Negativity Zap

Our brain pays more attention to negative than positive things.

The first step to rewiring this negativity bias is to be aware of your thoughts (and the thoughts of others)for what they are: opinions.

For each negative thought, find a positive response or what some call, a ‘silver lining.’

What can I learn from this experience or event?

Is this thought or experience worse than it actually is?

Is this thought real?
