Negativity is a normal part of our experience. We believe that it is a warning, an indicator designed to send us an important alert-head in the direction of feeling good, what we call your UpSpiral. We are not made to dwell in negativity. Answer these five questions and see where you score. 1) I talk about other people; it tends to fill my conversations. Yes No 2) When I get into a conversation and can’t think of anything else to say, it’s easy for me to turn to something that’s wrong or “off.” Yes No 3) When I talk about myself, it’s usually in negative terms; I don’t spend much time giving myself a lot of credit. Yes No 4) When another person starts to go down a negative track, I usually go along. I don’t stop and tell them I don’t want to go there. Yes No 5) When I take tests like this, I usually give myself higher scores than are really accurate. Yes No How do you think you did? If you scored two or more, you are too negative. Yes, too negative. You are negative in a way that blocks your UpSpiral from generating all the good things that can come into your life. What can you do?
