Today I talk about the power of positivity in counterbalancing the negativity bias we all have to some extent. While learning to stay on alert and be vigilant against danger helped our ancestors survive and evolve, it remains a prominent feature of our modern day brains and can cause us to feel chronically on edge, anxious and stressed. In addition to our biology, we are facing a lot of truly dangerous and distressing challenges globally at the moment. What can we do when faced with so many overwhelming negative experiences and emotions? By training our minds to also recognize, cultivate and let in the good, we can learn to hold it all – anything that happens to us – with a bit more perspective and equanimity. The power of positive emotions – those “little” things that make life worth living – and our biological need to care for one another, connection, and community is what gets us through difficult times in our lives, both individually and collectively. Sign up to my “The Power of Positivity: Overcoming the Negativity Bias” workshop here: https://forms.gle/JMXePJWVEJLucXGr5Visit me at: https://www.wellnesswithjuanita.comFollow me on socials:⁠Instagram⁠⁠: https://www.instagram.com/wellness_with_juanita⁠Facebook⁠⁠: https://www.facebook.com/wellnesswithjuanitajapan⁠LinkedIn⁠: https://www.linkedin.com/in/juanita-nagaiMusic credit: ⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/belonging⁠License code: SEX8P9CEYVUGA9UJ
