Your brain has an algorithm too… 🧠 Just like social media shows you more of what you repeatedly watch, your brain’s reticular activating system (RAS) helps filter what you notice and pay attention to. Focus constantly on negativity → you start noticing more negativity. It’s like wearing black glasses. The world didn’t become darker—your filter changed. You can’t control every thought, but you can control what you repeatedly feed your attention. Change your focus. Change what you consume. Change your perspective. Save this for the next time your mind gets stuck in negativity.
