One of the most profound influences on our thoughts, and therefore on our lives, is something called the negativity bias.
\\nThe negativity bias is the unconscious inclination of our mind to notice the negative over the positive.
\\nIt doesn\\u2019t mean we actually experience more negative things in our lives.
\\nWe just notice the negative more than the positive.
\\nSo when we pay attention to the positive aspects of our lives through gratitude and compassion practices, we create a balance of our thoughts and open ourselves up to the potential we never considered before.
\\nWe can see pleasure in the mundane aspects of life.
\\nWe can see the benefit of even the most difficult experiences of our lives.
\\nAnd we can see the good in the most hurtful people.
\\nThis ability is a skill. And like any other skill, it is trainable.
\\nWould you like to learn some simple practices to train these skills in your life?
