This week I want to talk about toxic negativity. I will outline 10 character types who are labelled as toxic and some indicators that you or someone you know is toxically negative. I also will give you a few pointers on how you can decrease your negativity or deal with a peer who is dragging you down.

Today's wrap-up story is a fable about the difference between positive and negative thoughts.

Fun Fact: around the 5-minute mark you can hear a cat meowing in the background that I didn't realize until I had finished editing!
