    In this episode of The Alcohol-Free Advantage Podcast, Andy Ramage dives into the negativity bias—the built-in survival instinct that makes your brain focus on the bad instead of the good. He explains why this happens and, more importantly, how to rewire your thinking for a more positive, resilient, and fulfilling life.

    • Why your brain is hardwired for negativity (and how to override it).
    • The science of gratitude and how it shifts your mindset.
    • A simple habit used by the US military to train mental resilience.


    Quotable Moments

    • “Your brain isn’t against you—it’s just running an outdated survival programme.”
    • “What you focus on grows. Train yourself to hunt the good stuff.”
    • “You can’t eliminate negativity, but you can learn to manage it.”


    Why This Episode Matters
