This week on Radically Loved we explore the topics of negative bias, habits, visualization, growth mindset, and fear of failure. Neuroscientist, Nicole Vignola, joins us to explain that humans have a negativity bias due to evolutionary reasons, but we can change our automatic patterns by acknowledging them and practicing new responses. Vignola shares that fear never really leaves us, but we can get better at dealing with it by gradually exposing ourselves to discomfort and gaining evidence that we can overcome challenges. Nicole also highlights the significance of resilience and failure in building a strong mindset. She explains the impact of mindfulness on rewiring the brain and offers practical tips for incorporating mindfulness into daily life.

If you're ready to embrace failure, and gain evidence that you can overcome it, this episode is for you!
