I really do feel that — that it’s time to do something to help people see that they do have a choice in their outlook and approach to communications and relationships. If we put our energy into vilifying other people for their views, and feeling angry and disenfranchised, we are actively choosing to poison our minds, I believe, and to perpetuate toxic negativity. We can make a different choice.

As we know, it’s not easy to do, and some days are harder than others. But I believe that a daily choice to try to think positively and to cheer for what’s good can build on itself. You wake up in the morning and make some waffles and you think: wow — look at this! I have this almost magical ability to create a lovely experience and fabulous aromas. Isn’t this great? I feel so grateful for this moment!

In the article when I mentioned I remapped my brain so that positive thoughts would ultimately replace dark ones, that is what I’m talking about. It took a long time and a lot of practice, though. And it’s ongoing.
