We would all love to start every day bursting with positive thoughts and endless optimism. A very lucky few may always wake up on the right side of the bed. (And don’t we all secretly hate them?) Oops, there go those negative thoughts again! Still, staying positive doesn’t just affect your mood. Leading positivity scholar Barbara Fredrickson says, “I think of positive emotions as nutrients. In the same way that we need to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables to be healthy, we need a variety of positive emotions in our daily experience to help us become more resourceful versions of ourselves.”
