In this episode of the Mr. And Mrs Therapy podcast, the hosts explore the concept of negativity bias, which is the tendency to focus more on negative experiences than positive ones. They discuss the evolutionary roots of this bias, its impact on our emotional well-being, and how it manifests in self-talk, relationships, and stress. The hosts then provide five practical tools to help shift towards a more balanced perspective: maintaining a three-to-one positivity ratio, implementing a bad day buffer ritual, practicing gratitude, asking reframing questions, and creating a positive data bank. These strategies aim to retrain the brain and improve overall mental health. 00:00 Introduction to Negativity Bias 01:02 The Science Behind Negativity Bias 02:22 Negativity Bias in Daily Life 04:53 Impact on Relationships 11:49 Tools to Combat Negativity Bias 17:12 Conclusion and Final Thoughts
