Learning this theory reduces anxiety by more than half

strongly recommends that everyone understand the following concepts:

happens to have a theory in psychology called Regulatory focus theory. In 1997, the psychologist Higgins proposed the theory of adjustment focus. He divided one's attempts to achieve goals into two modes, namely:

Prevention focus: Will my actions produce bad results?

Promotion focus: Will my actions bring good results?

This is one of my recent big gains. I often rely on a mode of thinking in my life to promote the focus.

What are the benefits of doing this?

Avoid anxiety, think positively, and enhance happiness.

For example:

I encountered things before, and I often anchored a high standard, and then switched to the focus of prevention, and then what would happen if I did not meet this standard.......

The result would of course be very anxious , Very disappointed and struggling.

But if it is to promote focus, it will feel a lot easier. As long as there is any gain, it is still full of happiness.

Previously, I asked myself how many books I had to read every day, and I would blame myself if I didn't read it. Now, no matter how much I read every day, it is very enjoyable, because that is my tangible gain!
