Hey there {NAME}!
Welcome to September Γ°ΒΒΒ Γ°ΒΒΒ Γ°ΒΒΒ. I'm thrilled to be back after our summer break.
Right before the holiday, I was in Houston shooting an upcoming episode of MarieTV. A week later, Harvey hit. The devastation across Texas and the Gulf Coast is harrowing. The unimaginable loss, the scale of suffering and the extraordinary journey ahead for millions is nothing short of historic.
If you've been affected by this catastrophe, we will continue to support you (I've chosen the Red Cross) and hold you in our thoughts and prayers. If you're reading this and want to help too, [this article provides a host of organizations to consider](.
Now on to today's show.
When I came across this question from Fred, a veteran business owner, I jumped to respond. Fred's question points to a universal cognitive tendency that affects us all. It wreaks havoc on our ability to be effective and perform at our best β no matter how experienced or accomplished we are.
Left unchecked, it can steal thousands of hours of productive time and untold amounts of happiness and joy over a lifetime.
If negative thoughts ever hijack your brain and derail your efforts to be both productive and happy, watch this now.

While what you're about to learn won't stop this cognitive bias from kicking in, I believe it can help you reduce your recovery time by at least 50%.
Let's say a massive disappointment, comparison hangover, or garden variety rejection typically costs you approximately 4 hours of wasted time and energy per incident. What if you could get back to feeling and performing at your best in 2 hours or less?
If you confront one negative event a week, these strategies could help you recover 260 hours over a 5 year period. That translates into gaining 3 FULL WEEKS of time you would have otherwise lost to feeling bad about yourself and getting nothing worthwhile accomplished.
No matter what you estimate your numbers to be, training your brain to stop getting hooked on the negative is a valuable endeavor. Once you've had a chance to watch, I'd love to know:
Has this cognitive bias ever caught you off guard or derailed your efforts to produce results? What's helped you tame this part of your lizard brain?

I believe that every creative needs to know about negativity bias and have simple tools to combat its effects β especially when that negative brain spiral happens. To be clear, negativity bias impacts everyone brave enough to share their work, art or ideas with the world.
Please share this one with your friends and network. They'll thank you for it.
With so much love,
XO
