“Whoever is happy will make others happy too.” – Anne Frank

Weekly Focus: Pratikpasha bhavana (cultivating the opposite)
Pratikpasha bhavana is the practice of actively replacing your negative thoughts with positive thoughts. With time, this practice becomes commonplace, and allows for positivity and goodness to be consistent in the mind.

Pratikpasha bhavana is a way to help us manage the negative thoughts and narratives that enter our mind unwillingly. This practice should not be confused with outright optimism however, as they are not the same thing.

Optimism is a sense of hopefulness about the future or outcome of a situation, where pratikpasha bhavana replaces a negative thought with a related but different positive thought. Hopeful is a key word here. While optimism relies on having faith or hope, pratikpasha bhavana is a real and actionable practice. For example, if I find myself feeling sad or despondent, I can shift my focus to thinking of people that make me feel happy, or that perhaps resonate a sense of peace and calm. Cultivating an attitude of gratitude can be an example of pratikpasha bhavana.

By choosing to adjust our thought patterns rather than allowing our negative thoughts to define us, we can find a sense of more peace and contentment in our everyday life. When we feel contented, it shows, allowing the best version of ourself to shine and radiate.
