Awareness is key, right? I always say that. And our negativity bias is an evolutionary bias for protection.

So our primitive brains were more likely to keep us safe back in the day if they were always on the lookout for anything that was dangerous or anything that might harm us or eat us up.

And the reality, the good news, is that we're no longer in daily danger of being eaten by

wild beasts, right?

But our brain doesn't necessarily know that.

So we have to remind our brain that we're safe.

And we have to come against that pattern of negativity bias and intentionally rewire our brains to look for the good.

Welcome back to the motherhood podcast, a live workshop style podcast that is helping

thousands of moms redefine their motherhood journey. There was a point in my life when I was

trying to do all the things, parent my kids, pour into my marriage, run a busy law practice, keep up my home.

And what I found was that I was on the fast track to burnout, until I discovered a better way.

Now I help women just like you to close the gap between their vision of motherhood and what they're actually

experiencing in their day-to-day lives. Together, we'll explore when and where to simplify,

systemize, and surrender. I promise you, you're already doing so much better than you think.

I'm your coach, Michelle Grosscer, and this is Motherhood.

Thanks for joining us for another Motherhood Monday episode.

I'm your motherhood coach, Michelle Grocer, and I am so grateful that you're here.

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to join me as we talk

about optimism today and how we can raise optimistic kids. It's been my experience that where my

focus goes, my energy flows. You guys heard that one before? It's kind of that choice to see the world

half full or half empty, right?

It's our perspective and it really is a choice.
