It can be hard to stay motivated & maintain a positive attitude when you’re in a funk; today, that changes.
When you look for the good in others, you will appreciate them more & overlook their shortcomings. When you give a compliment, you make the world a better place- better for the other person & better for you! Think about it; you can actually improve YOUR mood & YOUR situation simply by uplifting others. Today, your challenge is to make someone’s day a little brighter. Help others in order to help yourself.
Action: Give a minimum of FIVE people MEANINGFUL compliments today. This can be as simple as complimenting their new shirt to as involved as congratulating them on a stellar performance during your team meeting. Guarantee you will bring a smile to their face (even if you’re working virtually right now & can’t see it!) & you will feel amazing as result.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, getting outside can be a great idea for both the physical and mental health of you and your family. But as with everything else these days, going outside needs to be done safely. Here are my top seven tips for what you need to think about as you put on your shoes and head outdoors.
1) Be careful about what you touch as you go outside or return home. For those who live in single-family homes this isn’t a big deal, but if you live in a shared building, you need to be careful about things like elevator buttons and doorknobs that others touch. Make a game of it so your kids don’t touch — pretend that surfaces (including walls) are hot — and wear gloves, or bring a paper towel or tissue so you can hit those buttons and touch doorknobs.
2) Bring hand sanitizer so that you can wash hands while you are out, if needed.
3) Choose the best outdoor space. Your own yard is best, but that isn’t an option for everyone. Ideally, you should go somewhere where you won’t encounter lots of other people. This has become a problem as lots of people head outdoors!
4) Keep up the physical distancing while you are outdoors. The chances of you catching something from someone as they pass you is quite small, but it’s best to give the widest berth you can.
5) Only go outdoors with the people you live with. It’s tempting to join another family for a walk, but it’s hard to keep six feet between you — and children may have a particularly hard time with this. Speaking of things that children have a hard time with…
6) Don’t touch stuff. So, no playing on playground equipment, sitting on benches, sharing balls, or touching signposts or mailboxes or anything else. You just don’t know who has touched it or when. Having the hand sanitizer helps when children and others forget.
7) Bring masks along. Hopefully they will stay in your backpack with your water bottles and snacks, but if keeping physical distance between you and others becomes difficult at any point, you can whip them out and put them on. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, children under 2 shouldn’t wear masks for safety reasons, but everyone else should have a mask — or some other face covering — on hand just in case.
It sounds like a lot, but it’s not — and it’s completely worth doing so that you can all get out of the house, get some exercise, have some fun, and feel a bit more normal.

Having posititve thoughts and a positive attitude throughout the day can boost our morale. If we focus too much on the negative or find something negative in everything we do, it only will bring us down. With Covid-19 being all we hear or talk about right now, lets focus more on us as we seem to have a little more time.
Take a few minutes each day to practice gratitude from the HEART, recommended by the American Heart Association.
1. Health: What did your body do for you today?
Did you know you take about eight million breaths a year? Your feet can take you up a mountain, your arms can hold someone you love. Take a minute to marvel at the finely tuned machinery of your body.
2. Eat: What did you feed your body to nourish yourself today?
Was it an old favorite, something you made, or something new and different? Did you eat fruits or vegetables? We comsume a lot of meals each year, each sitting is a new opportunity to fuel or bodies. Take a minute to reflect on what nourishment you comsumed.
3. Activity: What did you do that you really enjoyed today?
Did you get outside for a walk? Or try a home workout? Take a minute to think back on one particularly awesome moment.
4. Relationship: Who do you look forward to seeing?
Is it someone who sets your heart on fire, always has a smile for you, has your back, or makes you laugh until you cry? Take a minute to smile as you think about this special person.
5. Time: What are you doing right now?
Every single day you wake up with 24 brand new hours. The past is history, the future is a mystery, and today is a gift. That’s why they call it the present! Take a minute to be thankful for the gift of time.
