Haritosh Srivastav explains why negative thinking comes naturally to humans through evolution. To build a positive mindset, he recommends deliberate practices: reading uplifting books, listening to podcasts, and watching inspirational videos.
Do you feel you often think negative? Do you feel you get into negative spiral of thoughts? Now here is the truth I want to tell you. You are absolutely normal. We as humans are wired to think negative. You see, at the primitive time when we were just evolving, thinking negative was advantageous because we were able to gauge and assess any risk, any problem that were coming to us. That was the reason we did not become the lunch, breakfast, or dinner of any predators. So thinking negative is natural and it is completely okay. Now if you have to switch To thinking positive and inspired, you have to make conscious effort. What you can do is you can start reading good books, you can listen to good podcasts, you can watch some inspirational video. That way you are working continuously to feel positive and inspired.
