If you’re the negative, skeptical type - you’re doing your brain a great disservice.
According to Barbara Fredrickson, a positive psychology researcher at the University of North Carolina, negative emotions program your brain to do a specific action: to shut off the outside world and limit the options you see around you. It’s a useful response in survival mode but falling into a pattern of negative thinking can paralyze productivity and leave you at a real disadvantage.
Positive thinking, on the other hand, can do wonders for your brain. Positive emotions broaden your sense of possibilities and literally open your mind, making it easier to find solutions and increase your odds of survival and success in everyday life.
