Hey Encourager! Welcome back to Encouraging the Encouragers with Mitch Matthews. In today’s Philosophy Friday episode, we’re diving into a single, powerful word: love.
💡 The Challenge of Staying Encouraged – How social media and news outlets thrive on negativity and how it can wear us down.
🧠 The Brain Science Behind It – Why our brains are wired to focus on anger and fear, and how that impacts our daily mindset.
❤️ Why Love is the Answer – A practical approach to shifting your focus and staying encouraged.
🔑 Actionable Ways to Lead with Love – Small but powerful ways to bring encouragement into your daily life.
- Social media platforms intentionally amplify frustration and division because negativity is more addictive than positivity.
- Our brains (specifically the amygdala) are wired to scan for danger, making it easy to get caught up in negativity.
- Shifting your focus to what you can control—starting with acts of love—can keep you encouraged.
- Simple actions like thanking a barista, checking in on a struggling friend, or encouraging a fellow entrepreneur can create a ripple effect of positivity.
- When you spread love, you can’t help but get some on you!
