How To Stay Positive In A Negative World

If you’ve been watching the news recently, you might think that the whole world is falling apart.

What is positive thinking about?

What is positive thinking about? By Gail Lowe On the surface,”what is positive thinking about?” is a really simply question.  Many people may think they know and many may pay lip service to it, saying they practice it daily.  Some people hate the idea of positive thinking and actively avoid anyone they know who they consider looks at the world through ‘rose-tinted spectacles”. But the answer is really quite simple – it is exactly what it ‘says on the tin!’ Positive thinking is about having good thoughts that are amenable, comforting and optimistic in nature.
