Prescription For Positivity

Life Skills To Live Your Best Life

By: Harris Jensen, MD

What has your attitude done for you lately?

Negativity dominates the public consciousness. Pessimism and indecision can prevent progress in your life. But there is an antidote. “Positivity is the cure for pessimism,” says author and physician Harris Jensen, MD. “It’s time to upgrade your attitude.”

Positivity is a collection of skills so you can stay excited for your future and keep making progress on your dreams. These are skills for: positive self talk, feeling your self worth, time management, meditation, self motivation, boosting IQ through brain science, relationships, and rejecting pessimism. Dr. Jensen learned these skills in medical school and in practicing medicine for over 20 years.

Dr. Jensen shares simple, entertaining stories so you can see and feel what it is like to put these skills into action. These stories automatically motivate the reader. Heroes in these stories include: an Olympian, housewives, mothers, high school students, college students, nurses, painters and bricklayers, husbands and new fathers, job hunters, and of course, Dr. Jensen’s dog Sammy.

Excerpt from Prescription For Positivity.

““What’s that?” my camp director, a college professor, asked me while pointing to a tree. “Quaking aspen,” I said tentatively. “Exactly right!” he said. Then the thought occurred to me, “I am being quizzed on the fly by a professor I don’t even know and he could make me look really stupid. I should be scared as hell!”

The fear energized me. I thought of running back to my tent. That is what I had done in my life. When things got tough, I quit. But I saw how the professor kept moving forward down the trail. I chose to keep going. The fear energized me to act positively—and see what was around the next bend in the trail.

Later along our walk, the camp director told me something he’d observed about me. “If you keep focusing on making just a little progress every day,” he announced, “you’ll succeed at anything you put your mind to.” He chuckled to himself at his discovery about me and went back to birdwatching.
