Win, Lose, or Learn
Are you avoiding organizing your affairs due to negative thoughts? These distortions can be modified with thought. Let’s add a third outcome to the mix. Instead of good/bad or pass/fail, let’s add learning as a game. What will you know after your affairs are tidied up? What will be the value of the new knowledge? How and when will you apply or test the new information?
The interplay between threats and rewards is a case of percentages. Sabotage results from emphasizing the threat or reward. Threat prevention triggers the fight or flight response, and the split widens between doing and not doing. However, there is a third ingredient: learning. You may lose and learn. Going forward and trying again can enrich your knowledge and technique base.
Thoughts, feelings, and behaviour are all interconnected. If you thought you could win again, positive emotions would follow, and you would try again. Can you picture yourself with your financial affairs in order?”
