Today, Eva answers a question from Tom in Seattle. Tom writes: Eva, I hope you can help me with something. I play baseball. I’ve been playing for a few years now, and it is my favorite sport. Like in any sport, you have good days and you have bad days. Sometimes, I will play really well, and I’ll get a few big hits, score some runs, and even help my team win. Other times, it feels like I can’t hit the ball. I’ll strike out or hit the ball right to the infielder for an easy out. Here’s the problem that my parents and I noticed. While I do feel happy when I play well, I feel way way worse when I play bad. For example, if we win, we give High 5s to the other team, we celebrate, I feel great, and then I just go about my normal day. But when we lose and I play bad, it really bums me out. And not just right after the game. I’ll actually come home and still be upset about it hours later. Do you have any advice on how I can enjoy the good games more, and not let the bad games affect me so much?
Enjoy this episode where Eva shares the scientific explanation for why humans tend to focus on the negative more than the positive, and 3 powerful tips to help overcome negative thoughts (and embrace positive ones)!
