Welcome to the MWF Motivation Podcast.

I am Rob Dyle, which you probably already know, but if you have not yet done so, please subscribe to us however you listen to us so you never miss an episode.

And also, please share this with a friend because we are trying to change the world one person at a time.

Today's episode should be a pretty quick episode and I am going to talk about why we remember negative stuff more than we remember all of the positive stuff.

And I want to preface it by saying this, I am just a guy who did not graduate college because I decided to drop out because there was no value in it for me.

So I have no degree in psychology. I don't study people's brains or do any of these types of things, but I do know that there's a lot of reasons why we're negative versus positive.

And I want to share those with you.

So I try to think of everything that happens as far as a caveman.

Why do we do all of the things that we do?

And what happened thousands of years ago that made us act and be the way that we are.

And I try to think of why would we be negative and why would remember negative stuff and hold on to all of the negative instead of focusing on all the positive stuff.

And if you listen to the episode that last came out where I talk about the positive self talk, there's going to be some stuff that kind of overlaps, but these two episodes are going to go together.

And what it is is this, the reason why we think negative and remember the negative stuff is because when we were back in 1,000, 2,000 years ago, whenever it was when there was caveman or there's people that were going around and picking berries.

And there was, you know, before we had all of the stuff that we have now that makes our lives as great as it is, we have homes and ways to protect ourselves and not being eaten by animals.

All of these things we had to remember all of the bad. So therefore, if somebody, if, you know, our friend John had a bad berry and John dies, well, then we want to remember that bad berry so that we don't have that bad berry and die as well.

Or if we go a certain way, we're walking down the through the forest and we see, hey, this is where that pack of of lions. This is where they all live.

Well, then we want to remember that. That's a negative thing we want to remember so that we don't go by that pack of lions again.

So we remembered that stuff thousands of years ago, but now it doesn't service as much to remember all of the negative.
