Did you know the brain 🧠 handles positive and negative information in different hemispheres?
Negative emotions generally involve more thinking, and the information is processed more thoroughly than positive ones.
This is why we tend to ruminate more about unpleasant events and use stronger words to describe them than happy ones. 💥
Here is where repeating positive affirmations throughout your day can be a useful tool.
Affirmations help to “rewire” your brain by focusing on peaceful intentions instead of being stuck in loops of anger, guilt and sadness.
⭕️
If you have been struggling with holding on to a grudge, a bad experience, or a betrayal.
