I've been reading Dr. Barbara Fredrickson's book Positivity whose premise is that the more positive you are, the more you flourish in life.  The goal is to have a positivity ratio of 3 or above.  To calculate your own positivity score, take the following short Quiz.  I'm curious to see how the average FBG scores.  I tallied a sweet 0.3.  

 
i got a 4 bromigo and that my friend is some good clean sweet high live path of the brohan livin take that to the bank 

 
Got an even 1, which isn't bad since I was on the disgusting NYC subway, worked outside for 2 hours in a downpouring rain that I wasn't prepared for and went back home on the subway at around 10pm, soaked from head to toe, probably looking like a lunatic. The event I worked was for a 9/11 ceremony, right by the pools, so it kept me from feeling selfish about my situation. Always a humbling feeling down there and a mix of emotions yesterday.

I'm sure if I took it on most other days, it would be over 3.

 
1 - I haven't really had any high-highs or low-lows in the past 24 hours.  Just an average day.

the first-responders thing? nice- good for you. :thumbup:

 
Oops. I didn't read the instructions about the last day. Whoops. I have no idea how I felt yesterday. I wonder if not reading the instructions gives you an automatic score.

I am pretty positive most of the time unless I watch cable news or go into the PSF, then negativity takes over fast.

Jam, we gotta grab a few at the Patriot if work keeps ya down that way  :suds:

 
0.57

As a Bills fan, I know that life is mainly a journey of pain and sorrow, with moments of happiness existing only to deepen the bitterness of the next inevitable wave of suffering.  Pain walks with all of us hand-in-hand until the sweet release of death.

:thumbup:  I used to work a few times a month at Bank of America down on Vesey but they consolidated and moved everything to Bryant Park. I used to always hit up Barleycorn for a few before getting the bus. I'll keep you in mind next time I'm in the area.

 
1.13 - pretty much answered moderately to everything except the extreme negative stuff. 

 
Oh.  I didn't read the instructions. I killed in my softball league championship series last night and had a fine/normal work day so my score would be high. 

Dead nuts 3.0 per how I have felt since yesterday.

I filled it out this way at first, thinking how dumb it was, but at the last question noticed I was doing it wrong.   :lol:

1.2 today, but it’s been a particularly bad 24 hours.
