Video Transcript

We are bombarded by negativity all day long by the news, social media, and people complaining. Our brains have negativity bias where we're better at noticing what's bad than what's good, which is annoying but important—we evolved that way to focus on problems so we could find solutions. And in order to survive, we had to learn what was dangerous or what could harm us and tend to that first. But now that often takes the shape of people around us constantly complaining, blaming, or judging their surroundings, and it's really important for our mental health to balance that out with an influx of positivity. Gratitude can help with that. It can help us rewire our brains to have a healthy bias towards positivity. Plus, it feels a lot better to become more positive, optimistic, and hopeful. When we emphasize gratitude in our lives, we experience joy and happiness and are better able to find what makes us feel good.
