20: Positive Attitudes Are Life-Giving with Addlia Edwards and Cathie Seibert

March of 2020 in the United States is like no other March I've ever experienced!

News of the Coronavirus and all the ensuing restrictions occurred within days. The lives of Americans radically shifted with the closing of schools, horrendously long lines at the grocery store to buy toilet paper, having to practice social distancing, and hundreds of thousands of people facing layoffs. The list goes on and on.

While the news provides updated information, it can increase fear, even panic. Throw in some sensationalized news that's fake, and it might feel like the world is ending. Negative thoughts creep in and begin to take root. Instead of believing things will get better, one might begin to be convinced life will never be the same when the Coronavirus is gone.  Once those thoughts take root, it's hard to pull them out.

Negative thinking isn't limited to living as cautiously as possible during the Coronavirus. It can creep in when a happily married couple finds themselves arguing nightly. An unexpected health crisis with the doctor giving a grim prognosis ushers in negative thinking. Failed job after failed job leads to negative thoughts like, "I'm just not good enough."

My guests, Cathie and Addlia, join me for a discussion on the importance of keeping a positive attitude, especially when life is tough. These two have faced years of tough times, yet each fight (and fight hard) to focus on the positive things happening in their lives. Through their journeys of overcoming, both ladies have gained wisdom that will convince you positive attitudes add years to your life. 

Join us for a laughter-filled discussion to learn why we believe positive attitudes are life-giving.
