Season 2, Episode 15: Positive thinking can help us manage daily stress in all areas of our lives. Positivity begins with personal motivation, and the Living Full Out Show provides the perfect platform to jump start positive thinking. From our jobs to our interpersonal relationships, positivity can completely transform how we feel about ourselves and the people we are surrounded by. Given the ups and downs that life brings, it can be difficult to remain positive in times of adversity and struggle. However, positive thinking ultimately gives us the keys to unlocking our best selves.

Our first caller Wafaa has dealt with being overcritical of herself and others because of a need to be perfect or to be the best. Listen as Nancy shows Wafaa how failure can build character and create personal growth.

Our second caller Tim has been feeling misunderstood and alienated by his friends and family. Tune in to hear how Nancy gives Tim suggestions on how to use different methods of communication to best connect with the people he is closest to in his life.

Today’s inspirational guest is Jacob Atem, a survivor of the Second Sudanese Civil War. At the age of six, Jacob was caught in the crossfire of the brutal conflict, which claimed the lives of his parents and some of his siblings. Tune in to hear how Jacob used his faith in God to overcome the hardships of being a child refugee and how he found personal freedom upon migrating to the United States.

Our last caller is Cynthia, who wants to know how long she should wait to start dating again after divorcing her partner of 30 years. Hear how Cynthia can use the challenges from her past relationship to create an even stronger connection in her next relationship.

Sometimes it can feel like the most difficult thing in the world is thinking positively when times are tough. But as difficult as it can be, positivity truly changes the way that we perceive our daily challenges. By focusing on the positive, we are able to put our problems into perspective and make moves to overcome the obstacles in our lives. Positivity is more than just a personal mantra; it can be your first step to living full out.
