2. Know that our brain’s survival instinct always pushes us toward the negative
The most significant aspect of our brain’s survival instinct is that it always pushes us towards the negative. Why?
Our brains have yet to catch up to advancements in society. We understand blockchain and AI and how our iPhone works. But the survival instinct is more powerful than any of that.
Always remember, that at the end of the day, our brains are built to help us survive. So emotions are always stronger and more difficult to control in the negative because while we know Chat GTP isn’t the Terminator, our brains see Chat GTP as the sabretooth tiger we had to run from when we lived in caves and hunted with spears.
There's a psychological reason why our brain always pushes us about the negativity and there's a relation to it on how we're raised. Majority of us have been raised with parents that stops us from doing things and scaring us with people that we shouldn't.
Because of our naughtiness when we were kids, they tend to say that we should be afraid with the police as they're going to catch us even if we're not doing anything.
And that has been developed on our brains that before doing or stepping into something, we need to be careful because we might fail.
