Faced with inevitable negative events, one must question the usefulness of negativity. Prolonged dwelling on negative feelings serves little purpose beyond a brief period; instead, it’s crucial to pivot towards a positive mindset by asking how a situation might be the best thing that has ever happened. This mental shift empowers action rather than paralysis. Acknowledging that initial reactions to trauma may be emotional, it is vital to train oneself to seek constructive viewpoints. Focusing on negative aspects fosters a sense of inadequacy, while shifting focus to potential growth enables resilience and a sense of control over one's feelings and identity.
