Are you stuck in a loop of negative thoughts even when life is going well?
In Part 2 of my series, I explore why your brain seems wired for negativity and how to reprogram it. From minor daily annoyances to spiraling worst-case scenarios, negativity can keep us anxious, reactive, and disconnected from joy.
But here’s the truth: you’re not broken, your brain is simply running an old survival program.
Listen in to learn how a simple ear-pull helped me and my wife Danielle snap out of negativity on our latest Camino trail hike, plus how you can anchor empowering thoughts into your nervous system for lasting change.
You CAN retrain your mind. It starts with awareness and a willingness to practice something new.
