Have you ever caught yourself assuming the worst—about people, situations, or even your own future?
You’re not alone.

Join me on Cabral Concept 3349 as we explore how to stop assuming the worst, rewire your mindset, and cultivate a more positive outlook on life. Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!

0:00.0 | Welcome to the Cabral Concept, where board certified doctor of naturopathy, Dr. Stephen Cabral, |
0:05.8 | shares with you exactly how you can reverse aging, take back your health, and live a life full of energy and passion, |
0:12.7 | with new 20-minute episodes every single day to keep you healthy and engaged. Now, here's your host, Dr. Stephen Cabral. |
0:26.1 | All right, everybody here. We are. We're back with the Cabral Concept, our mindset and Motivation Monday. Show of the week, so excited to get into today's show. Really important topic, |
0:32.5 | because this is something that I have to mentally talk myself through at least once a month, probably if I'm being |
0:40.7 | honest, even more than that. And that is, and I really boiled it down to this one phrase, stop |
0:48.3 | assuming the worst in people or a situation. So a lot of our times, our minds jump to the negative. And they do that |
0:58.2 | on purpose. The reason is, is that the limbic part of the brain is always searching out the |
1:03.3 | negative. It's why the news is so negative because they know, because they've done the studies, |
1:08.0 | that the negative topics tune in more individuals, right? They get more |
1:14.1 | people to tune in and watch. And the reason is is that your brain is more fixated than negative |
1:18.3 | because it's trying to always stay alive. So it says, what do I need to learn from this? What do I |
1:23.6 | need to be worried about? And over time, what happens is we become more negative, right? |
1:28.2 | Like, that's the issue. |
1:29.3 | That is why, again, I appreciate people tuning the news, all they need to do. |
1:33.2 | I prefer to catch headlines rather than the sensationalism of the TV or videos, etc. |
1:39.7 | I can look at the headlines, know that there's still clickbait and sensation. |
1:44.5 | I get it. |
1:44.9 | I totally understand that. |
1:46.1 | But I can be more at bay and read it without all the sensationalism. |
1:50.5 | Anyway, what I want to share with you, though, are instances where I've jumped too far |
1:56.1 | for no real reason. |
