Our thinking can either motivate us to try new things or hold us back. So let’s look at the differences between irrational and rational and how to shift our thinking. So we can live life to the fullest.

Have you ever read through comments or read an article online and ended feeling angry or sad? The type of media we consume can have an impact on our mental health.
