I thought it was so interesting to learn that the brain prioritizes negative input over positive input. I have always been a person to be very hard on myself and sometimes get stuck on negative things. It touched on focusing on the bad news over the good news which was also very interesting to me. I am the kind of person when given the choice to hear the good or bad news first, I always pick the bad. I think the HEAL method is a great way to focus on positivity instead of getting stuck on the negative aspect of things. I think this is really important, especially with our generation, and the way the world is, to not get fixed on the negatives.

Rejection does hurt. Rejection never feels good, and in this day and age, like the article says, rejection is more prevalent than ever. People can hide behind a tiny screen and say things they would NEVER say in real life, leading to rejection of somebody else. "The greatest damage rejection causes is usually self-inflicted. Just when our self-esteem is hurting most, we go and damage it even further." The best quote I've ever heard! It's really important to learn that mindset is a huge part of rejection. If you can simply have a more positive mindset, and a positive outlook, maybe the rejection won't hurt as bad.

My new outlook on positivity.

Introduction- Haley Weger

Hi! I'm Haley Weger and I am a senior this year, graduating in May. I'm from a suburb of Houston, called Friendswood. My parents just bought a house on a small island near Galveston, so the next time I go home I will be living there. I am a Journalism major, on the broadcast track, with a minor in Human Relations. The best part about my major is that I am involved in our student-run newsroom through Gaylord, so I get real-life practice being on camera. I have the chance to learn all of the ropes and exactly how a real newsroom is run before I graduate! Outside of my classes and OU Nightly, I am also involved in greek life and the OU spirit program. I am starting my fourth year on the OU Pom Squad, and am also a member of Tri Delta. I also work at Ada High School on the side, teaching their pom squad. Right now my favorite TV shows I'm watching are Yellowstone and Ozark, but my all time favorites are New Girl and Friends. In the future, I would like to become a news or sport...

Week 11 Story: The Evil Fish

The Evil Fish. Once upon a time, 12 little fish lived in a big giant pond. These fish were very very small, smaller than most perch or bait fish. The fish were all very timid, and scared of the big pond. The big pond was also a family member of theirs: their grandmother. But, the grandmother pond was not only inhabited by the 12 little fish. She also was the home to six big huge, evil garfish. These fish were mean, and they always tried to eat the little fish. They would chase the little fish and scare them. They would back them into corners of the pond, and separate them from the group of 12. The small fish had finally had enough. They begged their grandmother river to help them. She knew this would not be an easy task, as the garfish were surprisingly clever. But, she loved her grand-fish, and would do anything to help them. She racked her brain for an idea to outsmart the garfish, and save her baby fish, and finally came up with one. She called upon the clouds above her,...
