mental health problems and other problems are
stuck onto negative thinking. This may get in the way
of recovery.

anxiety and depression,passing through many feelings,none of

them pleasant.

subtracts from our energy.

Closing oneself down to possibilities and flow of

abundance: When we are in a negative state we do not

attract those elements that would make our lives advence
rather we attract the circumstance that support us in thinking
something is wrong ,and we stuck.

CASE STUDY-I
16

Let's say that you're walking through the forest and suddenly a

tiger steps onto the path ahead of you. When this happens, your
brain registers a negative emotion -- in this case, fear.
Researchers have long known that negative emotions program

your brain to do a specific action. When that tiger crosses your

path, for example, you run. The rest of the world doesn't matter.
You are focused entirely on the tiger, the fear it creates, and how
you can get away from it.
In other words, negative emotions narrow your mind and focus

your thoughts. At that same moment, you might have the option to
climb a tree, pick up a leaf, or grab a stick -- but your brain ignores
all of those options because they seem irrelevant when a tiger is
standing in front of you.

This is a useful instinct if you're trying to save life and limb,

but in our modern society we don't have to worry about

stumbling across tigers in the wilderness. The problem is
that your brain is still programmed to respond to negative
emotions in the same way -- by shutting off the outside
world and limiting the options you see around you.
Your brain closes off from the outside world and focuses on

the negative emotions of fear, anger, and stress -- just like it

did with the tiger. Negative emotions prevent your brain
from seeing the other options and choices that surround you.
It's your survival instinct.

CASE STUDY-II
18

Fredrickson tested the impact of positive emotions on the brain by

setting up a little experiment. During this experiment, she divided her

research subjects into five groups and showed each group different film
clips.
The first two groups were shown clips that created positive emotions.
Group 1 saw images that created feelings of joy. Group 2 saw images
that created feelings of contentment.
Group 3 was the control group. They saw images that were neutral and
produced no significant emotion.
The last two groups were shown clips that created negative emotions.
Group 4 saw images that created feelings of fear. Group 5 saw images
that created feelings of anger.
Afterward, each participant was asked to imagine themselves in a
situation where similar feelings would arise and to write down what
they would do. Each participant was handed a piece of paper with 20
blank lines that started with the phrase, "I would like to..."

CASE STUDY-II
19

Participants who saw images of fear and anger wrote down the fewest

responses. Meanwhile, the participants who saw images of joy and

contentment, wrote down a significantly higher number of actions that
they would take, even when compared to the neutral group.
In other words, when you are experiencing positive emotions like joy,
contentment, and love, you will see more possibilities in your life.
These findings were among the first that suggested positive emotions
broaden your sense of possibility and open your mind up to more
options
