What is the negativity bias? What’s the impact of the negativity bias, and why do we often notice the negatives more than the positive? And how can you take a more balanced approached to the negative and positive aspects of life?

In this new episode of the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast I’m looking at the negativity bias and the effect of optimism on your general wellbeing. What does negativity bias mean? It’s one of the biases of the mind that can influence how you look at things as well as how you feel, and so by better understanding how to balance optimism and pessimism you’ll find the key to enjoying life more. So, let’s talk! 

Let’s Talk About Mental Health. Because the more we talk about it, the easier it gets.
