Do you sometimes hear a little voice in your head, an inner critic that keeps you from performing at your best? What if we told you there’s a way to change what that voice is telling you that will improve your performance in just about anything you try?

And in this episode about positive thinking, we’re going to show you how thinking positively can change your thoughts, your reality and even your life! We’re going to mess with your mood to show you what really makes that glass seem half empty or half full; why people who stand tall, stand happy; and how to turn that frown upside down.
