Negativity Bias: Planet Peace may have been done, let's make peace with the negativity bias in the new year

- Shabda Samhita-Paresh Vyas

- Breaking the chain of negativity is very important. It takes five positives to balance one negative.

Why do people tolerate every mode of Ruk Ruk Ke?

If you are so afraid, then why do you leave the house?

The word of the year is chosen as the year comes to an end. If someone asks, how was the year? - that word should be said. Like Collins Dictionary's word-of-the-year permacrisis (permanent crisis). Such as the Oxford Dictionary's globin mode (self-serving, lazy, lazy, and scumbags in disregard of social norms). Like the Merriam Webster dictionary's gaslighting (controlling the minds of others for personal gain). Other terms were also discussed: quiet quitting (doing just enough to do, not from the heart), productivity paranoia (the paranoia of executives that the employee is a workaholic). All are negative words, aren't they?!!

Was the year just gone that bad? Of course it was. There were many rapes. Killed in Thande College. Suicide also happened. Also, inflation is hitting, again and again. The rich got richer and the poor got poorer. Judiciary and the elected government, considered the third and first fiefdom of democracy, want the good of the people, but in it, it is now happening in public. And some factors in the fourth fiefdom make the words 'dock media' scream. No, the term 'dock judiciary' is not yet in circulation. Ravish Kumar should try for that but right! Now you say, did any good work happen during the last year? Just think.. Hey bro! Even if you think about it, you won't remember it. Because even if it happened somewhere, our brain doesn't focus on positive things. If a positive story is printed in the press, it is not read, if it is read, it is not remembered. And criticism, resentment, resentment, hatred, hatred, boycott, animosity are read, go viral and are remembered. It is a fact that our culture is a dirty culture and such negative news is read or discussed. And such negative things stay in our mind overnight. Sometimes a compulsion takes over the mind permanently. Remember the story of 'the camel and the Arab'? The camel felt cold in the winter night. Its Arab owner was sleeping in a tent. The camel requested the Arab to let him keep his mouth inside, bhai saab, bau chila vagati hai. Taking pity, the Arab allowed the camel to be kept in a tent on the dock. Then slowly the camel crept in and then kicked the Arab out of the tent. At present, positive stories or positive news have been thrown out of the tent of our mind in the same way. And our word of the day is responsible for that: Negativity Bias.

Negativity means negativity. And bias means creating a prejudice or a fixed belief or a biased attitude towards someone. Negativity Bias means bias towards negativity. That we have a special bias towards negativity. Negativity creeps up on us. Our suwang takes over. A careful man is always happy - there is a saying. Our forefathers may have mentioned only the male as a warning, believing that the female is always aware! Now alert means to pay attention to negative matter. Can anything bad or wrong happen to me? Not to be alarmed by a good thing. So there is no need to notice the good thing. What is bad or wrong in society, in religion, in work, in business?- I have to find the refusal to remove the curd from the milk. This is the negativity bias. The answer to the questions asked in the lines quoted at the head of the article is also the same.

Denial is given more attention. We are more sensitive to rejection. If you remember like this, you don't forget the moment you were insulted, but you don't remember the moment someone respected you. We do anything to see that we are not harmed.

However, we are not ready to work hard for the same if we are getting the same benefit. Earning a hundred rupees is not the joy it should be, but if you lose a hundred rupees, the pain is many times greater. And why does it hurt? We put all our energy into avoiding harm. We believe that it does not matter if Doshi dies but when the house is destroyed. And so we are trying to keep Doshi alive on ventilator. And if a man has done a hundred things well, but if one thing is not done well, then that man falls into the category of man-not-right.

What to do? Talk to yourself. I am my best friend. We are tying friends, wishing them well. Just in the same way keep telling ourselves the good things that we have experienced. And bro, something must have been good. Millions will be in despair, some immortal hope. You see! It is very important to break this chain of negativity. Psychologist John Gottman gives the rule of 5th1. It takes five positives to balance one negative. Life's math is hard, Sayab! But release only after passing. Is every negative thing really negative? Check if our filter is working properly or needs to be serviced? Experts say that if someone has done something good for us, we should thank him. How about making such a note in the daily life of a grateful person?

Remainder of the word:

'No one forces anyone to be negative and similarly no one forces anyone to be positive. It is a matter of personal choice and this decision falls solely within the individual's own jurisdiction.'
