Seeing Red Cars: Blogger sees only focus on wants; book delves much deeper

Src_header

Seeing Red Cars also addresses fear avoidance, social conditioning, rapid change, and much more

Finally!  A workforce blogger did a quick scan of my new book and said: “I didn’t find anything new or original in it. The concept of focusing your mind on what you want is thousands of years old.”

I LOVE having the opportunity to point out WHY my message is different. Here’s what I told him:

I agree! The idea of positive focus has been around forever. What has NOT been discussed as thoroughly is the unconscious—and often more powerful—focus on what we fear and are trying to avoid. It takes acute and intentional awareness of both of these forces, consistently and over extended periods, to effect meaningful behavior change. To truly accomplish the positive outcomes we desire, we must practice vigilance and perseverance.

 

And this is just the beginning.  Adding to the difficulty of retaining our positive focus are additional powerful factors, such as:

  • Our social conditioning—the way we were raised—teaches us to fear such things as horrible bosses, rejection, or looking stupid. These unconscious thoughts create circumstances that are not conducive to accomplishing our bigger picture objectives.
  • Our world of rapid change and technological advancements further exacerbate feelings of uncertainty: Will I lose my job? Does what I think matter? Why can’t I get ahead?

What changes the game is the understanding—and leveraging—of these forces. In Seeing Red Cars the book I address the brain research that helps us understand how our inner systems work. Once we understand, we can work on plans to move ourselves in positive directions.

Seeing Red Cars offers the framework and a toolkit to chart a course toward your personal and professional “I wants.” I welcome you to take the journey!

Thank you, Mr. workforce blogger, for asking the question. Please let me know if you have others.

====================

When does your mind tend to drift off and think about fears?

What can you do to “catch yourself” and instead focus on the positive outcomes you want?
