Better Emotional Regulation for Better Living

Even when life is going well, do you catch yourself scanning for what’s not perfect? That little voice that fixates on the one thing that went wrong, the email you didn’t get, the offhand comment, the 10% of your day that wasn’t ideal? That’s not just a mood, it’s a habit. A deeply wired, ingrained habit. In this part 1 of 2, I explore why negativity is so persistent, even when we consciously want to feel better. From ancient survival instincts to emotional conditioning, I break down the root cause of our negative bias and why your brain might still be scanning the bushes for tigers even in the middle of a peaceful day. Because happiness isn't just something you find, it's something you practice. And breaking free from negativity starts by understanding it.

Visit: http://harrydcohen.com/ Harry D. Cohen explores what he refers to as "Heliotropic Leadership". An intentional practice that emphasis the benefits of compassion, gratitude, and forgiveness. "Be The Sun Not The Salt" Cohen is an independent management consultant, personal leadership coach, author and psychologist. A compelling keynote speaker and advisor on the importance of trust, personal authenticity, leadership, and high performance; subjects he speaks to audiences about around the world. He is the author of ‘Secrets of the Obvious’, a book that challenges our age-old assumption that personal improvement is an overly complex process that is difficult and challenging. His concentration is on interpersonal behaviors and the effect they have on either building or breaking down walls of communication between individuals or within large groups. Harry’s simple message is that there are universal and undeniable principles that when understood and followed can guide our behaviors in ways that yield great results. For example, authenticity and honesty breed trust. This principle unfortunately often gets lost under the burdens of leadership. But it is fundamental for all leaders to find this thread within themselves and to seize it. Doing so is to find the very best about ourselves.

Channel 4's Matt Frei engages Pinker in a frank discussion of his work and its critics.

There’s a reason that insults stick with us longer than compliments. Is the glass half full or half empty? 🥛 Turns out, the way that you present a situation to people can really change how they feel about it — our brains tend to fixate on the negative aspects over the positive ones.
