Gratitude & Sticky Socks: Why Positive Thinking Can Be A Waste Of Time

Clare Josa, Research & Training Director

In today’s #theschoolrunsdone inspiration for Passionate World Changers, we’re talking about stinky sports socks and gratitude – and why this is a metaphor for how positive thinking can be a waste of time:


So, were you trying to dilute that stinky sock water with a thimble-full of positive thinking? Are you ready to pull the plug and let the sink empty, so you can fill it back up with thoughts that make you feel happier?

Remember: you get a year full of step-by-step how-to in A Year Full Of Gratitude. I’d love to share this journey with you.
