Flip the Script on Negativity: With Intent of Attention

Life often presents challenges or interactions that can trigger negative thoughts and emotions. While it’s natural to experience these feelings, fixating on negativity can hinder personal growth and overall well-being. My journey of transformation helped me take a different approach. In a recent post, I introduced an expanded definition for Attention. I coined ‘Intent of Attention’ and I am a firm believer in our ability to Flip the Script on Negativity: With Intent of Attention.

At a time when I was at my lowest, I made the courageous decision to venture out on my own. When I aligned with the T3 Human Experience Model and Four Fields of Growth, I discovered a transformative approach to navigating life’s ups and downs.

The Four Fields: Your Personal Growth Toolkit

Attention Practices: Our ‘Intent of Attention’, thrives here, and spotlights when you’re going down a negative thought spiral. Toolkit items include: meditation, deep listening, presence

Making It Real – Let me share a bit about how I use these tools in my own life. Everyday, I try to do some form of meditation. Sometimes it’s just focusing on my breathing, which helps me stay present and calm. Other days, I do this awesome transformation meditation with six phases: Compassion, Gratitude, Forgiveness, Envisioning the Future, My Perfect Day, and The Blessing. It’s like a mini-reset for my mind and soul.

Practical Tips to Gain a Deeper Connection With Yourself

The Ripple Effect – Here’s the truth: Everything we do becomes part of our ‘Spaces of Meaning‘. By strengthening our Four Fields of Growth coaching processes, we can gain greater insight when our Ground of Being experiences a disturbance. When we’re more aware of our actions and thoughts, we can choose to create positive responses rather than negative ones. As you become the author of your own life – you get to choose the impression you’re putting out there. And get this – when we start noticing what’s influencing our thoughts and feelings (that’s our “Spaces of Meaning” in fancy terms), we can actively seek out new, positive influences. It’s like curating your own personal environment for growth and happiness. The Ripple Effect, as we strengthen our Field of Growth processes, brings tremendous insight.

Remember, these processes won’t bring perfection. Rather, it’s about making small, consistent efforts to raise our awareness, and work to flip the script on negativity. Some days will be easier than others, and that’s totally okay. The important thing is to keep at it, celebrate your progress, and be kind to yourself along the way. Our lives are a journey of continuous growth and self-discovery. As you integrate these processes and practices into your life, you’ll find yourself better equipped to navigate challenges, embrace opportunities, and live a more fulfilling, authentic life aligned with the T3 philosophy of Purpose | Meaning | Joy.

So, what do you think? Ready to be put your own “Intent of Attention” into your daily routine and flip the script on negativity? Trust me, with a little practice, you’ll be amazed at how much brighter your world can become!
