Can you deal with a Negative Situation in a Positive Way?

Every pessimist has to live with an optimist.

Occasionally I am clever enough to do this.

My first response to change is usually resistance, or seeing it negatively.

On closer observation I recognize that it is only an opportunity that I am misperceiving as something negative.

This allows me to work within the situation in a positive rather than a negative mind set.

I used to work under someone who dealt with everything positively. It wasn't that fake positive pretending it didn't happen. It wasn't always a pleasant positive. However, they seemed to just turn it to not be a negative. It was disconcerting to me at times. It took a while to realize what was happening. Once I did it was easier. However, I still couldn't figure out how it was done and barely could explain it to you. I think it came from a place of survival and being in charge.

Depends on the situation...

Yes,

But it also depends on situation...

just think that the negetive situation is for your own good. that it will give you experience to solve worse problems in future.

cheers!
