A resource for our community with practical steps to remain positive.
@andygrammer, a self-confessed grounded optimist, was asked to define optimism on @simonsinek’s podcast A Bit of Optimism.
I like this particular quote very much because it implies that no matter what we go through, it will ultimately make us better.

Hey friends in the US!
So much of what's happening in our world is out of our control. But, we all have a voice and we can use it. With out vote, we can create change and support the progress of causes we care about. Voting is such good trouble. Let's get in it!
Click the link in our bio to learn about voting in your state. Educate yourself. Make a plan. Vote early. Tell a friend. 🗳
“I have walked that long road to freedom. I have tried not to falter; I have made missteps along the way. But I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can only rest for a moment, for with freedom come responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not ended.” - Nelson Mandela

If there's something you have been thinking about doing but haven't gotten around to it, now is the time! Give it a try and see what happens. According to Michael Jordan's teammate, he never worried about missing a shot because he didn't see the point in worrying about a shot he hadn't taken. To worry would be premature. Imagine if we all adopted that mindset? #mondaymotivation
Earlier this week, I shared one of the ways to practice intentional gratitude. It was starting a gratitude list or journal where you document things are grateful for every day.
Today, I want to share two more ways to practice intentional gratitude. The first is pretty simple and it's something we've been told since we were kids: Count your blessings. The second, meditation, has become more popular recently and is a very effective strategy to live in the now. #gratitudeweek

Before the day is done, I wanted to share another quote from this week’s blog post on gratitude.
Last week, as I was trying to plan out the next week for FOTP, I could tell that there would be a lot of uncertainty coming. Uncertainty can be incredibly unsettling. I chose to focus on gratitude. I discovered the work of Robert Emmons who is literally one of the top two researchers IN THE WORLD on gratitude. No matter what’s going on, finding a way to get back to the big picture can help calm those anxious feelings even temporarily is vital. From my experience, intentional gratitude can help with that. #gratitudeweek
