3 Reasons To Steer Clear of The 'Doomsday'? Critics

3 Reasons To Steer Clear of The 'Doomsday' Critics

Everyone dislikes a "Negative Nancy" and/or a "Pessimistic Peter" or so the story goes, but... Why should you avoid the consistent bombardment of negativity when trying to resolve an impending potential crises which may or may not arise? Well the #1 Reason should be...

  • Peace of Mind

One of the best reasons to steer clear of negative thought pathology's is that you will be able to have a peace of mind. The ability to stay calm during difficult times allows you to be able to look at situations objectively without allowing emotional turmoil to take an overwhelming tax on your morale and/or motivation.

The ability to see a situation through a factual based viewpoint allows you the unique position to see reality based solutions more efficiently, because you are able to see the situation for what it is, instead of seeing it through a skewed lens of what it could be.

When you are surrounded by individuals that only see the negative in any situation, it is easy to worry. It is much easier to allow yourself to be paralyzed by fear and allow inaction and indecisiveness to overcome you.

Do yourself a favor... Remove yourself from the company of negative critics and allow yourself the time to breathe and meditate on solutions for your own personal victory.

  • Focus

When you are able to take a second to look back at the facts and brainstorm solutions, you begin to zero in on the possibilities in front of you. When you make that switch from worry and stressing towards applying solutions to fix the problems at hand, a great whirlwind begins to formulate. It is then that you will begin to focus.

Focus allows you the ability to postulate specific solutions that will serve as the basis of your proactive work. It will serve as your resolve for innovative solutions and these solutions will propel you towards accomplishment.

When you are surrounded by negative opinions it distracts you from being solutions based and wreaks havoc on your productivity. It is why it is best when you are faced with difficult decisions to make, that you take the time to search for win-win solutions that help multiple parties find common ground. It will serve in your best interest to avoid contact with negative people that may derail your good intentions and aspirations unknowingly with their self-sabotaging thought pathology's.

  • Productivity

Nothing gets work done like doing it! If you know you have tasks to complete, people to reach out to, things to do, and places to go.... Just do it!

Sometimes we often talk ourselves out of great opportunities by allowing ourselves to be overcome by self-doubt, often times, we are our own worse critics. If you want to accomplish more things quickly, you have to take action. Nothing gets done in life by thought alone, it takes planning and implementation!

That's where we often fall short in the accomplishment of our goals. We are consistently looking for confirmation, validation, and ultimately perfection. One thing I had to learn early, was that perfection does not always guarantee success! We should all esteem to seek the best quality work that we can do, but we should not be so hung up on perfection that we never seek completion. Perfection is so alluring! But it can cost us a lot of time and effort when we need to focus on sufficiency.

So above all, Don't be your OWN WORSE CRITIC! When you make a promise to excellence you have to understand that sometimes in life things can go awry at times. It is during those awkward times when standing on your own confidence and refusing to give in to negativity that ultimately helps you to stand up on your own two feet.

Nothing beats a Failure than a Try... and Nothing beats a Try than to Do. I wish you all luck in your endeavors but always remember...

Don't give in when you are overshadowed with doubt, indecisiveness, and/or negativity. Find a quiet place to clear your mind and allow yourself the ability to become creative!
