Your brain is wired for negative thoughts. Here’s how to change it.

As rooted in evolution, negative thoughts are meant for your survival but what becomes about surviving also hinders you. Since your brain isn't hardwired for positivity, you have to work on it.

"Your brain is wired for negative thoughts."

Is that a negative or positive statement?

@Mooncalf Maybe both. Being negative helps you see threats but your body is geared towards habit so it hurts you as well.

@SatanBurger Can a statement be both positive and negative at the same time?

SatanBurger · 36-40, F

@Mooncalf Well in evolution it's a great trait to have, with social implications it isn't. So maybe.

@SatanBurger It seems to me to create a state of confusion.

@Mooncalf Sometimes what saves us also hurts us but you can develop ways to separate when it helps or hurts. Keeping in mind to not identify with your thoughts, a thought is just a thought.

@SatanBurger That makes sense, thank you.
