About this episode

On this episode of UnF*ck Your Brain, we take a look at why our brain is so good at remembering and focusing on negative outcomes and not so great at conjuring up good ones and how that affects our mind chatter. Discover how you can begin rewiring your brain out of the deeply ingrained habit of focusing on the negative to focus more on the thoughts that serve you and move you closer to where you want to go.
