The quotes from blog readers are still coming so here is another thought-provoking quote that I have been sent:
'Dead people receive more flowers than the living ones, because regret is stronger than gratitude.'
Unfortunately it is very true that regret is often stronger than gratitude, because negative emotions and thoughts tend to have a greater impact for us than positive ones. This is scientifically known as the negativity bias. Luckily there are some strategies we can use to antagonise this tendency towards negativity- like more often consciously appreciating things that we are grateful for. More on this will follow end of next week.
On Friday we will first continue to look into how our personalities and individual mindsets influence what we need for our well-being.
Have a great wee until then,
Petra
