Focus On The Negative - October 18, 2010
with Steve Huskey and Holly Kraus
Focus on the negative? Isn't that a strange position for a couple of avid proponents of positivity and the teachings of positive psychology to take? It may seem so, but consider this. Research shows that there is a ratio of positive to negative experiences that leads to a "tipping point" of positive emotions that can literally change your life. That tipping point ratio has been proven through experimentation to be 3 to 1, or 3 positive experiences or positive emotions for every negative experience or emotion. (The average in America is 2 : 1.) Now, to reach the magic number of 3 to 1, where positive changes start to take hold and help improve your life, you can increase the positive experiences or . . . you can decrease the negative experiences. In October's meet up, Holly Kraus and Steven Huskey ask you to focus on the negative and consider ways in which you can minimize negative experiences and emotions.
