Episode 42

There is a lot of negativity in many of our homes right now. We’ve been home together for a long time, and it’s likely that we will continue to be in this situation for a little while longer.

Unfortunately, the way we usually approach our unwanted behavior, moods, and attitudes only increases the negativity. So instead of trying to make these issues go away, we need to reduce the Yuck that’s causing them to begin with… and in this episode, you’ll learn a very simple action you can take to do just that. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why the way we usually address negativity only increases the negativity 
• What Yuck has to do with behavior, moods, and attitudes — and why it must be addressed if you want those issues to improve 
• A simple strategy that you can use to address Yuck immediately
