A positive mindset makes all the difference

The idea that your mindset can determine your world seems almost too good to be true. Yet it is. You really do not have to be a rudderless ship bobbing about in frustration on a sea of situations that present themselves anew every day.

Captain of your own ship

On the contrary. With a positive mindset you are in charge of the course you want to sail. Of your progress. Of your success. You are the captain of your own ship. You do not reach that state by ignoring setbacks, but by actively looking for solutions. Scientific research supports the benefits of a positive mindset. How about better mental and physical health, a lower risk of illness and even a higher tolerance for pain?

Positivity and the seven-colour theory of MyDrives

Positive thinking leads to positive feelings and then to positive actions with the greatest possible chance of a, here too, positive result. The seven-colour theory of MyDrives makes clear where your preference lies on the basis of your personal drivers. People with a yellow or turquoise driver have a preference for thinking. Those with a green or purple driver are largely guided by their feelings. Anyone with predominantly red or blue in their colour palette is naturally inclined to take action quickly. And people who are predominantly orange are the most flexible. They think along with you and are willing to take action together as long as positive results are achieved.

Do not fall into your own pitfall

Your preference for a particular colour naturally puts you in a good position to display positive, helpful behaviour. But be careful not to fall into the pitfall of your own colour and thereby display negative, obstructive behaviour. Two examples: ’red’ people are, as noted, decisive above all. That is fine in itself. But when they start displaying overly forceful behaviour at work or in their private circle, that has a damaging effect on themselves and on everyone around them. ’Green’ people naturally like to seek out communication in order to create support. On the other hand: when they tip over into gossiping and complaining, when they no longer talk with each other but about each other, that is disastrous for the collaboration.

Be aware of your own behaviour

The seven-colour theory of MyDrives gives you the insight that keeps you continuously aware of your behaviour. Certainly and above all when it has an obstructive or negative effect. It is then up to you to press the pause button, briefly or a little longer, before returning to the positive behaviour of the colour concerned.

In summary

Your life changes with a positive mindset. You can then grow as a person and become a happier human being. And that in turn directly influences your relationships and your collaboration with the people around you. The seven-colour theory of MyDrives helps you to be anything but a pessimist and to discover the full light within yourself. That is a difference like night and day.
