When we allow negativity into our lives, we only hurt ourselves. Negativity breeds all sorts of harmful traits, like:
- Anxiety
- Hatefulness
- Selfishness
- Depression
- Low Self-Esteem
And many others.
Psychologists say that we are hardwired for negativity.
“We recall insults more than praise and remember traumatic experiences better than negative ones.” — Verywell Mind
It may feel impossible, but we can overcome this negative bias. According to a former monk, Jay Shetty, three values offset a negativity-focused mind. By strengthening these values within our lives, we can cut negativity, be happier, and live a more fulfilling life.
Where many go wrong
If you want to fix a problem, what do you do? You attack the problem.
