of the positive elements that exist in my work situation. In doing that it gives me a framework to move on, it also gives me an insight into the fact that, deep down, I find it as exciting as scary. |
3 | What insight did you gain? | I realise on a superficial level that everything is an opportunity, we've just got to be thinking in an open enough way in order to be able to take advantage of it. |
4 | What did you learn about yourself? | That I see this time as potentially an exciting and interesting one, but all my habitual ways of thinking are warning me to be afraid of the possible consequences as opposed to seeing them as something, which could be beneficial. Right now I'm not sure which bit of me is going to win. |
