The <\/strong>positive or negative attitude develops in us from a very early age and shapes our view of the world<\/strong>. Negative thoughts (\u201cthis is going to go wrong\u201d) lead to a negative self-image (\u201cI’m bad\u201d). For this reason, we should try to avoid generalizations (\u201cthis time it didn’t go as well as yesterday\u201d instead of \u201cyou did it wrong\u201d). <\/span>Most<\/span> <\/span>of us act and react to our environment based on unconscious patterns acquired during childhood<\/span><\/strong>. Almost without realizing it, those thinking tendencies limit us or expand us. That is why it is important to help your children develop a positive attitude.<\/span><\/p>

This inclination towards positive thinking<\/a> or negative thinking starts to anchor itself in our psyche very early on<\/strong><\/span>, and begins to steer our perception of the events around us. We must therefore start as early as possible to train our little ones’ minds towards the great gift that a positive attitude is.<\/p>

When we generalize (using words like everything, never, ever, always\u2026), we create a label. Distorted thinking is an inadequate way of thinking that gives children a distorted view of who they are, preventing them from seeing reality, affecting their mood negatively<\/strong> and leading to disruptive behavior. <\/p>

One way to help them is to offer an alternative instead of judging<\/strong> (for example: if they make a mistake in a game, we could say \u201clook, if you do it this way it will work better\u201d, instead of telling them \u201cyou did it wrong\u201d and not giving them a chance to improve).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

We do not see what things are, but what we are<\/h2>

For a long time, the cognitive schools of psychology have been claiming that each of us interprets reality through our own filter made up of our beliefs<\/strong>. In other words, between what really happens and what I perceive there is a space in which our mind operates.<\/p>

For most of us, that filtering process goes unnoticed and we simply take it for granted that what I perceive is reality, and that this is the only possible reality. However, if we are able to become aware of that process, we will understand why some people see life through rose-colored glasses and others see it in dark gray.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
