In this podcast rendition of my blog post "Unmindful Motivational Quotes," I discuss "motivational" quotes that fall flat and display toxic positivity, followed by a discussion of ways I have found productive for me in combatting intrusive negative thoughts and increasing positivity.

An Attitude of Radical Gratitude So I've been practicing something I personally call "radical gratitude" and it has CHANGED my life. I outline exactly how I do this here and the effects it has had for me and others as well. This post has been well received, for which I am thankful as I put a lot of time and thought into it because I truly want to help others change their lives since I figured out what works for me....

So last Friday, nature beckoned to me and I ended up watching my first summer sunset - at the very end of it.  While watching, I ended up reflecting on everything... What started out a bit melancholic for me ended up being a beautiful experience, which I would like to share with you all.
