Most people have positivity backwards.
They think it's about:
• Feeling good all the time
• Avoiding negative thoughts
• Pretending everything's fine
• Posting inspirational quotes
(I learned this lesson the hard way.)
But science - courtesy of Benjamin B. Bargetzi - proves it's actually about:
• Rewiring your brain's neural pathways
• Building mental resilience
• Enhancing cognitive performance
• Regulating emotional responses
And here's the thing...
Your brain doesn't know the difference between:
• What you think
• What you experience
• What you believe
• What you achieve
The stoic truth:
• Control what you can
• Accept what you can't
• Focus on inner growth
• Learn from adversity
This transforms into:
• Better decision-making
• Increased creativity
• Stronger leadership
• Expanded skillsets
• Enhanced confidence
• Improved problem-solving
Feed your brain well.
Let it shape you.
Watch it grow.
Dare to stay positive.
I still struggle with this daily.
But each small win rewires my brain.
