Episode 69 - Negativity Bias

Fertile Ground: A mind-body approach to getting pregnant - without it taking over your life.

What if I told you that there is a program inside of your brain that is VERY unfair? Something that worked for our ancestors. A program inside of their brain that ensured they would survive. A program that helped them to live, find food and focus on threats, so that you could be here right now. But now-- in 2021 -- this program is a bug. In today’s podcast, we’re chatting about this internal program called: The Negativity Bias. It’s the reason we so easily shrug off the raise we received from our boss and talk all night about the co-worker who said the wrong thing. The reason we get a good fertility report from the doctor and focus on the one hormone that’s normal but “could be better”. The reason why we can’t sit in emotions of pleasure. Emotions of relief. Emotions of safety. Because we’re literally HARD-wired to focus on the negative. But this can change (if you want to be happier and healthier) and you’ll learn the exact steps in this weeks podcast. You’ll learn how: To spot the negative bias in your own brain. The negativity bias affects your nervous system. The simple process to overcome this programming (even if you’re a perfectionist) to strengthen your mind-body connection and of course, your fertility. It’s interesting, because what was once necessary for your survival, is now worth changing for the next generation we’re about to bring in. Evolution is pretty damn cool. Listen now!
