Daily Productive Sharing 105 - How to Deal With Negative Thoughts?
(The English version follows)
我们在本周一的分享中曾经提及了一些认知困境，其中的 Zeigarnik Effect 是指我们不由自主地倾向记住未完成的任务。如果我们更加抽象地来看待这一问题，可以说我们更容易被负面事件所影响。今天的分享正好介绍了这一问题，已经如何应对。

In general, negative events have a bigger impact on our mental state than positive ones.
Neuroscience studies show that negative stimuli elicit a much stronger response in the brain than positive or neutral stimuli, and even three‐month‐olds show a negativity bias in their social interactions.
Research suggests that we tend to make decisions based on negative information more than positive data.
How to create a more positive outlook for yourself:
- Pay attention. The first and perhaps most important step is to be aware of this common bias.
- Make space for self-reflection.
- Establish positive routines.
- Use mental models.

We had mentioned some cognitive dilemmas in Monday's share, where the Zeigarnik Effect is our involuntary tendency to remember unfinished tasks. If we look at this issue more abstractly, we can say that we are more easily affected by negative events. Today's share introduces this problem and how to deal with it already.
