ENGAGEMENT + MINDFULNESS

NEGATIVITY

WHY: by learning that your ancestors were always on the lookout for dangers to survive, such as sabre tooth tigers, you will understand why you naturally tend to look for what is wrong first. This is called negativity bias.

HOW: today there are no such tigers, but your own unhelpful thoughts have replaced them. Don’t compare yourself to others’ pretend images on social media, and accept yourself as a person who matters. Focus on looking for what is right about things.

Acknowledgement: Baumeister, Brown & Hanson

DO: when is a time that you noticed yourself first looking for what was wrong with something?

Why do you think that people put up pretend images about themselves on social media?
