From heartbreaking stories in the news to increasing anger and bitterness between business associates in the office and friends on social media, there are a host of factors that threaten to pull the most positive person out of the Zone. In fact, the amount of stress and negativity is so high in March 2018 that I’m focusing on helping you stay positive two weeks in a row.
If you’re a long time listener of the Jim Fannin Show, you know that I’ve helped over 2,500 clients wake up happy and go to bed happy. No matter how happy you wake up though, there are countless moments each day that can deliver a huge hit to your S.C.O.R.E.® Level and overall attitude. When your mindset is low enough, you can swiftly enter the opposite of the Zone, which is called, “The Downs.” Once in the attitudinal quicksand of the “Downs,” anxiety, worry, angst, despair, hopelessness, fear, and even depression can and probably will derail your hopes and dreams.
You and your loved ones aren’t going there though because this week’s episode is all about protecting your positivity and overall wellness.
