Mental Exercise 3 : Alternative Realities

Following on the previous mental exercise, you realise that how every person views the world is very different. And often times, based on these interpretations, eavh person actually builds their own reality. Do you choose to live in a reality that is toxic to your health?

When there are 99 things of 100 which are wrong, do you see the 99 bad ones, or do you see the 1 good thing? And of the 99 bad things you see, how many are really as bad as you imagine?

Do you live in a world where you are powerless to these problems, or one where you have the power to take charge of the problem? Do you see despair, or do you see hope?

Pick a situation where you are unhappy with the scenario you are in. Be it an difficult boss, or a failed application. Try to think of an alternative reality in which you can interpret the situation, such that it is
(1) better than the one you are experiencing now
(2) one which you can plausibly accept
For the next week, live as if this "alternative reality" is true.

In this alternate reality, pay close attention to the details. Focus on the small pieces of evidence that that it is actually working and possible. Learn to ignore even mountain loads of evidence, as if you're in a make-believe play...

Try that and see what happens? Try it again?
Change your mind, change your world.
