Ode to Joy (and Positivity)
This is an episode about “Positivity” which has everything to do with communication. It’s a state of mind we all want but let’s be honest, it can also be really annoying. False positivity is an irritating personality quirk.
The official definition from the Oxford Dictionary implies that positivity is not something you are; it's more something you feel.
Positive Psychology is an investment in who you are and what you can do to live your best life. Your best life looks and feels different every day.
Annoyed yet? 😊
