And, once you’re in the habit of watching your thoughts, it’s important to not only challenge the untrue ones, but also to replace them with something more uplifting. Something more like your best friend would say. Something that’ll encourage you to be happier, no matter the circumstances. But, coming up with that new phrase can be hard sometimes. And, it can feel totally Stuart-Smalley cheesy, right? That’s why today we are so thrilled to be sharing an excerpt from Kelsey…
