How does Hilary Erickson's approach to positivity combat criticism and negativity?

Hilary Erickson emphasizes the importance of being aware of our critical thoughts, both about ourselves and others. She shares her journey of recognizing the negativity that filled her mind and how she actively combats it by replacing negative thoughts with positive affirmations.

For instance, when she notices a critical thought, she consciously tries to find two or three positive aspects instead. This shift in mindset not only helps her maintain a more positive outlook but has also led to improvements in her physical well-being, like alleviating wrist pain.

By focusing on gratitude and framing situations positively, she believes we can create a more uplifting environment for ourselves and those around us.
