Podcast Episode: 2020 Didn't Entirely Suck

2020. Worst year ever.
You've heard that, haven't you? Maybe even said it. I hear it from friends and on social media, from commentators on the news. It's the name of a podcast.
If any year ever feels like the worst, it’s mostly because our brains have a tendency to judge the present more harshly. Unfettered media consumption skews our perception, and it becomes easy to slide into unhealthy patterns of belief.
You don’t have to pull the plug on your whole digital life to get a better outlook on the year. According to experts, learning to tame your persistent negative beliefs or your penchant for looking at the past through rose colored glasses could act as a much needed respite from this year’s stress.
On today's episode Jake will talking about this year from his perspective and bring out the joy to be found during this year and reflect on the things that have been positive.
