Short YouTube monologue (Kim Zoller) encouraging intentional positive responses to others' negativity. The speaker explains emotions are contagious and challenges listeners to reply to negative comments with something positive to shift their own mindset and the surrounding environment.
Hi, it's Kim Zoller. I read this great article last week that is still sitting with me and that is how emotions are so contagious. And that is when someone says something negative we immediately our brains if we agree with them or if we go there, our brains start focusing on negativity. And obviously that's true for the positive as well. So why aren't we more intentional than when someone has a complaint or someone says something negative that instead of just listening to them and maybe having empathy for them, we want to jump in and get in there too, which is really making us go into that place of negativity. And so I challenge all of us, myself included, that when someone says something negative, let's try and say something positive back to them. So now not only are we intentionally controlling our mind to stay in that place, but we are also helping other people as well. It really changes our entire environment and it absolutely changes our brain and our mindset. Have a really positive wonderful day.
