This post is just to show how powerful our cognitive appraisal plays an enormous part in how we live our life daily. The way you perceive a moment in your life will determine the outcome and results of how things exist in your life.
To show how powerful Cognitive Appraisal is, I will ask you to be aware of your inner self as I present this scenario.
Let's imagine you are walking home at night and you are a block away and a car pulls up next to you and three huge individuals get out of the car and start approaching you quickly with aggressive energy.
At this point be aware of all the feelings going through your body. It could be worried, scared, prepared, concerned, inquisitive, skeptical, or other emotions that may form.
Ok so I'll repeat the scenario,
Let's say you are walking home at night and you are a block away from home and the same three individuals are beating up on your mother.
Now noticed the energy that's in your body.
Notice that how you focused on the three individuals determined the energy that went through your body
The first scenario you may have seen yourself as a victim. The second scenario you saw yourself as the aggressor. The same three enormous individuals, which were the focal point, wasn't as an important part as in how your cognitive appraised the situation.
The result of this study is to show that in life we have to avoid seeing ourselves as victims in our daily struggles and be an aggressor to our temporary obstacles.
STAY POSITIVE!!!!
