Tomorrow, I might still be grateful for my health, but I might specifically be grateful that I have enough energy for a long run. This helps me stay focused on the here and now, rather than overthinking on general abstractions. Instead of writing in my journal every day that 'I am grateful for my health,' I'll write something like, 'I am grateful that I woke up today without any back pain and have the ability to do today's workout.'

So, I like to practice something that I call 'specific gratitude.' For me, it can start to feel like a meaningless chore instead of a mindful practice. It can help us contextualize our frustrations against what we love and help us connect to something larger than ourselves - whether that's other people, animals, nature or a higher power.īut I find that repeating the same gratitude practice over and over again can become rote and diminish the returns. In psychology, we know that expressing gratitude can increase our happiness. Write down your thoughts once, then distract yourself for 24 hours The key is to take a step back and deal with things one at a time. You could start small by examining what important tasks needs to get done first, then either delay or delegate the rest until you are feeling less anxious. This thought pattern gives you the power to change your situation. I wonder if I can change anything about this situation or my expectations about it.' To practice positive reframing, replace the thought above with: 'Things are challenging right now and I'm feeling disconnected from some things on my plate. And you'll likely continue to dwell on how much you hate your job or how bad you think you are at managing. Venting might feel good for a second, but it doesn't solve anything. It's emotionally and mentally exhausting. On top of all these deadlines and responsibilities, it's hard to manage so many complex personalities. You constantly find yourself complaining: 'I hate being a boss. Perhaps there are benefits or things you can change about it. Positive reframing, on the other hand, allows you to acknowledge the negative aspects, then asks you to evaluate whether there's another way to think about the situation. Your mind must be able to wonder off, off the beaden track, and with that comes a lack of connection to the 'real world'.This is often confused with 'toxic positivity,' which asks people to think positively - no matter how difficult a situation is. Often, increased frequency (number of training sessions a week) can help lifters burn more calories, keep metabolism high, and enhance recovery from said training sessions. I guess it is the side effect of being extremely briliant and inovative (in his case). When cutting weight, it’s important that you use strength training sessions to preserve muscle mass. I had a professor ones, who i think was INTP and he would forget his own head if it wasn't fixed. And you are right, it happens a lot with researchers and professors. If I think about it in MBTI terms, can it have something to do with the P over J preference? That is how I feel it. I have had some discussions with people who clame that I said something extreme ridicule while I believe I said what i wanted to say. When I'm tired it even occures that I think one thing and say something completely different. When I'm in that mode, my collegue says I have the memory of an elephant but it is mainely because I write everything down. It goes better when I'm in my focussed TeSi mode. Afterwards I don't know what I wanted to say. I have also a hard time to remember what I was going to say when someone interupts me with a story of there own. If there are to many things I have to think of, I make a list, and just the act of writing it down helps me to remember it later. I always have the feeling that I have forgotten something, something important that I have to take care off.
