Episode Synopsis


Think about the times the voice inside your head said something nice about you. You might have to think hard about it – our brain’s negativity bias makes it dish up far more negative thoughts about us than positive ones.
A National Science Foundation study found that nearly 80% of a person’s thoughts are negative and 95% of those are repetitive thoughts. What kinds of thoughts?

(Specific co-worker) hates me.
I have bad hair.
I’ll never get this done in time.
This will never work.
Things never work out for me.
I’m not good enough.

But the good ones pop up now and then. What are they? Really think about what your brain spits out about you that’s good. Things like:

I reached that goal…I rock!
I’m trustworthy.
I’m a good friend.

Write down the things about yourself that you love, take a picture of your list and set it as the wallpaper on your phone. Look at it several times a day as a reminder of who you really are. As you do this, you’re creating new neural pathways and new, more positive repetitive thoughts. Because you are trustworthy and a good friend and you do rock – isn’t it time you believed those things about yourself?
