How to Become More Positive and Confident By Asking One Question

Our minds are constantly filling in the gaps. Did you know that our brain processes what it knows and constructs realities to complete the unknowns? These realities and the perceived threat accompanying them help us decide our disposition to the situation. 

For example, your boss sends an email asking for a face-to-face meeting about your recent performance. How do you feel about the meeting? Nervous? Excited? Curious? Worried?

Another way of thinking about this is, "Where are you?" Are you above the line? Or below the line about the meeting? 

In this episode, we discuss the concept of above-the-line thinking, explaining what it is and how we might all benefit from knowing our location in relation to the line. It's a simple yet compelling question that could be a helpful tool in becoming more open to situations around us - allowing us to become more positive people.
