Is Negativity Benign

Is Negativity Benign

Is Negativity Benign?  Regardless if it is benign OR not, NEGATIVITY is NOT welcomed OR recommended in our daily lives.  Complaining and venting only helped so that the NEGATIVE feelings lasted longer.  BUT studies by psychology experts offered a glimmer of hope that NEGATIVITY is NOT 100% bad after all📗📙📘

This is NOT to encourage NEGATIVITY around us but amongst others, the studies led to the following results:

• GRUMPY negotiators were more effective
• PESSIMISTIC married people were able to cope with problems and ended up with longer marriages than OPTIMISTIC ones
• Self-employed PESSIMISTS earned more than self-employed OPTIMISTS

To lookup at recent neuroscience studies, when we are grumpy, frustrated OR angry, that 'AMYGDALA' in our brain kicks in, sparking chemical signals that boost your heart rate and end up flooding your body with ADRENALINE.  All along, this is WHY we often hear that ADRENALINE RUSH.  In layman's terms, it is like we get fired up, our motivation increases, our determination increases, and it even encourages us to THINK OUT OF THE BOX.   A Social Psychology study showed that being kind of pissed off OR irritated resulted in coming up with more creative ideas💧💧💧

From a neuroscience perspective, experts share that your AMYGDALA interprets feelings of grumpiness, irritation OR anger as a sign of trouble and then, it 'deploys' chemical resources to help you deal with the situation.  And setting neuroscience aside, neutral psychologists have that 'PESSIMIST' model who foresees a bleak future ahead and as a result, prepares to brace for it.  So, instead of PESSIMISM shoving someone by the wayside, it challenges one to overcome and solve problems💥💥💥

Here's a cheat sheet from the experts.  Let us list a few things that frustrate us.  Your business.  Your investments.  OR maybe your shopping habits.  That simple act of listing things that make you grumpy will cause your AMYGDALA to marshal physical and cognitive resources to help you think of ways to improve your situation.  Yes dude, NEGATIVITY is benign😀😀😀
