Responding to Stress with a Positive Mindset: The Power of Positive Intelligence

Stress is a part of life.People are frustrating, you don't always get what you want, and life is filled with loss. We often can't control what happens, we can only control how we respond.But responding to stressful situations in a positive or neutral way (without descending into toxic positivity) can be tough.The approach of Positive Intelligence, designed by Shirzad Chamine and outlined in his book of the same name, gives a clear roadmap for how to respond to tough situations in a way that improves our wellbeing rather than reducing it.This episode dives deeply into the concepts of Positive Intelligence, including identifying Saboteurs and Sage powers.
