As humans, we're hard-wired to think negatively 🙅🏻

This natural inbuilt mechanism is what helped our ancestors from being killed by environmental threats thousands of years ago - threats that we no longer need to worry about.

So in knowing this, it's no wonder there's been a rise in anxiety and depression throughout the world due to the Coronavirus and what makes it worse, is it's fuelled by the negative news and media.

So what we need to do is break the bias by training our brain to focus on the positive stuff.

Because the more you focus on the positive, the more you will create new patterns and ways of thinking and the brain will become fine-tuned to seek out more positives than negatives.

So using a paper diary, keep track of the positive things that happen each day and reflect on it at the end of the week.

👉🏻 When you wake up, write down 3-5 things you're grateful for
👉🏻 Before you go to bed, write down 3-5 things that went well that day on the Sunday page
👉🏻 On Sunday, take 5 minutes to read and reflect on the things that you were grateful for and the things that went well and focus on these positive feelings
