I was thinking this was all a bit like sports, where we want the "right" team to win.
One team has been in existence for years and year and has great and overpowering abilities. It is the "Protection Team", with its plays dependent on plays from the old days, but they are so well practiced that they work.
The other team is fresh and new, but bound and determined to be a winner in as little time as possible, but realizes its practical limitations.
The team does not have a "playbook" and has no listing of what it needs to practice to get good at, but it would seem that would be a super priority.
The playbook might not be so great at first, but it'll shape up over time as we "learn" on the playing field what works and what doesn't - and we will be sure to learn as quickly as possible, since losing to the other team is not so pleasant.
This new team realizes it will lose a lot at first, so it's main short term goals will be to learn as much as possible as quickly as possible and as well as possible. And this team knows that it may not be the best team ever (though it could be) but that it will, absolutely, learn to be a good team that will have a good share of wins with fewer and fewer losses....
The equivalent of a "playbook" and a "list of practices" is The Reminders Notebook (click on title to link).
May your "Positivity Team" prosper from its new plays and its practicing of what works!
