As you create these visions in your mind's eye, you will be conditioning yourself in a way that - in reality - will lead to many positive accomplishments!" - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

[Quote No.55329] Need Area: Fun > Anticipation
"One way to further develop hope and optimism about the future, after all practical methods to prepare for it have been taken, is to remind yourself that humans are born with an previously evolutionarily useful negativity bias - that thought it better to be frightened by thinking a log was a lion than to mistake a lion for a log - and so it is rationally helpful to generate a counteracting positivity bias against that negativity using the concept that the negative FEAR stands for False Evidence Appearing Real." - Seymour@imagi-natives.com

[Quote No.55337] Need Area: Fun > Anticipation
"Given the negativity bias of the brain, which evolved in the distant past when our survival depended more on being 'safe rather than sorry' and therefore jumping before asking questions, it is natural for us to picture the worst about the future. The unfortunate thing about this is after you have done all you can to prepare for the future this kind of negative idea-image focusing - for example worrying in competitions - actually impairs your performance. Knowing this therefore it is useful, in these situations, to not focus on what you don't want to happen but instead to focus on what good, positive things you want to happen, which - by decreasing your debilitating fear - increases their likelihood, making a positive self-fulfilling prophecy!!" - Seymour@imagi-natives.com

[Quote No.55362] Need Area: Fun > Anticipation
"[Realism in planning then optimism in execution:] You have to be very calculating in selecting the right shot. You have to make a decision based upon a realistic assessment of your own weaknesses and the scope for failure. But once you have committed to your decision, you have to flick the mental switch [to focus only on the positive outcome] and execute the shot as if there was never any doubt that you would nail it." - Nick Faldo

[Quote No.55458] Need Area: Fun > Anticipation
"In many situations in life the future can 'look' terrible and fearful. At these times in the past, faith in religion and a benevolent god, and adherence to its prescribed behaviour that demonstrated belief and therefore justified 'salvation' was helpful as it made it possible for people to 'imagine' a positive future and to go on doing what was necessary to survive. In a technological present where faith is less common, Buddhist present focus - 'be here now' - has been found to relieve anxiety about imagined negative futures. Another helpful thing that science has found is that in the past - but no longer, there was an evolutionary survival advantage to having an imagination with a negativity bias so we were hyper-vigilant and didn't underestimate dangers. Keeping this scientific understanding in mind allows people to rationally argue [refer RET - Rational Emotive Therapy and CBT - Cognitive Behavior Therapy] with their often too negative imagination, reminding themselves that their FEAR is most likely False Evidence Appearing Real and therefore having sensible faith in a consciously, more positively imagined and described future, thereby relieving anxiety and enabling greater productivity and happiness." - Ben O'Grady

[Quote No.55633] Need Area: Fun > Anticipation
"[A story - with a message about fear, worry and the human negativity bias:] 'Follow the Rule of Nine-Tenths' - There was a story that changed [Andrew] Carnegie's life. It's about an old man who lived a life of many tragic events. People in the town pitied him, but the old man said, 'Yes, my friends, all that you say is true. I have had a long life full of troubles. But there is one curious fact about them – nine-tenths of them never happened.' Carnegie learned from that story that most of the problems and 'what if's' we imagine almost never occur. Our brains have a tendency to dream up the worst-case scenarios and act accordingly — yet most of those almost never happen. And even if they do occur, they’re almost never as bad as we imagine. By reminding himself of the 'rule of nine-tenths,' Carnegie freed himself from the fear of the unknown and was able to take the risks he needed to achieve his radical success. Be honest with yourself: Do you get caught up on the 'what if's'? Would your life be better if you followed the rule of 'nine-tenths' and reminded yourself that most of those problems won't actually happen? Are you willing to make a commitment right now to live by that rule?" - Alex Banayan

[Quote No.55684] Need Area: Fun > Anticipation
"Skepticism helps determine truth and reliability and therefore can help people handle fear. Be skeptical of what you fear because our imaginations can fool us into seeing frightening things in the dark. To help remember this and that most fears do not eventuate remember that the word fear can be thought of spelling False Evidence Appearing Real or False Expectations Appearing Real. Challenge the rationality and truth of what you imagine that frightens you. All or most of it may turn out to be only unjustified opinion, you can dismiss rationally." - Seymour@imagi-natives.com

"[What is the meaning of life?] ...the most important philosophical question we can each ask ourselves is, 'Do I or do I not wish to commit suicide?' If we say, 'No I do not,' as most of us would, it is because we have reasons for living, or at the very least real hope that we can find such reasons. Then the next question is: what are the reasons I personally have for saying 'No' to that question? The answer contains the meaning of my life!" - Anthony C. Grayling
