Counseling using both positive and negative outlook

Sometimes it’s easy to look at things in a positive way and other times it’s easy to look at things in a negative way.  It’s like both are polar forces working against each other, however, you can use this to an advantage for yourself.  If you take a situation and look at the extreme of both sides, then you can eliminate the extreme anxiety caused by both and come to a middle agreement to help you accept and succeed in most situations.
