Outcomes


Daily meaningful activities

using skills you already have

gets you into flow.


Flow frequently brings outcomes:

  • emotional outcomes (makes us happy)
  • material outcomes (fruits of our labour)

Outcomes keep us going.


But sometimes...

we get derailed by bad mood

  • by negative events or emotions around us
  • due to our own failing
  • by recalling a negative past

and lose our flow.


Negativity captures our attention

more than positivity.


So we stay down

due to the negative feedback loop:

Negativity and pessimism reinforce themselves.


We need emotional stability to keep us going.


Negativity hinders progress
