Why Your Brain Obsessively Hates Your Wins (and How to Stop It)| EP 66

from Listen Up, Younger Self! | Relationships, love, marriage, romance, intimacy · host Heather Solomon

Host Heather Solomon explores why our brains fixate on mistakes—rooted in negativity bias, the amygdala, and neuroplasticity—and how social media and comparison culture deepen that pattern. She shares personal stories (like helping a man in a wheelchair) to show how the habit of dismissing good deeds steals joy and identity. Heather offers practical steps to change the soundtrack: catch the inner critic, savor positive moments (about 20 seconds), reframe gratitude to notice small wins, celebrate progress, and practice believing compliments. The episode encourages seeing the good without an asterisk so you can make space for joy, connection, and peace.   Connect with me, I'd love any suggestions for future episodes.
