Positive thinking is great but only if you combine it with a good sense of reality. You can do that by using the WOOP process:
1. Wish. What do you want to achieve?
2. Outcome. Use positive thinking to imagine the benefits.
3. Obstacles. What will get in the way?
4. Plan. When the obstacle shows up, how will you deal with it? “If _____ happens, Then I will _____.”
