TODAY'S LEARNING
3 Actionable Hacks To Stop Negative Thinking

Understanding the “why” behind your actions, responses, reactions, and behavior is necessary for your well-being. More often than not, negativity stems from our mishandling of situations than from the actual circumstances. These 3 hacks are worth trying. Here are three methods supported by science to avoid thinking negatively:

1. Choose an alternative for complaints

Studies suggest that habitual complaining can adversely affect the hippocampus part of the brain responsible for thinking and intelligence. Furthermore, you will develop intrusive and negative thought habits as a result of this. However, issues must also be resolved. You can attempt to resolve the issue by concentrating on its causes. Most often, instead of expressing our feelings, we accuse others of making us feel that way. It fails to provide you with the necessary clarity.

2. Embrace gratitude

Are you aware of the suggestions of Martin Seligman, the father of positive psychology? You can try his “3 blessings” exercise. You reflect on three positive events in your life on that day and write them down. Practicing regularly can help you reduce stress and also lessen the chances of depression. As a modification, you can keep a journal of good and positive events in your life. However, that does not imply that you have to adopt an optimistic outlook on something wrong and unjust. You must ponder on such matters, just not in a way that makes you drained, exhausted, stressed, angry, and depressed. Your physical health may be impacted in the long run by it.

  1. Watch what you’re watching (and reading)

In addition to emphasizing positivity in your social contacts, you should be aware of the messages you are exposed to via social media and the media as well as other avenues. Watching, reading, or listening to ongoing negative coverage can leave you feeling further isolated and depressed, and can increase symptoms of acute stress. Aim to assess information critically, and obtain your information from a wide variety of contributors with different viewpoints. Just leave the site or unsubscribe from any sources that you feel are too harsh or harmful.

POSITIVE NEWS OF THE DAY

A critically endangered whale was spotted in Ireland

Conservationists are elated and a little mystified after a critically endangered North Atlantic right whale was spotted in Donegal Bay, Ireland.

The species was hunted to oblivion in Irish waters and has not been seen in the region for more than a century – until a holidaymaker filmed one this week.

There are thought to be fewer than 400 North Atlantic right whales left in the world, and those that remain generally live off the eastern coast of the US and Canada.

“The outlook for their survival isn’t good, as both ship strike and entanglement in fishing gear remove individuals from a dwindling population annually,” said Pádraig Whooley, sightings officer for the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group.

However, this week’s sighting, while mysterious, offered a “glimmer of hope” for the beleaguered species, said researcher Dr Conor Ryan.
