😞 Negative thoughts are not just “a bad mood.”
A chronic habit of replaying worries, grudges, and catastrophes in your head can actually wear the brain out.
When we keep thinking about the worst:
• levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) go up;
• cortisol worsens how neurons are nourished and blocks the formation of new connections;
• over time, this is linked to faster brain aging and a higher risk of dementia.
Scientists increasingly talk about “repetitive negative thinking” as a risk factor: the more a person gets stuck in dark scenarios, the more their memory, attention, and clear thinking suffer.

👉 What you can start doing now:
• catch the moments when you’re looping on the same negative thoughts;
• switch attention to action: a short walk, 4–6 breathing, one small step in real life;
• reduce the “fuel for negativity” — doom‑scrolling, late‑night news, toxic conversations.
The goal isn’t to become “permanently positive.” The goal is to stop feeding your brain with a stream of thoughts that slowly destroy it.
