Finding Glimmers in Your Journey

Why We Often Focus on the Negative


Have you ever noticed how we're often more inclined to dwell on our negative emotions than our positive ones? We might spend hours ruminating over a minor setback or disappointment, while moments of joy and happiness seem to pass by unnoticed. This tendency can significantly impact our overall well-being and perspective on life.

It's important to understand that both happiness and sadness are natural and essential parts of the human experience. By ignoring or dismissing our positive emotions, we're missing out on valuable opportunities for growth and fulfillment.



"Even in the darkest night, there is always a glimmer of hope."

So, why do we often focus on the negative?

  • Fear of Loss: We may worry that acknowledging and appreciating our happiness will make it more vulnerable to loss.

  • Societal Expectations: Cultural norms or personal experiences might lead us to believe that expressing positive emotions is inappropriate or excessive.

  • Habitual Thinking Patterns: Negative thought patterns can become ingrained, making it difficult to shift our perspective towards the positive.

  • Fear of Change: Positive emotions can sometimes feel unfamiliar or uncomfortable, leading us to resist change and cling to negative patterns.

  • Fear of Letting Go: We may be afraid to let go of negative emotions or beliefs, even if they are no longer serving us.

  • Fear of Control: Feeling happy and content can sometimes make us feel less in control of our lives, which can be unsettling.

  • Fear of Old Trauma Surfacing: Positive emotions can sometimes trigger underlying traumas or unresolved issues that we may have been avoiding.

  • Fear of Things That Bring Joy: We may fear that experiencing joy will make us vulnerable to pain or loss.


These fears can contribute to our tendency to focus on the negative and overlook the positive aspects of our lives. However, by understanding these underlying factors, we can begin to challenge them and cultivate a more positive mindset.


Igniting Change: Finding the Glimmers in Both Happiness and Sadness

To cultivate a more balanced and fulfilling life, it's essential to shift our perspective and appreciate both the highs and lows of our experiences. Here are some strategies to help you do this:

  • Practice Gratitude: Regularly acknowledge the positive aspects of your life, no matter how small. Feel them, repeat them, and ask the universe to show you more. This is a magical way to start and end your day with gratitude. With practice, it becomes easier.

  • Mindfulness: Cultivate awareness of your thoughts and feelings, without judgment. Feel the breath, skin, moment, heart opening, belly rising, smell the air and food, and be in the moment.

  • Challenge Negative Thoughts: When negative thoughts arise, question their validity and replace them with more positive ones.

  • Seek Support: Connect with loved ones or a therapist to share your experiences and receive support. Which could include body work, energy healing, and movements like somatic, yoga, tai chi, etc.


By embracing both the joyful and challenging moments of life, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and cultivate a more balanced and fulfilling existence. Remember, happiness and sadness are both part of the human experience, and both have valuable lessons to teach us.

Change doesn't happen overnight. To move towards your dreams and create the life you want, small steps are essential for achieving bigger success.
