Positive > Negative
Learn to focus on positive signals and to discount negative ones. It’s natural to have a “negativity bias” that causes us to pay more attention to disapproval than to positive reinforcement. When this happens, focus on the positive things going on. Imagine leading a discussion in one of the group support rooms. You’ll be nervous about all the things that could go wrong but instead concentrate on the people who are there for you and looking for healing within the discussion. You’re bettering their lives by providing them a positive experience.
