Explanation
Gratitude is the antidote to the negativity bias because it involves focusing on and appreciating the positive aspects of life. The negativity bias refers to the tendency of the human brain to pay more attention to negative experiences and emotions. By practicing gratitude, individuals shift their focus towards the positive, which helps counteract the bias towards negativity. This can lead to improved mental well-being, increased happiness, and a more positive outlook on life.

  Multi-Task
Correct Answer
D. Multi-Task

Explanation
Multi-tasking is not a way to be more mindful at work because it involves dividing one's attention among multiple tasks simultaneously. Mindfulness requires being fully present and focused on one task at a time, allowing for greater attention to detail and productivity. Multi-tasking, on the other hand, can lead to decreased efficiency and quality of work. Therefore, it is important to avoid multi-tasking and instead practice being consciously present, using mindful reminders, and cultivating humility to enhance mindfulness at work.
