81. Why is Negativity so Powerful?

In this episode we talk about why negativity is so powerful in our lives and how important it is to start controlling our brains better! Our brains are wired to constantly be looking out for our best interest in life. It turns out that this amazing feature registers negative information as a threat way more common than it needs to. This unconscious bias towards negative information brings a unique power to make our lives extremely negative! We have to make an intentional choice to see this information in its true light and choose positive pathways instead! We have the most amazing tool at our disposal in our brains! They are so good at keeping us alive and happy most of the time. Unfortunately in this process our brains are wired to always be on the lookout for threats that might harm us. Usually these threats are negative things in our lives. Because of this hard wiring we tend to see any negative information as a threat and it registers as a much bigger deal than it needs to. When we are inundated with negative information all the time our brains become hypersensitive to this type of input. Once we get on this train in our brain we start to focus on negative information all of the time and it starts to influence all other areas of our life! If we aren’t careful this information will start to take over and we only see the negative in our lives! We are going to have to make an intentional choice to see all information in its true light if we really hope to gain a more positive outlook in today’s environment. This is absolutely possible and worth it! I can help you distinguish your thoughts if you are struggling with negative thoughts in your life!
