b"Welcome to The Big Idea of the Week!\\n\\xa0\\nOn today\\u2019s Broken Brain Podcast, our host, Dhru Purohit shares a simple gratitude practice to help supercharge and accelerate our goals and dreams.\\xa0\\nAt the end of the year many of us set New Year's resolutions or an intention for how we want the next year to go. Dhru shares that he sees an interesting pattern as people start to list out their goals and dreams, priorities, habits, and the things they want to give attention and energy to. In the background, there\\u2019s this subtle sense of doubt, worry, fear, and hopelessness. Dhru believes this doubt comes from looking backwards and the way we perceive past experiences. Dr. Rick Hanson, a past podcast guest says, \\u201cThe brain is like Velcro for negative experiences, but Teflon for positive ones.\\u201d Our brains have a negativity bias, and it\\u2019s tied to our evolution. Our modern brain has evolved to prioritize bad experiences, and deprioritize positive ones.\\xa0\\nDhru shares three questions to ask ourselves before we set our goals, which he calls a palette cleanse, that will help us remember that no matter how we feel we did at the end of the month or year, we did the best we could. It also gives us an opportunity to remember how supported we were, and what we did to help other people.\\nNow matter how big or small\\u2026\\n1) What\\u2019s something tough or challenging that I did this month?\\n2) Who\\u2019s someone that did something for me?\\n3) What\\u2019s something nice I did for someone else?\\nWhen you remember these three things it changes your vibration for what you think is possible, and takes you out of negativity bias into positivity bias.\\xa0\\nTony Hsieh, the CEO of Zappos who recently passed away said, \\u201cNo matter what your past has been, you have a spotless future.\\u201d\\nAlso mentioned in today\\u2019s episode:\\n-https://www.rickhanson.net/take-in-the-good/\\nFor more on Dhru Purohit, be sure to follow him on Instagram @dhrupurohit, on Facebook @dhruxpurohit, on Twitter @dhrupurohit, and on YouTube @dhrupurohit.
