Read & Relax — listen

We can learn and grow by being near others who are positive, kind, strong and encouraging. Share your life with people who want to lift you up and take you along with them, instead of pushing you down and leaving you behind.

If you experience a set back in a goal that you've set for yourself, do not give up. Take it day by day and work at it. Focus on the positive things you've accomplished, and remember tomorrow is a new day. A fresh start. Take on the challenges that are in front of you with your head held high. You can do this!

Avoid gossip. Reminding others to be kind is also a reminder to yourself. We can get caught up in the day to day stresses of life and transfer our stress to others. Take a step back and breathe. Refocus and move forward. Being negative can be the easy way, but being positive is a better solution. - Ashley Hunter

Check in with people. Lend an ear. Be your best self, and help others be their best. Standing together makes us stronger!

Stop and take a look around. Look at who you share your life with, look at how you spend your time, but make sure you notice what you are missing. What would make you happier? What would make your life better? How could you make someone else's life brighter? It only takes a few moments to check in with yourself and others.
