YOU ARE A GENIUS A few years ago, I overcame a debilitating mental and physical illness called Fibromyalgia, a form of chronic fatigue syndrome. The key to my eventual recovery was in realising I’d become an expert - a genius, even - at negative thinking, which contributed to a spiral of chronic pain. Eventually, I came to the realisation that if I could become a genius at that, I equally had the potential to become a genius at positivity instead. It was incredibly hard work, but I broke the cycle and have been pain-free ever since! I believe everyone has genius potential. This piece is a tribute to positivity and a vibrant gateway to a new way of thinking.
