Is Negativity Dragging You Down?

Are you allowing negativity to drag you down? It may be because some of your human needs are not being met. We all have needs for security, for certainty, for variety, for connection and love, for significance – having the affirmation that one’s life is valuable and important, for growth, and a need to make a contribution to the world – to help and support others.

It is important to find strategies for meeting all of your human needs. By meeting your needs you can enable yourself to feel strong and confident, and you can find strategies for meeting those needs more effectively and with more success. Sometimes the role of a coach is to act as a guide, to help you create more effective ways of meeting your needs, and becoming stronger.

Many of us who live in cold winter climes have felt rather trapped during the cold winter months. I for one have felt cooped up in my house, longing for a way to relieve the doldrums of the short, brittle, cold winter days. So we welcome the beginning of springtime, when doors and windows can remain open during the day; when taking a day trip to a local park, or to go shopping, don’t seem quite as onerous. It is a reminder that this kind of suffering, like most suffering, comes to an end eventually, and we breathe a collective, deep sigh of relief when the cool breezes of late March tell us that even warmer and more comfortable, more beautiful days are on the visible horizon. A positive mindset is actually within reach!
