I have a theory about people who are mean. I believe these people aren’t evil – they’re just bored!
We know that the brain loves to be entertained. The more entertainment the better as billions of neurons fire in response to stimulus.
And if external stimulus isn’t available, internal stimulus will do!
So the brain creates what it needs – and because negativity gets the most attention, the brain creates negative stuff.
You know this is going on when you have a bad thought and then go on to construct imaginary scenarios. Your brain will continue to do this until something else catches your attention.
Action – When your brain misbehaves this way, STOP. Think of a positive activity and make your brain respond to that.
I know my theory isn’t scientifically proven yet, but what the heck, it can’t be bad.
Unless you’re bored!
