Today we are going to talk about a basic mechanism that
our brain has and that affects our lives.
Our brain tends to be negative.
Thanks to that, humans have survived for thousands of years.
What does our brain do? it naturally goes for the negative and
looks for any type of threat it can find and
starts looking for
any dangerous situation that may occur.
It's worried for all the bad things that could happen to us
Our brain is truly a survival machine.
Psychologist Rick Hanson says:
"The brain is like Velcro for negative experiences, but Teflon for positive ones".
This explains why it's so easy for us to find negativity before positivity and
why we give too much attention and room to fear and concern.
Studies suggest that if you say one negative thing to your couple,
you'll need to say 5 positive things to counter the negative effect.
Our brain works for our survival. To get us through the day. It is not
prepared and it is not meant to care for our happiness.
That is up to us.
If we both do our jobs right, we will not only get through the day alive,
but happy as well.
