Challenge your negative

thinking. Tell yourself hopeful

stories about what’s happening

in your life.

First, be kind to

yourself, then be kind to

others.

Maintain perspective, it's not always about you.

Keep strong connections to significant people, causes and faith/spirituality.

Do something every day that has for real meaning for you.

Use your character strengths at home and work.

Be grateful for what you have. Compare yourself

to those that have less than you, rather than more. Focus on

the good things that are happening every day in your life.

When things are tough, look for how to accept it,

what you can learn, and what opportunities arise.

Exercise regularly and get enough sleep.

Persevere but remain open minded and flexible. Ask

for help, even when it feels awkward. Help others, especially

when you are also struggling.

Choose joy especially in the face of disappointment,

and love, stress, heartache, hardship and disruptive change.
