The Power of "MEH"

There is an easy, effective, and practical way to feel better. Just say "meh" to what's bothering you. Our problems are big, but our minds make them even bigger than they are. The Power of "Meh" is to help us reframe our problems, view them more objectively, deal with them better, and feel much, much better in the process. The Power of "Meh" reduces anger, frustration, boredom, procrastination, envy, stress, and worry. After making short work of the negative, it allows us to attain positive states of mind, including gratitude, generosity, patience, humility, and kindness. A simple "meh" can help us replace the negative with the positive, with far-reaching results.
