1 . How you talk to yourself about events, experiences and people plays a large role in shaping how you interpret events. When you find yourself interpreting something in a negative way or only focusing on the bad aspect of the situation, look for ways to talk about the events in a more positive light.     1     Instead, it simply means refocusing so that you give fair and equal importance to good events.

When you find yourself worrying about things, look for an uplifting activity to pull yourself out of this negative mindset(心态)     2     In this case, try to turn your attention elsewhere and engage in an activity that brings you joy. Listening to cheerful music, going for a walk, and reading a good book are all ways to get your mind off negative thoughts.

    3     Therefore, it is important to give extra attention to good things that happen. Where negative things might be quickly transferred and stored in your long-term memory, you need to make more efforts to get the same effect from happy moments.     4    Replay the moment several times in your memory and focus on the wonderful feelings the memory inspires.

The negativity bias (偏见) can have a powerful impact on your behavior, but being aware of it means you can take steps to adopt a more positive outlook on life. One of the best ways to combat negative bias is taking a more mindful approach involving being aware of your own tendency toward negativity and consciously elevating (使情绪高昂) happier thoughts to the forefront of awareness.     5    Taking steps to avoid this bias can play a role in boosting your mental well-being.
