Say it? Sakurai Masahiro's advice on wiping negative emotions and a clearer direction
First there is Sakurai’s advice on motivation and then there’s the Power of Suggestion, all of them mental inhibitors and stimulus.
This video is not that different. What you think, and especially when you say what you think outloud, it may feel a bit more true.
“Life’s not fun” “I don’t want to work anymore.” How about “I’m in a good mood?” or “My work has purpose!” Do you feel different surges in your body? Of course, he doesn’t want you to say something outrageous like “It’ll rain tomorrow”.
What he’s getting at is to “change your attitude”. Make it meaningful. He also states that a negative outlook may prove a greater opportunity for change. In other words, how to improve on that negative outlook?
“How to make life fun?”
“How can I make my work better?”
Getting psyched at a challenge.
