You may have heard of the power of positive thinking, but maybe are not convinced enough to try it for yourself. I will explain here the 'mechanics' of positive thinking and how it affects emotions, and in turn behaviours, because for those of us work at home mums with an analytical mind, it sometimes helps to understand a process first before we believe in its power and apply related strategies effectively!
An important part of our brain to discuss here is the limbic system, which guides our mood and emotions, but also plays an important role in our attention and motivation. The limbic system, also referred to as our 'emotional brain' is responsible for our drives, and the stronger we feel about reaching for or avoiding something, the stronger our drive will be. While our feelings and emotions come from the limbic system, the neocortex controls our verbal ability, judgment, planning, and creative thinking. These is constant communication between the emotional brain and the neocortex, and together they shape our beliefs and behaviours. I've recently heard the limbic system being referred to as a 2 year old child. This analogy was made because the limbic system, just like a young child, has poor judgement between right and wrong, doesn't distinguish between good and bad thoughts, and acts upon any information it receives as being true and real. Here is where it become interesting. Behaviours are caused or influenced by emotions. These emotions are generated by your limbic system, who is acting spontaneously like a 2-year old and making very limited judgment on the information it receives! Many work at home mums reading this might already have ideas on how to use this to their advantage! Put simply, you can manipulate the information you send to your limbic system for it to generate the productive emotions you need to achieve your goals.
