You Need A LOT Of Good News To Outweigh 1 Bad

You may not clearly remember the last 10 people who told you your hair looked nice or they liked your purse but you most certainly will remember that one chick on Facebook who told you your eyebrows looked like 2 sperms… a real thing that I was told once… strangers are so kind.

It turns out our brains have a thing called “negativity bias” that causes us to really latch onto bad news and keep it in there longer and sort of push away the good.  In fact- according to BaseLifeOnline it takes 5 more good things to counteract that one bad. So, maybe it’s time for us to start complimenting as many people as we can in our lives so that we can help them with their good/bad balance!

By the way… You look great today! 😉
