On this episode of The Rural Mindset Podcast™ I talk about combating negative thought patterns. We dig a little bit into the neuroscience behind why it is important to address negative thought patterns through looking at the Baader Meinhof Phenomenon or Red Car Bias, which is when your brain pays attention to something simply because you have primed your Reticular Activating System (RAS) to filter through information. This complex is also known as the Red Car Bias, because it is frequently referred to when you're purchasing a new car. If you're looking at a red Toyota car, then you'll start seeing red Toyota cars everywhere. This applies to mental health, because if you are always paying attention to how bad things are, the negative parts of life, or never looking on the positive/bright side or practicing gratitude, you will always find something wrong and see the negative side of things. You'll often feel down, overwhelmed and well... negative. Hosted by Erica Leniczek B.Sc., B.Ed., CPT, Mindful Educator, Psychological & Mental Health First-Aider, Rancher, Agvocate.
