You can use positive fantasies to kind of explore in your mind the possibilities of the future.
Ever thought that positive thinking alone could get you where you want to be? Gabriele Oettingen, a Professor of Psychology at NYU and the University of Hamburg, challenges this notion in a captivating episode of 'The One You Feed'. With a rich background in psychology and over 100 published articles, Oettingen sheds light on the pitfalls of mere positive fantasies and introduces us to Mental Contrasting.
This technique is all about blending your dreams with a realistic view of the obstacles ahead, making your goals more attainable. Oettingen’s research reveals that while dreaming big is important, it's not enough to just think positively. She introduces the WOOP method—Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, and Plan—a practical tool to turn those dreams into reality. By identifying potential hurdles and planning for them, you can transform your positive thoughts into effective actions.
Host Eric Zimmer dives deep into these concepts with Oettingen, exploring how her findings can be applied in everyday life and long-term personal development. Whether you're aiming to kick a bad habit, achieve career milestones, or improve your well-being, this episode offers valuable insights on how to make your aspirations come true.
If you're tired of the same old advice on positive thinking and want to discover a more grounded approach to achieving your goals, this conversation with Gabriele Oettingen is a must-listen. Tune in to learn how to blend optimism with realism and set yourself up for success.
