#15: How Negativity is a Disease in Today's Society and How to NOT Catch it

from Sarapy · host Sarah

WELCOME BACK!! I'm so excited to share a brand new solo episode with you on a subject I'm very passionate about - how to minimize negativity in your life and how to have more JOY and positivity! But first I'm catching you up on what's been going on in my life, from my sister's beautiful destination wedding in Cancun to my recent trip to Texas to audition for Rome Music, a pretty incredible metal band based in Houston (I'm a metal girl now :'))! I'm telling you about the conversation with my friends that sparked my interest in podcasting about this topic (shoutout Dua for your insight!) and explaining why I may or may not be considered a delusional optimist. I'm giving you my top tips and tricks on how I keep negativity to a minimum in my life, and gently reminding you of the importance of checking in regularly on your friends. I hope you have as much of a blast listening to this episode as I did recording it. I hope you laugh, and I hope you learn. Also, I copyrighted J. Cole, Mozart, Sia, and Tchaikovsky in the writing of my new intro/outro and I feel great about it. ENJOY! <3 Podcast Recs: Huberman Lab; How Psilocybin can Rewire Our Brains On Purpose with Jay Shetty; Naveen Jain interview Book Recs: The Power of One More, Ed Mylett Limitless, Jim Kwik Intro - Celcius Codependence, my sister's destination wedding, my metal band audition; 1:24 Recs; 14:49 Topic Intro - disclaimers and the convo that got it started: are you a pessimist, realist, optimist, or delusional optimist? 25:20 How we validate others' negativity in an attempt to meet our basic human emotional needs - relatedness, autonomy, and self esteem, why we are scared of being optimistic; 30:57 How we attempt to cure the disease of negativity with short term solutions rather than addressing the root cause, the importance of cultivating the right mindset, the unsustainability of living in "vacation mode" 44:00 Why we are always either improving our mindset or letting it suffer, the importance of not leaving our disposition to chance or circumstances; 51:35 How to fight negativity: morning routines, being the "weirdo", monitoring the impact of the negative people in your life, filling your mind with positivity, affirmations; 56:00 The importance of checking in with your friends regularly; 1:09:20 Outro - the hottest of the hot tips, me harassing you about sharing my podcast :); 1:13:15
