And it's, I've been in this situation where my brain is just doubling down on negativity.

And it's not, it's not, it's not clothed as negativity, but it's discouragement. It's cynicism. It's self-criticism. It's comparison.

And that all wraps me up into it. And even though I am a very, and I repeat, very naturally optimistic person, like I wake up and I'm at it.

Like I am a puppy dog personality. I still have to be really mindful about my own negative mind.

I have one of the most positive minds naturally in my personality of all personality types. And yet, that's why I hope my transparency and me being honest about what I've had to struggle with.

And how I've had to call myself out on my own negativity will help you to be taken honest look at your own because we have to look at our own and deal with it first in order to be able to properly and very effectively manage the negativity of others.
