You're hardwired for negativity bias

Our brains are designed to pick out & focus on what's wrong! But with neuroplasticity & practice, you can retrain your brain to focus on the positive and be less miserable lol

I'm curious: you wrote for Ant-Man & there's drums he plays. Did/do you play ? https://youtu.be/iCv0AOlBPog?si=OC1ylz6Cw1sALAZt

How's your ears ? Khan didn't put one of those worms in your ear again: i hope.

I named him "Wolf" as I found him Halloween running out of a bush into the front yard. He's grey, Halloween, so "Wolf". But of course, he's a tiny baby, as all fury kids are always tiny babies, thus, Wolfie...

My pride of 8 kittens did appreciate the 8-pack of nuggets I picked up for them: thanks to you and Wolife. Is that wolf in another language ? 2024Y12M17D 0614H(GMT-5H).

I remember criticizing your work at first in 2019, & you made a video shortly after which covered 3 hated types of comms: which put me in my place within one of those three. It took me months before I would say another word. I did apologize for nitpicking & offering ideas to improve after there's no going back. On top of humans naturally being sensitive to criticism, I didn't yet know: you're relatively extra-sensitive. The video dissappeared shortly after. I figured it was taken down, but I now wonder if that still happened in this timeline rewritten. It's not mission-critical that either of us know, but I am curious: do you recall that event ? I somehow got on the story with my mom about when my throat-infection closed my airway & she drove me to a local hospital before being air-lifted to surgical. She corrected me on my version of events & our stories were different. In my version, which she had told me before, she said she wasn't able to wake me & I only recall waking up in the hospital, but she says now that I was awake during the ride. She woke in the middle of the night with intuition that she needed to check on me while i was sick on the couch. I asked her, "Do you suppose that my guardian-spirits woke you, but had to go back in time to do a better job again to minimize the damage to my throat for my mission ? I may not even be the same exact son you remember.". My poor mother is devout, & although she believes in angels, she still has difficulty accepting that angels are in my life, taking a literal form or body to tell me I've been dying repeatedly & to avoid the person who's killed me. I was even surprised that the chaplin in the jail did believe in demons & angels, but was quick to dismiss & prescribe 10 Hail-Mary's. Schizophrenic hallucinations can be single episodes like that, but i argue that if I was schizo or delulu, these kind of events would be more consistent and manifest throughout my life, but.. I haven't seen, felt, or heard anything: outside of these few instances where i might require their intervention or air-support for 3 exorcisms so far. Exorcisms upon patients who believe they are possessed, but also believe they were exorcised, those patients do improve, which makes exorcism a valid treatment: regardless of whether it's real or placebo. I would argue that exorcism has a place & shouldn't only be considered as a last resort after doctors have tried everything else. Got my lab results & I'm critically low on CoQ10. 10 per day & my brain-fog should start lifting. Glycine should also help with my feet so I'll be able to stand longer without them feeling bruised & numb/cold. I would use an electro-shock device on my feet for neuropathy, but research papers have shown these devices to be a root-cause of "Lou Gehrig's disease". It's documented that Lou's coach had him heavily using muscle-shockers. Another disclosure reserved for the TYT fundraiser. 2024Y12M16D 1640H(GMT-5H).

You can also see some "negative" things more of in the context of risk-management, i.e. things to reduce, avoid, manage, etc. Then you can feel good about yourself even only partially dealing with them, because that is still the path to full control and partial success is still success. Many people struggle with this, so good job explaining things!

Also, also, also... I just wanted to make a comment with 3 alsos to commit to the bit... Deal with it, people... :P

James Ditto

Also, also, this perfectly frames today's world, doesn't it?

James Ditto

Also, gonna have to ask you not to call me out in these vids. Very rude, Anna... :P

Ah, Benji is a twin for my Wolife. With a few less pounds. He likes nuggers, what can I say?

I developed this little technique to help me recognize when I’m being negative. I tell myself “people are” then I finish the sentence with three adjectives, once I have those 3 adjectives I take a step back and look to see if those three statements are negative or positive, from there I adjust my mindset accordingly! It’s actually help me establish not only my way of thinking but my new boundaries and recognition of the type of people I let into my life and circle!

SO common!!! And it always helps me to remember that's what my brain is designed to do by default, so that unless I actively work on it, it'll go back to that

I noticed that recently! My sisters have a tendency to see the negative first and react to that! I told them to stop and well they are trying but I don’t think they realize how common that way of thinking is
