Ever wondered how a simple shift in mindset can transform your journey with PTSD recovery? In this engaging episode of The Overcoming PTSD Podcast, hosts Brad Schipke and Kayleen Wright tackle the powerful concept of 'positive vs negative inputs' in their Mindset Bootcamp series. With their unique blend of personal experiences and expert advice, they explore why our brains naturally gravitate towards negativity and how you can retrain this bias to foster an automatic positive mindset.
Brad and Kayleen share relatable anecdotes, like Brad's rainy-day run, where he transformed a dreary experience into a motivational Rocky-style montage. They emphasise that life is largely about perspective and that while our brains are hardwired to focus on the negative, we have the power to choose positivity. By consciously shifting our thoughts from negative to positive, we can change our mindset over time.
This isn't about ignoring the reality of painful experiences but about learning to see the positive aspects even in challenging situations. The hosts encourage listeners to develop an "automatic positive mind," which doesn't ignore reality but helps one find a positive angle in every situation. They also discuss the concept of toxic positivity, clarifying that finding a positive perspective doesn't mean ignoring real pain or challenges.
Instead, it's about recognising that while negativity is often more potent, there's always a positive side to any situation if you choose to look for it. Are you ready to transform your mindset and embrace positivity as a way of life?
