Let's Get This Negativity Party Started (audio) Brenton Weathers

Ever feel like the world is one giant dumpster fire and you're just waiting for the flames to reach you?

Well, guess what, science has your back!

Turns out, even a few minutes of doom-scrolling or soaking up negative news in the morning can turn your whole day into one big fat bummer.

There was a study done a few years ago, where folks watched a measly three minutes of bad news and their risk of having a "lousy day" shot up by 30%.

Sounds crazy, right? But it’s all too true.

Negativity is contagious, infecting your mood and your outlook.

Now, I'm not saying we all need to go live in a cave and pretend the world is sunshine, unicorns, and lollipops.

But here's the thing: while we can't control every negative thing that happens around us, we CAN control what we let into our heads.

Think of it like your mental diet.

You wouldn't eat food from a garbage can all day and expect to feel amazing now would you?

Same goes for your brain – too much negativity, and it's gonna get sluggish and very grumpy.

It's time to ditch the mental junk food and choose something healthier!

So, my challenge to you my friend is to choose to start the day with a good dose of positive news. Give it a try! πŸ™‚
