We may live in the present, but our mind does not necessarily think this way.

​

Up to 50% of our time thinking can relate to our past, or imagining the future. Our minds do not live in the present moment.

​

In fact, our mind is wired to remember better negative experiences than positive situations (1).

​

It is not a surprise that we may feel unhappy or experience regrets by thinking about the past too often.

​

But why do we have our minds wired this way?
