Your Wise Brain

The effects of society and education on this negative bias? e.g. most mainstream education focus on remedial work, which may lead children to develop a habit of fixating on "failure"... I suppose you could argue that humans created Education, too...

I second this completely. We generally do not give much importance to the good things happening in life and thus devoiding ourselves of the pleasure that we can derive from them. Cultivating a routine of taking a few seconds off to celebrate the good things that happenend during the day would definitely bring in more positivity than we can ever imagine. The 'negative bias' will not be an issue anymore.

Great article! I can really relate. Instead of giving the negative thoughts and things in your life power and your attention, give it to the positive and by doing so you are also practicing gratitude. Another practice that has worked wonders for me and takes only a few seconds to do is stopping your thoughts. I learned it in a book called The Secret of Instant Healing by Dr. Frank Kinslow. On his site http://quantumentrainment.com there are free downloads that help in retraining your brain.

Rick is offering some online dialogues to talk about the latest in his work and research. His work is quite fascinating....

Great post Rick. I stay positive as long as possible spinning bad to good on a regular basis. I try to pass on this positive attitude all day, everyday.
