Who needs Thomas the Tank Engine-like positive reinforcement when you can chew and be motivated at the same time. Each pack of Daily Affirmation Gum contains two fruit-flavoured gum balls and an uplifting affirmation. As Confucius says, ‘life is sweet’. And so it is.
On my best days I feel just like a great white shark. Not all-conquering and indestructible — though I have my moments — but rather that if I ever stop moving, if I take a moment to correct myself in the full glare of the light, I’ll probably sink. Read more
