Perhaps the return to the work week and the pressures of earning a living as opposed to hanging out with friends and family overwhelms our ability to feel

When the words that you use regularly are negative it probably comes as no surprise that the result of this is more negativity.

The world needs more positivity. Because, that’s why. When we all have more positivity in our lives, we all feel better. Feeling good is pretty much the main driving force for everyone for everything. This whole positivity thing does not need to be complex. It can be insanely simple.
