Thinking back.

Nostalgia- It's a strange phenomenon.
It always seems like we remember only the good or only the bad. We pick and choose our memories, as if we are picking out a new pair of shoes. If I'm feeling particularly happy, I might choose the bright yellow shoes and only remember the fond times. If I'm feeling upset, I may only remember the hard times. What situations or people on your life deserve a fair assessment? What things have you unknowingly (or knowingly) tipped the scales on? Try to bring that teeter-totter back into balance. Give your life a fair assessment.

Try, try again.

Todays post is about resilience. In times of frustration, anger, fear, stress and exhaustion, how do you act? Do you retreat? Stand your ground? Take a backseat approach? Although there isn't one correct answer, there are times in which each action is appropriate. I will bounce back when things gets me down and I will come back with even more energy. I am resilience.  Take a second to think about anything that may be dragging you down today.  What is the best way that you can approach it? Should you try a different tactic? Switch it up; if something isn't working, try approaching it a different way.  Turn your world upside down and suddenly, things may look upright.
