Overcoming your negativity bias
"Over and over,the mind reacts to bad things more quickly, strongly and persistantly than to equivalent good things.
It's evolutionarily adaptive for bad to be stronger than good.
"We construct our internal reality - our experience of the world - in large part by where we put our attention. More often than we recognize, we can make that choice consciously and intentionally. Doing so influences not just how we feel, but also how we perform, individually and collaboratively. It turns out that cultivating positive emotions such as joy, contentment, interest, pride and love pays huge dividends.
"Positive emotions broaden our scope of attention, cognition and action, and build physical, intellectual and social resources. Mario Losada, a researcher, studied some 60 business teams and found that the ratio of positive to negative comments
in the highest performing teams it was 5.6 to 1. In medium performing teams it was 1.9 to 1 and in low performing teams it
was .36 to 1, meaning three negative comments for every positive one. 'We need to have teams within organizations that are able to tap into liberating and creative power of positivity,' Mr. Losada has written. The notion is not to become an uncritical Pollyanna - but instead to practice 'realistic optimism'. That means telling yourself the most hopeful and empowerful story possible about any given situation without denying or minimizing the facts.
"Learning to put your attention where it serves you best requires the same sort of deliberate practice necessary to build
any new skill. The problem is that we grow up in a world that dosn't value the training of attention or the capacity to cultivate specific emotions.
"A simple starting place is simple self-awareness, because you cannot change what you don't notice. The more you are able to move your attention to what makes you feel good, the more capacity you'll have to manage whatever was making you feel bad
in the first place. Emotions are contagious, for better or worse. It's your choice."

Is the cup half-ful, or half-empty? Without self-awareness as a
starting point, we are evolutionally programed to see the world
half-empty.
