"Hold the door, or hold your tongue," says Dr. Harry Cohen. Either act can be a way of helping others and bringing light to the world, instead of negativity and divisiveness. The psychologist and author of Be the Sun, Not the Salt, says when we consider the "heliotropic effect" and focus on nurturing, encouraging, and uplifting ourselves and others, we improve our own lives and make a positive difference in the lives of others. Through a series of practical examples and practices, Cohen talks about how we can create a positive morning ritual and adopt other habits to help ease negative feelings and uplift our moods even when the days are darker.
