• How to overcome your negative routine thoughts
• The steps to train a divergent mind
• Your New Year Mindset Challenge!

The Divergent Movie Series

• citizens are divided into different factions
  • AMITY (peaceful)
  • DAUNTLESS (brave)
  • ERUDITE (intelligent)
  • CANDOR (honest)
  • ABNEGATION (selfless)
• The “outsider” are DIVERGENTS who think beyond the simulations of fear and out of the realm

Divergent Thinking

• a way of solving problems wherein a variety of possible solutions are proposed in an effort to find one that works.

How to Train Yourself to be a Divergent?

1. Think of the simulation as your own adversities/fears/depressed moods/things that don’t go your way
2. Ask yourself what your routines are in response to stress/depressed moments/adversities/difficult times in life?
3. What are your thinking patterns? Automatic thoughts?
4. Challenge your own thoughts, challenge your own beliefs
   • Is it based on facts or your feelings/fears?
   • Is it exaggerated? Have you catastrophized the situation?
   • Do you just look up the evidence for your belief instead of looking at both sides of the coin?
   • Have you given it time to gather evidence and let the solution unfold itself?
   • Do you believe that every life question should have a quick answer or even a solution?
5. Think beyond your routine answers and list out alternative thoughts!

Words of Wisdom by Paulo Coelho

If you think adventure is dangerous, try routine; it is lethal.”

Take-away messages

• Thoughts are not facts. You are the one to have thoughts. Don’t let the self-sabotaging thoughts determine who you are. You choose who you are!
• Don’t confine yourself to established beliefs! Think beyond your routine answers, and by doing that you will discover solutions or perspectives that you might never think of before!
