I know it’s just a hypothetical sentence, but I feel like it is important to point out that the thought process can make all the difference. The thought process can make the difference between a positive outcome and a negative one.
If a thought is not positive or negative, then it is irrelevant to the outcome of a situation. It can also be a very dangerous thing. It can lead to a bad outcome because it is so quick to judge.
In our study of 986, 988, and 989 people from around the world we found that the most positive thought was the one that said “I think I’ll go to the beach in my swimsuit”. The most negative thought was the one that said “I think I’m going to go to the beach in my swimsuit.
If you are thinking something negative, it is easier to convince yourself that it is negative rather than seeing the truth. The most positive outcome of a thought is the one that says I will go to the beach in my swimsuit.
