Our questions determine the results we get.  If we ask a "blah' question, you are likely to get a "blah" response - for example, "What's up?"  will generate most likely "Not much!" "Nothing."  "What's been the best part of your day so far?" is likely to have the respondent unscramble their brain to provide an answer to tell you about the best part of their day. A positive question is more likely to grow positivity in your life. For resources and links mentioned in this episode, visit http://positivitystrategist.com/ps75 (http://positivitystrategist.com/ps75)

Lights were out at 10 and when lockdown happened there was no leaving the block you lived in. For resources and links mentioned in this episode, visit http://positivitystrategist.com/ps74 (http://positivitystrategist.com/ps74)
