o Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.

o What other people think of you is none of your business.
o Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
o However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

“I am thankful for __________.” “Today I accomplished____________.”
o Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.
o Enjoy the ride. Remember that this is not Disneyland and you certainly don’t want a “fast pass.”
