Tilt toward the positive, which is not looking at the world through rose-colored glasses. Given the negativity bias in the brain, you're only leveling the playing field.
Painful experiences range from subtle discomfort to extreme anguish — and there is a place for them. Sorrow can open the heart,But is there really any shortage of suffering in this world? Look at the faces of others — including mine — or your own in the mirror, and see the marks of weariness, irritation,, disappointment, longing, and worry.
So, don’t take painful experiences lightly, neither the ones you get nor, honestly, the ones you give. Prevent them when you can and help them pass through when you can’t.This week take a stand for yourself, for feeling as good as you reasonably can. A stand for bearing painful experiences when they walk through the door — and a stand for encouraging them to keep on walking all the way out of your mind.
This is not being at war with discomfort or distress, which would just add negativity, like trying to put out a fire with gasoline. Instead, it is being kind to yourself,I want you to feel better, and I’m going to help you.When emotional pain does come, even softly, try to hold it in a large space of awareness. In a traditional metaphor, imagine stirring a big spoon of salt into a cup of water and then drinking it: Yuck.
In your mind, watch out for how negative information, events, or experiences can seem to overpower positive ones. For example, researchers have found that people typically will work harder or put up with more crud to avoid losing something than to gain the same thing. And they feel more contaminated by one fault than they feel cleansed or elevated by several virtues. Try to switch this around; for instance, pick some of your good qualities and keep seeing how they show up in your life this week.
Overall, whenever you remember, deliberately tilt toward the positive in your mind. That’s not looking at the world through rose-colored glasses. Given the negativity bias in the brain, you’re only leveling the playing field.As the lines between real and fake blur, Americans increasingly chase the idea of authenticity. The first step may be to consider self-knowledge, truthfulness, and other building blocks on the road to personal growth.
