The Negative and the Positive

Did you know that if one person says something negative, it can take between 3 and 40 positive comments to outweigh it? For every bad thing, it takes several more good things to counter it. The vast difference in that ratio seems to be because while scientists have studied the idea, they can’t agree on […]

Recharge

Yesterday, I was so over being around people. I was exhausted beyond measure because I have been pushing myself to do more and more and haven’t had time to decompress.
