I found myself slipping into a negative mindset the past couple of months; I got caught up in the wave of negativity that the media showcases. The more I focused on the news and on all the negativity and sadness around the world, the less energy I had to give. The point is that negativity is all around us, no matter where you look, you will always find something negative; it can either be a negative person in your life or a situation.
