Think about the time you feel the MOST negative. Does it line up with feelings of being overwhelmed. If the answer is yes, you’re not alone. Research has found that when we feel stressed, we’re super quick to believe the worst. The good news is that now we know, we can start to address the balance!

But we want you to practice this the next time you get out of bed and see how it makes you feel across the course of the day.
