I don't like to deny my negative feelings. I stuffed them down too much in the past and that was really unhealthy for me. My truth is my truth. However, I don't like to give them more power than they deserve. I use them like clues to show me where something is wrong or needs attention and then I try to heal that by applying something positive. I feel like I can cancel out the negativity once I acknowledge it and then pair it with its opposite. There are at least two sides to everything.

Hey, @
fern46. Probably the easiest place to just quickly sort of read about the latest stuff in this area is to go to: us.cnn.com/2019/09/30/health/happiness-live-longer-wellness/index.html
Hopefully, that will work. Also, if you just google 'study on pessimism death rates' a whole bunch of stuff will pop up.
On this note, I am intentionally trying to be more optimistic. It is not my default position, but I am trying. We shall see...
