Summary: <p>As human beings, we were born with a negativity bias that makes it very easy for us to notice what’s “wrong.” This innate bias is intended to help us detect and avoid danger. The problem is that while detecting what is uncomfortable or undesired might help us to survive, it doesn't help us to thrive! We benefit when we cultivate a more balanced experiencing of our world by turning toward the good that is already occurring. </p> <p>The teachings and practices in this episode can help to make your positive experiences “stickier” and help you shift the negativity bias, putting you on a path of resilience.</p> <p>I have a whole section of free daily practice for joy and resilience over at <a href="https://flourish.katiedutcher.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Flourish and Bloom</a>, a membership platform offering resources and events for mindfulness and self-discovery.
