Are you being criticized a lot? Do you have people around you who tell you that you shouldn’t do something, even though you really want to? Do those people pull you down?

If you have been meaning to re-connect with an old friend since the New Year (or even longer), you might be interested to read this post.

When was the last time you felt stressed out? When was the last time you said to yourself: “This has to stop, but I don’t know how?!?”
