Introverts unite! Then retreat into a quiet room. Alone.  I really like today’s topic.

HTL050: The List of Positive Aspects – A tool to help improve your perspective, with Dr. Laura Jaget

Podcast
We have all encountered situations, events, or people that for whatever reason triggered a negative emotion or reaction within us. Sometimes, we are able to brush it off relatively quickly and carry on and then later on, when we think about the encounter, it seems so far away and we don’t even care. And that is awesome.
