We all have a negativity bias, even generally positive people. The automatic negativity bias evolved to keep us safe from lions, tigers, and bears, so there’s no need to beat yourself up about your negative tendencies. You come by them naturally.   That negative bias, though, is antiquated, just like the slingshot our ancestors used to bring home dinner. It simply doesn’t serve us well in the modern age.   Studies show that 90% of our thought are repetitive, and 70% of them are negative. That’s reason enough to want to nip negative thoughts in the bud.   In today’s episode, you’ll learn four techniques for reining in negative thoughts and keeping them from running amok in your mind and ruining your day. These simple techniques -- some accessible even to children -- are tools that can steer moments from the negative to the positive. And once you get the hang of them, you’ll begin to do them automatically, trading in the negative spiral for a positive one. Thanks for listening!   To share your thoughts:   Le
