I just want to know what’s going to happen next. Is that so bad?
According to my wife, it IS that bad. She can’t take it anymore. Betsy says, “Just tell me how it turns out.”
In my quest to stay on top of the news, I pay a DEAR price. The TV app on my phone must think I want to REALLY quit smoking because they sell me the same smoking-cessation pill again and again.
Watching the same commercial 20+ times per day, I’ve memorized the potential side effects of the drug, including my favorite: “new or worse mental health problems, such as changes in behavior or thinking, aggression, hostility, agitation, depressed mood, or suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stoppin….” Then the announcer pauses to adopt an optimistic, neighborly tone, and suggests, “Ask your doctor about….” Really?
Ask them WHAT, exactly? I feel like I know all that I need to know.
Now I’m DEFINITELY in. I don’t care if I never smoked.

That upward spiral can include greater mental acuity, increased connection with others, and has even been shown in lab research to broaden your “scope of awareness,” essentially expanding your positive outlook.
But you don’t have to take it from me (and lab-tested findings).
