You're not alone—negativity bias is built into our biology. But here's the thing: you have the power to rewire your brain, break free from that cycle, and start living a life filled with more positivity, growth, and peace. In this episode, I’ll dive into the science behind negativity bias, why our brains are hardwired to focus on threats and problems, and how that mindset keeps us from reaching our full potential. I’ll walk you through the evolutionary roots of this bias, how it shows up in your day-to-day life, and—most importantly—how you can start shifting your mindset to focus on opportunities, solutions, and gratitude. Together, we’ll explore practical strategies and simple habit changes that will retrain your brain to embrace the positive. I’ll also share insights on how you can create an environment that supports your mental well-being so you can stop feeding into that endless cycle of stress, fear, and anxiety.

But how were they getting away with this? How is it that they could market a product as containing pumpkin without even adding pumpkin to it?

When you exercise, your body secretes chemicals which will activate and connect the tissue in your face. Thus, when you lift weights, you're actually stimulating collagen in your face.
However, you can also exercise the skin topically. What I mean by that is that exercising only helps with the top layer of the skin. If you want to treat the skin cells that are at the lower levels, you need to go further than that.
We know that when you exercise the muscles, you're tearing the muscles up and then the muscles grow back. Well, the skin has its own version of tearing up the muscles. It’s called exfoliation.
With exfoliation, you are removing dead cells off of the surface, and sending signals down the lower living cells that they can pump new cells to the top, revealing newer looking and more radiant skin.
To learn how you can properly exfoliate your skin, tune into the latest episode of The Darin Olien Show with Ben Fuchs.Emotions: Are They Making You Vulnerable to Manipulation?Darin Olien2023-08-27 | Are you able to detach yourself from your emotions?
