Think It, Speak It, Live It

IT IS SAD, but true: Americans are becoming overwhelmingly pessimistic, and there is no shortage of studies to prove it. Reported data shows that that a paltry six percent of U.S. citizens think the world is getting better, while a staggering two-thirds believe the country is moving in the wrong direction-at least before the election of Donald Trump. All of this growing negativity is taking a toll, with escalating pessimism, stress, and depression looming large across the nation. In fact, the most recent American Psychological Association's Stress in America survey cites that more than one-third of adults are experiencing increased stress over the previous year, while the National Center for Health Statistics shows suicide rates at a 30-year high.
