Speaking Of... Blog by Vivian Cobb
Wow, it's hard to believe we are just one week away from TEDx Manitou Springs, Colorado!
It has been the longest, shortest couple of months since this whole process began, and I am just so ready to get on that stage and share my message of life!
Will you be there?
A preview --
Think about what you’re exposed to, what’s crammed into your head every day. You’re surrounded by negativity. Drama, trauma, angst…we ingest it constantly. It’s an addiction feeding our fear, our anxiety, our self-doubt, and our negative self-talk.
Negativity Clouds Truth
There is a huge difference between negative and negativity. We need negative experiences to learn and grow. But, negativity is a constant, destructive state of mind.
Author Bree Maloney shared in her article, The Damaging Effects of Negativity, that if we let negativity rule, we are more likely to get sick. Upset stomach, headache, sleep problems, anxiety, depression, fatigue, chest pain, you name it.
The point is, all this negativity is really bad for our health. There’s a solution.
Stop it!
Easy to say. But how do you do it?
Reevaluate, reconnect, and restructure.

Thank you so much for sharing your story of how you found the courage, strength, and perseverance to dream once again through seemingly unsurmountable circumstances.
You remind us that we do not need to stay stuck in situations that are not healthy. Rather, we all have within us the ability to Intentionally don our ruby red slippers in order to walk the path we need to travel to get where we truly want to go.May you have continued success on your journey to happiness Vivian! -Suanne
