The Power of Gratitude and Overcoming Negativity Bias
Negativity bias causes us to focus on the negative experiences, overshadowing the positive ones, leading to embitterment and unrealistic perspectives. Being absorbed by trivial complaints, such as airline food quality or temperature, obscures the reality of our privileged lives. Practicing gratitude, through reflection and journaling, can shift our focus from resentment, anger, and fear to conscious, metacognitive acknowledgment of the sources of good, ultimately leading to an enhanced appreciation of life.
