Today we're going to talk about a basic
mechanism our brain has

and that affects our lives.

Our brain tends to be negative.

Thanks to that, humanity has survived for 
thousands of years.

What does our brain do?

It emphasizes on the negative.

It looks for any threats that it can find and
it anticipates the dangers that may happen.

Our brain is constanly "worrying" for the bad
things that can happen to us.

It is a true survival machine.

The american therapist, Rick Hanson, says:

"The brain is like velcro for negative experiences, but 
Teflon for positive ones".

This explains why it's easier for us
to find negative aspects before the positive

and why we give so much importance to
fear and concern.

Some studies say that if you tell your 
partner a negative thing,

you will need to say five positive things
to make up for the negative effect.

Our brain works for our survival, 
to keep us alive through the day

It's not ready and doesn't care for
our happiness.

That's up to us.

If the brain and us work together, today 
we will get through the day,

not only alive, but also happy.
