How To Stop Being So Negative And Skillfully Become More Positive

Episode Summary

In this episode of The Alcohol-Free Advantage Podcast, Andy Ramage dives into the negativity bias—the built-in survival instinct that makes your brain focus on the bad instead of the good. He explains why this happens and, more importantly, how to rewire your thinking for a more positive, resilient, and fulfilling life.


What You’ll Learn in This Episode

  • Why your brain is hardwired for negativity (and how to override it).
  • The science of gratitude and how it shifts your mindset.
  • A simple habit used by the US military to train mental resilience.


Quotable Moments

  • “Your brain isn’t against you—it’s just running an outdated survival programme.”
  • “What you focus on grows. Train yourself to hunt the good stuff.”
  • “You can’t eliminate negativity, but you can learn to manage it.”


Why This Episode Matters


Negativity bias is real—but it’s not a life sentence. By understanding how it works, you can break free from negative thinking and create a mindset that fuels growth, happiness, and success.
