#WednesdayWisdom If thinking positive is making you feel worse, stop. You're probably ACTUALLY better off thinking negatively to deal with whatever is wrong. https://t.co/nTHG8WshGF

Positivity is good and all, but doesn't it just seem too gimmicky when reality is just far too complex to focus on "looking on the bright side" ? Critical thinking, on the other hand, is an important skill that I don't see being promoted enough.
