reference book

In the complex situations that occur inside and outside of us,
As a way to govern, cultivate and protect my mind,
Identify the source of negativity through scientific evidence
Dealing with this appropriately and replacing it with positivity,
Guided indicators that can be easily applied and sustained in daily life

· The life I lead, what kind of mind and actions will shape me?

We live in a world of unfathomable change and instability, with today being different from yesterday and tomorrow being different again.
It is not easy to stay focused on the ever-evolving technology and vast amounts of information.
In times like these, it's really important to take care of myself.
In this complex and busy world, we fall into greater confusion.
As a result, we become vulnerable and exposed to negativity born from vague worries and fears.
However, neglect is prohibited.
Therefore, we must examine the sources and consequences of negative emotions that eat away at us.
It is important to achieve your goal of filling your inner self with positivity by putting the right mindset into action.

The author speaks out against various aspects of denial through scientific evidence and research.
It reveals the true nature of the negativity we feel in our daily lives and suggests how to deal with it.
If we understand the inseparable source of negativity, we can avoid being helplessly swept away by it.
Maybe I'll just observe from a distance.
And you can gain control by putting in place appropriate countermeasures to prevent it.
We must stop repeating the unfortunate events of injustice becoming a burden and weighing down our lives.
It guides me out of my passive posture, sets standards, sets boundaries, and saves me from negativity.

As times progress, the number of wounds and hearts that are difficult to heal also increases.
Although each situation has its own difficulties, it is clear that the situation is becoming increasingly complex.
This book helps you find the starting point by clearly explaining the seemingly intractable tangle of negativity.
He hands us that string as we are repeatedly being attacked, wandering, and becoming isolated because we do not know how.
Now it's up to each of us to hold onto that string and untie it.
It's not difficult. If you consistently pursue positivity, you will eventually reach it.

· Alchemy of Positivity

How can we define negativity?
The answer will vary from person to person, but there won't be much difference.
What does it mean that there is no set answer?
This, if you've noticed, is that it doesn't focus on the negative.
In other words, our attitude toward negativity should be the focus.
Even when looking at one thing, everyone thinks about it differently depending on the direction and concept from which they look at it.
Therefore, our position in defining the target itself is crucial.

Negativity can turn into positivity depending on how we set our minds to it.
In ancient Egypt, attempts were made to turn lead and iron into the perfect metal, gold.
Although theoretically impossible, the search for gold laid the foundation for modern chemistry.
What this means is that if you believe and act to achieve something, you will achieve positive results in the grand scheme of things, even if they are not what you expected.
Even if you have to go through a reckless and difficult process, if you endure the hardships, you will reap valuable fruits that are more than what you intended.

We need the alchemy of identifying and utilizing negativity to replace it with positivity.
Let's try to apply the method that works for me from what the author described.
Of course, it will be awkward and clumsy at first.
Isn't that the beginning of everything?
If we try them one by one, we will discover and embody positivity beyond our expectations, and we will be able to experience peace and joy in our lives.

· Live as a changed person, filled with positivity, not as you were before.

At the end of the year, we naturally look back on the year.
Starting with checking whether you have achieved the things you planned at the beginning of the year, recall memorable moments and examine what remains along with the emotions from that time.
What do you feel during this process?
I think about whether I achieved my goals, how I felt each time, and whether I like who I am now.
For each item, you can synthesize negative and positive emotions.

We tend to remember bad experiences more than good ones, making it easy to make the mistake of allowing unhappiness to snowball.
To break out of this habit, you need to replace negativity with positivity.
The key is to immediately recognize and prevent negativity and replace it with positivity.
We must not allow injustice to grow out of control and consume us.
We must build up positivity and build a strong inner self that can no longer allow negativity to enter.

I prove myself through my actions and results.
You can think and imagine as many things as you want in your head.
Afterwards, there is a fork in the road, and you are faced with the choice of taking action.
This is something everyone already knows.
We must break free from the cycle of endless repetition, where we remain stuck at the stage of just thinking.
Small achievements add up to big results.
Let's put aside the trivial thoughts that come to mind and put them into practice.
Instead of wallowing in negativity and lamenting, "How long will I have to live like this?", let's take a step toward filling ourselves with positivity.
As time passes, a changed me filled with positivity awaits me today.
