Episode 007: How to think positively but not lie to yourself, and an interview with Travis Mills about his documentary Travis, a soldier’s story. Travis is a quadruple amputee from injuries in Afghanistan. We discuss that and what he’s done with his life since then. 

  • Positive thinking is NOT looking at the world through rose-colored glasses
  • Did you hear the one about the optimist and the pessimist?
  • We don’t see things as they are
  • How to focus on the positive and how that helps you
  • You get to choose
  • Action step 1: Pay attention to your thoughts
  • Action step 2: Focus on those positive thoughts and take action on them to improve your situation
  • Action step 3: Every night, write down three new things you are thankful for
  • Part 2: Interview with Retired United States Army Staff Sergeant Travis Mills of the 82nd Airborne. On April 10, 2012, he was critically injured on his third tour of duty in Afghanistan by an IED (improvised explosive device). He lost portions of both legs and both arms. He is one of only five quadruple amputees from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to survive his injuries.
