Hi, this is TheCandidConservative with today’s minute on Thanksgiving…

In the aftermath of a disappointing election, conservatives are finding giving thanks to be a little tougher.  Gratitude is more important than ever. Conservatives, per the way their brain is wired, are naturally geared to fixing things and intercepting problems before they happen. If we’re not careful, that’s just one step away from becoming a negative or cynical person. This “four more years of an Obama nation” Thanksgiving is a perfect time to start practicing the 3 to 1 rule.  Put a positive and a negative together and the negative will win.  Two positives will just manage to neutralize a negative. It takes about a 3 to 1 ratio of good to bad to leave us feeling good. Over the course of your day, push your mind to go there. That gives you room to deal with the negatives – like Obama – but reserves most of your energy for the good stuff.  That thanks will help you find your inner smile and nothing makes liberals more unhappy than a smiling conservative.
