Positive Thinking Is Contagious
Gary and I met lots of interesting people when we were traveling and exploring the California coast. Sharae, who we met in Santa Rosa, California stands out. Her positivity was contagious.
I would love to hang out with Sharae again over a cup of coffee!
She is right. Positive thinking is contagious and it rubs off. I know it sounds simple, but it works. Negative attitudes are draining and they rub off too. What to do?
Susan Hannaly, RN, CCDS whom I met at a presentation I gave for Medtronic’s Paceart University has this strategy. When someone is being negative she thinks to herself, “Thanks for sharing” and then she mentally flicks the remote control to something else.

I love my life! I have a passion and a purpose to share my recipe for health and happiness with RDNs and others – maybe even more so now that I’ve officially retired. If you want to learn what I discovered through coaching 1000 people over 9000 hours check out my final post, “Live Like This Is Your Last Day. Someday It Will Be!”
“THANK YOU for sharing years of your energy with us (with ME). Several years ago, I attended a seminar you taught, and I got some great ideas so I subscribed to Abundant Mondays and I’m so very happy I did. You make a difference in my life even though we have never met. I continue on my journey to adjust and adapt to the changes life brings and to remain positive and a positive influence. With your help.” -KJ
Yes, Chere. Thanks for the reminder of not hanging around with negative people. Sometimes I can even feel their anger or negativity in their faces or bodies, and it’s a sign to stay away. Nancy
Thanks for writing Nancy! We become the sum of the top five people we hang with.
Some people are shining examples and others are warnings!
Cheerfully Chere
