Positivity offset

Positivity offset is a way to help keep yourself feeling better by focusing on good things in your life. If something bad happens, like you get a bad grade on a test at school, then you can think about something positive to balance it out, like remembering a fun activity you had with your family. By focusing on the good things, you can help prevent feeling too down when something bad happens.
