When something get stuck somewhere in between our teeth, our tongue constantly keep on revisiting that spot. There are 28 crevices between our 32 teeth, but the tongue does not care for the other 27. It seems to keep on going to that one trouble-spot. Likewise is the nature of our mind. There are so many positive things happening around us, but our mind is fixated on the defects, lacks and troubles all around. This is the negativity bias of our mind that soon gravitate to our whole life, becomes our mindset and personality to rob all our happiness. This can be changed by changing our perspective. The Vedas say, the whole world is the veritable form of God. Simply by changing the way we perceive the world, we can see the wonders and miracles of the Creator God everywhere in the creation and feel overwhelmed with infinite bliss.🙏🙏🙏

[@rajeshsen5224]

guruji you great ❤❤❤❤❤Your examples are very good

[@JKYogAdmin]

Examples really help as they are easier to recall and implement the learning while in action in the world! Keep dropping your comments as we go through these series!

[@GuyzLikeMe]

Awesome!

[@vrindaneel2172]

Indeed! Especially the Tetris effect research gives me some hope - that I can reprogram the mind.

[@JKYogAdmin]

👍😇

[@tiashakonar4330]

Radhe radhe 🙏

[@kanishka379]

There's nothing good or bad in this world but the thinking makes it so. ❤️🙏Our mind is negatively bias and we blame the externals❤️🙏

[@JKYogAdmin]

👍 Now that we know we can sincerely work on fixing this mindset!

[@shankarnair9009]

...the negative bias beautifully explained🎉😊

[@JKYogAdmin]

🙏 Tetris effect exposes the way our mind works and gives up hope that we can fix our thinking patterns.

[@simmychaplot667]

Such an eye opening message! Inspires me to make it my most important task as of today - to get negativity bias under control. Loving every single episode of the Art and Science of Happiness! Eagerly waiting for Episode # 6

[@pandey11111]

our mind is such that it foucus on one negative thing in many positive and one problem in many blessings. Swamiji's advice to us is "Spiritual aspirants struggling to gain control over the mind should illumine the intellect with divine knowledge. This knowledge is received from the Guru and Scriptures. Then they must repeatedly contemplate over that knowledge through shravan, smaran and kirtan. Once their intellect becomes convinced about the knowledge that our Supreme goal is to love and serve God, there is nothing that can distract the mind."

[@nikita6995]

Jai ho Swamiji ki🙏🙏

[@sandhyadas6323]

Beautiful explanation by Swamiji on the negativity bias. Negativity bias plays a negative role in our life. He explains that our brain evolved to react much more strongly to negative experiences than positive one. But it adversely affects our body , mind and our life. It invites all types of anxiety, stress, bad health, broken relationship, misery etc. So to get out from this trap we must train our mind to think positive, to see positive and to speak positive.

[@kalashinaik9828]

Radhey Radhey 🙏 🙏

[@anitaramanna7506]

Sandwich technique sounds awesome, very practical. Knowledge about TETRIS EFFECT is first time never heard from anyone else before and can also be used to imbibe reframing positive attitudes. Instead of fault finding we can become good finders in others. When we change our attention towards positive things in our lives and ignore the negatives, things start to change soon!!!

[@joejoy9927]

Radhey Radhey

[@GamingGame228]

Hare krishna ❤💙

[@zpto12345]

Very nicely explained...not found such good explanation anywhere else...Swami Mukundanandaji...you are truely blessed, great and LORD KRISHNA sent

[@JKYogAdmin]

😇 We are truly blessed to have Swamiji as our mentor!

[@tittertatter906]

Negativity bias of the mind.. our mind only hoes to the one negative ignoring all the other positives..and gratitude is tge anecdote to kick away all the negativity.

[@JKYogAdmin]

That's a good idea! Also looking forward to the upcoming episode on positive reframing.

[@meenachauhan3703]

The sandwich approach seems to be very practical. The sugarcoated criticism ! The physiology of the working of mind is so well explained. Thank you,Swamiji for giving a different aspect of thinking !

[@tunilatagochhayat6161]

We always blame other for our misery, but it is our thinking which makes it so.

[@prativamayeemishra4505]

Very very important and beautiful video. Swamiji explained very nicely about Negative bias. I believe it is a common problem nowadays. Example of video game played in flight sentenced to jail is also amazing news. I hope most of us are not aware.

[@bidyabhusannayak4318]

Ther is neither good things nor bad things in the world. Our angle of vision make it so.

[@vikramprammod7498]

Very good

[@krishnatulsi4749]

It's true that there is neither good nor bad in the earth. Thinking manifests it. As many examples and experiments performed by various institutions were used by Swamiji to explain, if our minds are always thinking negatively, that will be who we are. Therefore, we should not tolerate the unfavourable conditions that lead to sorrow in our lives. Instead of that, if we begin to keep track of the benefits we receive from God on a daily basis, our lives would drastically alter, and we would become the happiest people. Let's use this method to help Swamiji's aim to spread this priceless knowledge to others succeed🎉.

[@krishghosh6630]

Thank you so much swamiji

[@rajatkumarmahapatra7142]

We accept the challenge in any advers situation to get success in life. Focus on our internal activities and do positive ways in life. Positive thinking create good imotion and rectify our personal life.

[@hariharkripalu]

Most of us have negative bias thoughts which ruin our lifestyle. Even our relationship get ruined from this. We always point out the negative part inspire of several positive things. Thankyou Swamiji for explaining that pointing out 1 negative thing about anyone before we have to praise him with two positive qualities. This would save several relationships 👏🏻👏🏻

[@BholeBabaRamShyamSeva]

Swamiji beautifully explains the Tetris Effect and how our mind goes towards the negative and have negative bias so we need to look at things positively and change our thinking and mindset with positive reframing.

We should be negativity bised . We must be positive everywhere

[@madhusmitadash6439]

If we think continously on negativity we will entangle to it. Also if we see negativity with others continuously our mind will be programed it. But we can change our thinking in our way if we want.

[@anupabasnet3363]

Dear swamiji please make a video on how to remove negative past from our subconscious mind or how to replace negative woth positive without forcing 🙏

To come out of Tetris Effect we have to change the way we look at things. It is said that Change your vision to change the world. Radhey Radhey...

[@v1k2s3]

Don't see negative things, Don't think negative, Don talk negative..always be positive

[@radhameenakshi5158]

Radhey Radhey The negativity bias in our mind gets compounded by the Tetris effect.The neurons in our brain create a pathway by which that thought patterns comes more easily. Positive thoughts can create positive attitude and make positive things happen to us. The way we look and perceive should be positive, We should keep creating happy thoughts for a happy life.

[@santoshsahu3357]

Over thinking of negative circumstances helps to build a tetris effect in our brain. So our mind naturally turns towards negative thoughts. We have to change it towards positive thinking...It can be easily understandable by the book "The Art and Science of Happiness " ❤❤

[@sudhasarangi3067]

Our natural nature is to focus towards negativity. Negative bias of our mind can be overcome by accepting positive attitude and being detached from addiction.

[@user-pf3hj4jy4d]

Sandwich technique 🥪

[@bleugirl2]

It’s funny because positive comments seem disingenuous but negative comments seem totally plausible. I find that no matter how many positive things you say, the negative is all anyone hears, self included. I am starting to learn to be less affected by negative commentary, and understand many times people are projecting their own innefficiencies.
