Understanding the Brain’s Bias Towards Negative Thoughts
Rewire your brain
Have you ever wondered why we tend to have so many negative thoughts? When some, seemingly unimportant, negative thought pops into your head you find yourself minutes later going down the negative thought spiral.
I’ve often found myself overwhelmed by negative thoughts, and I know how stressful or exhausting it sometimes can be.
I felt like my mind was constantly on high alert, coming up with these ridiculous “worst-case” scenarios. In a way, my mind was looking for danger even when there was none.
Over time, I’ve learned that it’s possible to control these thoughts. With consistent effort and a few techniques, I’ve managed to quit that constant negative chatter in my head and turn it into positive.
The difference is incredible — I feel more at peace, more positive, and much less stressed. Each time when something (supposedly) bad happens, my mind doesn’t play the game called the worst-case-scenario.
When we understand our mind better, we also understand ourselves better.
I want to share what I’ve learned about how our brains work and how we (including you) can train them to focus on the negative.
