21 - Use Negativity, Positively

thinklife with kalaboukis - being a better human

When we get hit with negative feedback, we sometimes have this tendency to use that negativity to let ourselves off the hook. For example, if you are trying to lose weight, you get on the scale and the number is lower than last time - you feel great. But if its higher, we use that to beat ourselves up over it, and maybe even make things worse. If you use any negative feedback instead as a reminder to do better, then it loses a lot of its power. Like in craps, the same shooter keeps playing while the table is winning, but as soon as they roll a losing roll, move on to the next shooter.
