April: Appreciate Others
Acknowledge Reality
Admit that you or someone else is feeling negative. Keep it in perspective and remember feelings like clouds pass over.
Adventuring
Anticipate, savor, express and recall are four steps to get the most out of an outing. The key is timing. Anticipate beforehand. Savor and express during. Recall afterwards.
Wake Up with a Smile
Want to feel good in the morning? Smile, it biochemically helps you feel good.
Invest Time in a Project
Last month you challenged yourself. Did you accomplish your goal? If so, start a new project. If not, carry on!
