Summary

How to Deal with Negativity

There can be a lot of negativity that we get exposed to throughout the day. A stranger flips us off as we are commuting to work, and we watch ugly human behaviors that show up on our phone scrolling. The key is to not dwell on the negative behaviors of others and redirect our focus on the "positive" events around us.

0:00.0	Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. Sometimes there can be a lot of
0:09.9	negativity in our world. If we're looking for it, we can even find more. And sadly, these days, because
0:17.4	of our phones, sometimes when people are exposed to negative events, they pull out their phones, take pictures of it, and then post the
0:24.9	videos on the internet so everyone can see all over the world.
0:29.4	It's very easy to be exposed to negativity if we're not careful.
0:34.8	And I want to talk today about being careful because negative energy, negative emotions,
0:40.7	negativity will impact us. We can't blindly watch negative events and not be
0:47.0	affected by them. Think of it this way. Let's say you like to swim as I do and
0:51.6	I swim pretty often. If I went to my pool in the morning

1:00.4	I'm going to be able to swim in that pool and come out exactly like I went in the pool.
1:05.0	But if that pool hasn't been maintained, it now has fungus, it now has bacteria,
1:10.0	and now has all types of things growing in it that are not good for me.
1:14.0	If I swim in that pool, I'm going to come out infected by some of those diseases and it could negatively impact me.
1:20.0	So first off, why would we even expose ourselves to test the negativity if we know at some
1:26.5	level there's going to be adverse effects to that exposure? Why would we even do that?
1:32.2	Well the first thing is, it is interesting.
1:35.0	What I mean by that is, it stimulates our perception,
1:38.0	and we say, oh, what is that?
1:40.0	What's going on here?
1:42.0	That's why we like movies and television. They stimulate us and make us curious.
1:46.5	They make us see things that we may never see unless we were exposed to it and that exposure creates curiosity.
