How To Be Happy

How To Reduce Negative Thinking - HTBH #10


Listen Later

If your mind feels like it’s stuck on a loop of overthinking, self-doubt or worst-case scenarios, you’re not broken — you’re human.

Our brains are wired with a natural negativity bias that helped our ancestors survive, but today it can leave us feeling anxious, drained and emotionally heavy.

This episode is all about breaking that cycle. We’re not trying to silence the inner critic — we’re learning how to work with it.


  • Understand why your brain is wired to focus on the negative (and how to gently interrupt the spiral)

  • Learn a powerful tool to balance worst-case thinking with perspective and calm

  • Discover how to train your brain to notice and hold onto the good more often

  • Explore the science of gratitude, and how simple practices can help shift your mindset


If you’re ready to feel a little lighter, a little clearer, and a lot more in charge of your thoughts, this one’s for you.

Tune in now and start reducing negative thinking, one small shift at a time.
