Few individuals will ever admit they are at war with themselves. Research tells us differently. When you look at the mirror, you see five negatives for every positive attribute. When you maneuver throughout the day, you say eight to ten negative thoughts about yourself for every one positive thought. You don't even know it, but you may be a bully---to yourself.

The power of negative thoughts goes by several names in the academic literature: negativity bias, negativity dominance, or the negative effect. All meaning that negative thoughts, events, and emotions affect us stronger and longer than positive ones.

In today's podcast, learn how to win the war and adapt how your brain works to begin creating positive neural networks. Learn why our brains seek out negativity and how to tip the scales to recognize all the good things that happen to us in a day. This podcast is a must listen to for everyone who finds themselves struggling with the narrative running wild in their minds.
