How to Stop Gossip

Have you ever noticed that people seem to bond over gossiping about others? It's human nature. Most of us don't mean to be malicious, but the truth is that it is hurtful and a waste of time and energy. Plus, when we talk negatively about others, we dull our own glow. It's just negative. What would be better is if we could realize when we are gossiping ... take a pause ... and turn the conversation around. Try to find something more positive to talk about!
