Enhancing Positive Emotions

Learning to enhance the positive field and reducing the effect of the negative field is an important part of creativity and innovation. Thinking out of the box is possible only in a positive field. The positive field is sustained by certain tools and behavior: verbal, tonal and non-verbal. It is a win-win field. Within such a field, all who operate together are enabled and nurtured.

“It is well known that the era of the rugged individual has been replaced by the era of the team player. But this is only the beginning. The quantum world has demolished the concept of the unconnected individual,” wrote Margaret J. Wheatley. When people in a team co-operate and collaborate, the emotional balance sheet of all participants is positive. Understanding is more important than being understood or being right. The positive field is created by a common prayer or “mantra,” by a mental process which draws a magic circle around all those who are participating. A common exercise, a common company song, common goals; all enhance the power of the positive field. Handshakes, a friendly look, an encouraging word, are key factors. The role of laughter and commonly shared jokes in creating a positive field cannot be over estimated.
