This is a common human tendency called hedonic adaptation. It means we adjust to both positive and negative experiences. The bad news? We tend to focus more on the negative thoughts.
Think about a recent accomplishment. Can you recall the details with the same vividness as a setback? Our brains store negative experiences more readily, creating a “Netflix of negative memories” that can fuel pessimism and burnout.
The good news? We can train our brains to savor positive experiences, building resilience for the inevitable challenges life throws our way. Here’s how:
By savoring positive experiences, we create a richer catalog of positive memories. This mental “memory bank” acts as a buffer against negativity, making us more resilient when things get tough.
It’s about creating a balanced mental landscape where both positive and negative experiences are acknowledged and processed effectively.
So, the next time something good happens in your life, take a moment to savor it. You’re building mental strength for the future, one positive memory at a time.
