How to Stay Positive in a Negative World with Linda Bruno
March 17 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm CDT
Have you ever noticed how easy it is to get drawn into the world of the negative? Or maybe I should say, “how easy it is to get drawn into what sometimes seems a totally negative world”!
And have you ever noticed that we often tend to share our negativity with others – our co-workers, patrons, friends, and family – and sometimes total strangers?? They often “catch” our negativity, make it their very own, and proceed to share it with even more people!
What we sometimes forget is that holding on to negativity or focusing on the positive is a choice, not something over which we have absolutely no control.
In this 60-minute webinar, we’re going to look briefly at what tends to bring out our negativity, how long we hang on to negative thoughts, and how we generally react to those feelings.
Then we’ll talk about choices – how do we raise awareness of the choices we’re making regarding our own feelings? How do we ensure that those choices are going to be to our benefit? How do we use this skill to impact our lives?
How, in other words, do we choose to stay positive when negativity seems to be the norm?
