you've heard it right? you should give 5 positives for each negative. now it's time to live it! i always thought the 5 things had to be words... you are great, good job, you are doing so good. blah blah. some much felt pushed and fake. then a friend gave me this list. doing anything on this list is considered a positive communication. what an eye opener!! gave a quick shoulder rub (#2), asked about school (#1), said thank you for taking out the trash (#4), folded the clothes left in the dryer (#3). um okay so i didn't make it to all 5 things but i did pretty good!
