    What Are You Hoping For?

    By Carolyn Stevens | Emotional Intelligence, You As A Leader | 0 comment | 21 April, 2020 | 5

    This question isn’t as lightweight as it sounds.

    Because our brain is a question-asking and question-answering mechanism, as soon as you ask, “What are you hoping for?”, your brain begins to paint a picture of your ideal outcome.

    But wait, there’s more…

    Once your brain begins to paint a picture of what you’re hoping for, it’s begun focusing on what you want—rather than what you don’t want.

    And that, my friends, is how we think, feel and live constructively, purposefully and happily.

    By focusing on what we want—not what we don’t want.
