Your mind is like your news feed.

Negative thoughts on repeat is like hitting the “Like” button on negativity:

You can retrain your brain to ignore negative thoughts and “Like” positive thoughts that help you. When you do, possibilities and productivity increase.

It takes time to change thought patterns.
