Career & Life Coaching | Winter Mindset

Published on by Allison FisherLeave a comment

I’ve just got back from a couple of weeks in the warm climes of the US.  As I stepped out of the airport the cold really hit and the next day there was lots of rain and wind.  I found myself moaning about the change of weather and that winter has arrived.  (Life Coaches aren’t positive all the time thank goodness!! 🙂 )  Then I thought well winter will be here for a few months yet so is there another way to look at this?  I know that the weather is one thing I cannot change and have absolutely no control over. But  I can control what I think about it.   I then began to think about all the things I do like about winter and here is my list  so far –

  • Hot soupAllison Fisher Career & Life Coach
  • Slow cookers
  • Open fires
  • Chocolate and berry crumble dessert
  • Cuddling up on the couch with a person or a blanky!
  • Cold clear but sunny days
  • The wild excitement of wind and rain

So I’ve now put out the intention to make the best of what is this winter.

How positive are you to others?

Did you know that teenagers need 8 positive to 1 negative interactions in a day?

Adults need a 4 to 1 ratio of positive to negative interactions.

That’s quite a lot isn’t it.  Teenagers need positivity to build their self-esteem and sense of self and resilience.  I guess this would be the same for younger children as well.  We are talking about genuine positive feedback not saying things because we should to make people feel ok.   Imagine if teenagers don’t get this positive feedback.  They will become pessimistic, lack confidence and have no resilience.  To build an accurate self-image then teens need lots of positivity in their lives.  It’s a bit daunting isn’t it.   But you know maybe just start one day at a time.  Consider your own level of positive feedback and decide today to do it more and then more and then more again!
