Since our mind is naturally trained to look for what is wrong, it's a survival skill, skill, and in some cases it's our choice to rewrite, reroute our mind and look for what's good interesting.
Ever wondered why some people seem stuck in a cycle of misery, almost as if they invite others into their gloom? Laurie McDougall and Annie Highwater tackle this intriguing question in this episode of 'Coming Up for Air'. They explore why we sometimes choose negativity over positivity, even when we're not in the midst of trauma or grief. Why do we cling to situations that only bring us down?
The hosts discuss the fear of getting well and the daunting task of self-examination. It's about facing truths we might not want to admit and deciding to shift our mindset towards the positive. Laurie and Annie also share a list from Psychology Today that outlines symptoms of chronically unhappy people. It's a fascinating look at how our minds are wired for survival, often making it easier to see what's wrong rather than what's right.
As Annie puts it, 'Our mind is naturally trained to look for what is wrong; it's a survival skill. But sometimes, we need to reroute our thinking and focus on the good.' If you're on a journey to recovery or just curious about the complexities of happiness, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in to 'Coming Up for Air' and discover how to rewrite your mind's narrative.
