Take a moment to take in the good —and 19 other unsolicited suggestions, in no particular order.

Acknowledge what’s going right, not just what’s going wrong.

Be grateful for the people in your life who support you and care about you.

Celebrate the wins, no matter how small.

Treat yourself and pay attention to your needs. #SelfCare isn’t just a trend.

Focus on what you learned from each experience, and what you’ll avoid next time.

Don’t always be trying to get to the end of the week. (You’d skip through 70% of your life that way).

Acknowledge workers you encounter and reward great service, instead only complaining when something’s not right.

Always ask why. Then ask why again.

Send that LinkedIn new job congratulations message or comment.

Think about things from their perspective, too. #Empathy

Appreciate the sun, even if it’s colder than you’d like outside.

Share or repost something positive.

Don’t take people or your time for granted.

Create without worrying about who’s judging.

Challenge yourself, especially when nobody’s watching.

Do something future you would thank you for.

Know when to say no.

Don’t wait for permission.

Enjoy your pricey strawberry #matcha latte guilt-free while it’s still in season. (It’s not anymore!)

A few random things I’ve learned and recommend. If you read them all, I hope at least 1 is useful to you in some way.
