The Intensity Trap_ Why Life Feels Like a Rollercoaster

About this episode

Have you noticed that everything lately feels just a little bit more intense? It is not just you; it is a quiet, collective shift where even the smallest daily tasks feel like monumental challenges. We are living through a period where the volume of life feels like it has been cranked up to eleven, but why is this happening? To understand this, we have to look at the wiring of our own brains. We are built with something called a negativity bias, an ancient survival mechanism that prioritizes threats over rewards. Because our brains are designed to keep us safe, they naturally fixate on intensity and danger, making those high-stress moments stick in our memories far longer than the calm ones. For about twenty percent of the population, this is even more pronounced.
