Winning positive square A Game

We are all equally equipped to be gifts to this world and make a positive difference in each other’s lives. Family, teachers, students, coaches, doctors, nurses, authors, etc. can be part of the community’s system to support positive outcomes. Defined as leaders in the agentic system, these influencers can and do make a positive difference in the lives of others Thus, how we choose to treat one another, and without disruptive behaviors, is the influencer (almost like a motive) of behavior at home, work, outside, classrooms, malls, etc.

Today, we have an environment where every spectrum of the developmental age range (demographics of parents, teachers, students, etc.) is tested to extremes. Environmental variables, the phenomenological componentry of lived experiences, are opportunities, not negative influencers, for burgeoning and existing leaders. Today’s current variables considered consist of COVID, economic challenges, personal anxiety, and psychotic wars of Poseidon.

We can use a square to illustrate how these four points can influence outcomes. The empirical, scholarly, data provided herein is known to produce effective results, (The outcome variable is considered individuals who possess dark personality traits), The following ‘bucket list’ provides individuals with tools to buffer sharp edges.

Discussed has been some triggers or extremes disruptions that can cause anxiety. So now let’s discuss how individuals, as developmental systems, can mediate anxiety by equipping themselves with these mental resets.

1.      Scenario for parent(s): worried about keeping a roof over their children’s heads, staying healthy and safe, and avoiding cyber predators. This triggering event, we’ll define it as an ‘A’, causes parents who allow anxiety to get to them, to potentially verbally or physically berate children—partners, or others as outliers. This could hurt families, relationships, self, and opportunities for growth. People always have options. A best option, to salvage A-games, is self-control through self-regulation.

2.      Parents (*agentic system mentioned above) can self-regulate moods and behavior through deep breathing, or counting to 10 slowly, when their mood swings. Knowing what triggers mood to swing, and even writing it down, is the ‘A’ – or the trigger event. This could be lay offs at work, overdue bills, cyber threats, bad conduct in schools or work environments, and so on. Combine the A with a substance that affects moods can really escalate behavior and ability to self-regulate behavior. Really any kind of bodily movement, can produce regulation of behavior such as: deep breathing, stretching, and so on (it’s body science of lowering cortisol stress levels).

3.      Knowing the ‘A’ leads to the ‘B’, or behavior, it is imperative to just pause or “chill out” when the antecedent occurs. Revising the As of behavior could be economy, disease, or even psychosis of conduct.)

4.      Remembering our ABCs, we know ‘C’ comes next. We can think of C’s as outcomes or as opportunities: Glass half-full or half-empty? To keep our mood in the middle, using the analogy of a glass, half full, an individual learns to leverage his or her bucket list to mediate anxiety and remain cos-free.

5.      Everyone in the community can help make a difference. There is no prejudging,it's equal opportunity,  culture, color, age, income, religion, sexual preference, etc. We all are equipped.

*Behavior is always up to you.
