Spending More Time in Positive Emotions


Listen Later

In this episode, I’m talking about something we all want—feeling better more often in our everyday lives.

I share a simple experience that reminded me how much of what we feel isn’t coming from our circumstances, but from the way we’re thinking about them. We spend so much time dreading things or focusing on what’s not working, and very little time actually noticing when things go well.

I introduce the idea of negativity bias, how our brains are wired to focus on the negative, and why, if we don’t manage that on purpose, we’ll naturally spend more time in stress, frustration, or dissatisfaction.

What I want to offer is that feeling better isn’t about changing your life, it’s about being more intentional with your thinking.

I walk you through how to start noticing your baseline emotions and how to begin shifting them by choosing thoughts that create more supportive or positive feelings.

This episode is really about taking your power back and realizing that you can create more contentment, gratitude, and ease in your life....without waiting for everything to be perfect.
