Mindful negativity




There is a concept called "Confirmation Bias", which means "a tendency of people to favour information that confirms their beliefs or hypotheses" (Source: Wikipedia). Building strong preconceptions may somehow be related to this constant urge to judge people at every instance and build strong beliefs within us. The confirmation bias deep within probably takes over for every positive and negative vibe we get from people. Positive is probably still ok, but for every negative thought, I think there should be a pause, a consideration and then considered internalization. I''d love to give it a new name, I'll call it "Mindful Negativity" :P
