<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.75pt; text-align: justify;">I came across this great article the
other day by Kristi Hedges and thought you would find it helpful.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: -.05pt; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">

Like any good satire, it’s funny, yet
truthful enough to make it uncomfortable to watch. In the movie, the lead
character discontentedly works for a poorly managed technology company. After a
botched hypnosis, he drops the corporate veneer and becomes brutally honest,
totally authentic, and winds up being fast tracked for promotion because of it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: -.05pt; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: 14.25pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: -.05pt; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">First, how many
people would love to have the freedom to just say what they really think at the
office?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: 14.25pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: -.05pt; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">And what is it about
human nature – from job interviewing to dating – that when we play it loose and
don’t try too hard, that we end up being more desirable?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: 14.25pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: -.05pt; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I was reminded of this recently when a colleague was courted for her
dream job. After an initial rush of anxiousness, she decided she was already in
a good place and thus happy whether she got the job or not. From that point on,
the recruiter pursued her even harder.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: 14.25pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: -.05pt; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Now, I’m certainly not suggesting that we check out at work or stop
giving our best. However, there is an interesting lesson here about detaching
from the outcome. When we want something so much, we hold tight to it, and that
limits our range of motion. On the other hand, when we can let go of a
particular outcome, it can free us up to be open and to create even more
opportunity for ourselves. We show up differently, with more confidence and
agility.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: 14.25pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: -.05pt; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I know this lesson well, and I still have to relearn it. The more
attached I am to a particular outcome, the more control I try to apply. And
that puts me squarely in my own way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: 14.25pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: -.05pt; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Here’s the thing: we usually can’t control the outcome anyway – it’s
simply an illusion. All we can control is our reaction to the outcome. This
doesn’t mean that we don’t try our best, only that once we have done all we
can, we accept that the cards will play out as they will.  Berating
ourselves after the fact is simply punishment. We’re far better off deciding
what we’ll learn from the experience.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Whether the situation is making a sale,
angling for promotion, earning the approval of another person, or yes, even
dating; here are the reminders to consider to loosen your attachment to an
outcome.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; padding: 0cm;">Consider that detaching from the
outcome isn’t the same as lack of caring<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Intentional detachment means
recognizing that, although you might want a certain outcome, you know that it’s
not completely in your hands. Detaching doesn’t mean you don’t care or that
you’re lazy. It’s another approach to the same situation. Consider when we try
to make a sale. We can do our best to make the customer see our virtues, but
there are a myriad of factors that go into buying decisions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">It’s not easy for most of us to make that mental shift because we
associate control, stress or effort with desire.  My favorite: coming to a
situation with an empty cup ready to be filled rather than one filled with
expectations. When our cup is already filled to the brim with our own
attachments, there’s no room to add learning.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: -.05pt; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; padding: 0cm;">Challenge yourself to see any outcome
as an opportunity that you can take advantage of, even if it’s just for
learning.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: 14.25pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">As we reach higher levels of success it becomes
harder to have a learner’s mind. We have a whole history of doing well that
validates our own perceptions of a situation. This creates a script of how we
think a situation should go, and leaves little room for open mindedness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">If you reframe your thinking that every
opportunity teaches us something, then we can be open to multiple outcomes. We
talk a lot in business </span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">about <span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; padding: 0cm;">risk and positive failures</span>. <span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; padding: 0cm;">We can only take risks if we’re willing to learn on the other side
of them. We have to create the space we grow into.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<b><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; padding: 0cm;">Allow yourself some time for
disappointment, but put your energy into the next thing.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Detaching from the outcome doesn’t mean that we take a Pollyanna
approach to any situation. We do care greatly, and that passion shouldn’t be
ignored. After all, it fuels our success.<br />
<br />
We need to build in reflection time for wins and failures. It’s natural to feel
disappointment if we get passed over for a promotion or don’t get a coveted
job. Then make the choice to not linger too long in this place. Move
towards thinking about what you’re going to do now – to develop, change, try
again, grow, pause, or set the next goal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">Do you know what highly happy and successful people think about all day long? Well, the answer is not farfetched – happy, healthy and successful people think about what they want and how to get it most of the time. The power of positive thinking and growing a positive attitude are two of the most significant qualities a person can acquire in order to change their life.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">The Meaning of Optimism<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">Optimism or positivity comes from the Latin word, “Optimus”, which means “Best”, and describes how an optimistic person is continuously looking for the best in any circumstance and anticipating good things to happen. Optimism is the propensity to believe, anticipate or hope that things will end up well. Even though something bad occurs, such as hearing from your doctor that you have cancer or losing a job, an optimistic person sees the positive aspect or the silver lining – they see it as a good thing. Getting dismissed from your job can be the catalyst that will let you finally start your own business. As you pack your personal belongings out of your office table, your mind should be spinning with the possibilities that lie ahead, not the difficulties – without this positive attitude, you might never be able to make the leap to self-employment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">Optimism has a positive impact on mental health according to studies by the emerging field of positive psychology. Optimism has also been shown to be good on physical health and optimists are reported to live longer and fall sick less often than pessimists. They have fewer heart diseases and their bodies handle stress more effectively. As it seems, a positive attitude on life fortifies the immune system and the body’s resistance against illness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">Happiness through Positive Self-Talk<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">Being optimistic or pessimistic comes down to the way you talk to yourself. An optimist believes that their own deeds result in positive things occurring. Optimists believe that they are responsible for their own luck or happiness, and that they can expect more good things to happen in the future. An optimistic people do not blame themselves whenever something bad happens – they see bad occurrences as results of something that are not from within them. Don’t blame yourself for losing your job; rather see it as a business decision that has nothing to do with you as a person.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">A pessimistic person however thinks in a contrary manner. They blame themselves for the bad things that occur in their lives and somehow belief that one mistake or bad occurrence signifies that more of that are on their way to them. Pessimists view positive events as strokes of lucks that they have no control over – a luck streak that most likely will not repeat itself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">What Positive Thoughts Do to Your Brain<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">Positive emotions have been found to expand one’s sense of possibilities and open up your mind to more choices. When you experience positive emotions such as contentment, love and happiness, you’ll see more possibilities in your life, and this is just the beginning of exciting things happening in your life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The first step is committing to 20-30 minutes of quiet Reflection everyday. You don’t have to sit still, close your eyes, and meditate. But you do have to get away from all the distractions in your life such as the television, cell phones, email, radio, family, friends, coworkers, school mates, etc. They’re constantly clouding your thoughts and influencing your decisions.</div>

<span style="font-family: KarlaRegular, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">So take a walk, ride a bike, turn the radio off while commuting to work, sit on your back porch, lie in the grass, go to bed a little early. Whatever works for you.</span></div>

Now, open up your mind and just Think, Analyze, Consider, Ponder, Contemplate, Imagine, Visualize, and Dream. Think about your past, your present, and your future. Ask yourself questions like…What am I capable of? What are my strengths? Where do I want to be in 5 years, 10 years, 100 years? And so on…</div>
<div style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s ease; border: 0px; font-family: KarlaRegular, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.625em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; transition: all 0.2s ease; vertical-align: baseline;">
During this time of Reflection you will come across great Realizations and Epiphanies. You will experience a new level of Understanding, Insight, Consciousness, and Awareness. The goal of this entire process is to capture these thoughts and preserve them on your LetsReflect profile. Compile your list and read it over and over again. It will always be there to keep you on track and heading in the right direction.</div>
