Tip of the Day
For a quick boost anytime, list 5 things you're proud of.
1. I survived cancer/divorce/losing a spouse (fill in your triumph)!
2. I'm a responsible employee. I show up when I'm supposed to, calling off sick only once in a while. I usually work through depression, but will take off when I have something contagious. I go above and beyond most of the time.
3. I'm generous. I don't have much, but I do give to people who have even less.
4. I am constantly learning new things and examining my point-of-view.
5. I spend a lot of time with my elderly parents and help them when they need it.
You get the idea. Give it a try!
