In this episode of Thyroid-Healthy Bites, we tackle negativity bias—our natural tendency to focus on what didn’t go right vs. what did. This negativity bias can sabotage our efforts to create lasting healthy habits, leaving us feeling stuck, frustrated, and even like we’ve failed. But what if we could shift our focus in order to make healthy shifts in our lives?

We’ll explore how focusing on your wins—big or small—can help you build momentum and stay motivated in your health journey. If you feel like your inner critic is louder than your inner cheerleader, this episode will help you shift your mindset and make real progress.
