The ART of Reframing Thoughts

For some of us, thinking positively does not come naturally. Those of us who have a steady stream, or even a little trickle of negativity, worry, or doubt, may have to work a little harder to see the bright side. Follow me here for a discussion about how to create new, positive habits. Storms will come, but if we are prepared, we can weather those storms and perhaps come out stronger!

The easiest way to forget our own worries or struggles is to help others. In fact, when we get out of our own problems we often see that there are others who are struggling more than we are. Follow me here to investigate some of the ways you can pay it forward and temporarily, at least, leave your troubles behind.
