Summary
In a time where there's so much to be sad or upset about, we have the power to choose thoughts that feel better.
And, we can actively look for evidence that those thoughts are true and that good things are happening.
In this article and podcast episode of Truth for Teachers, I'll share a couple of examples of how this has worked in my own life and work, and how it might be useful for you, too.
I'll also outline 4 specific steps you can take to choose a better-feeling thought about something that's bothering you right now, whether it's personally or professionally.
