Ever since Robert K. Merton coined the term “self-fulfilling prophecy” in 1948, studies in cognitive psychology have shown that our expectations and words have immense power over behavior. When we tell ourselves, “This is going to go wrong,” we create internal anxiety, and often, our actions unconsciously lead us to that outcome. Paul Watzlawick, in The Art of Making Life Bitter, explores how negative language reinforces self-destructive patterns. In my latest Medium post, I invite you to explore a simple cognitive exercise that will help you keep the mental “weeds” under control, transforming negative thoughts into more flourishing territory. https://medium.com//can-you-turn-your-mind-into-a-garden-74259824cc93

There is no possibility of the new without uncertainty. We must challenge our resignation for the new to be possible. Pausing the future implies raising your eyes to recreate the landscape of the present. Without a horizon, there is no exploration; without exploration, there is no possibility of something new in your life. Transforming your destiny implies bringing the future into the present to inspire another everyday life.
