Find out what makes you kinder, what opens you up and brings out the most loving, generous and unafraid version of you - and go after those things as if nothing else matters. Because, actually, nothing else does.

Kindness has been linked directly to internal happiness, yet we spend years striving for happiness and ignoring kindness to then wonder what we're doing wrong. We often hold back from being kind because we don’t know what to do or we don’t think our actions will make an impact, but they do and the research proves this.

So how can we practice kindness on daily basis?
- Call someone you have not spoken with recently. It is easier to feel and express emotions through phone conversations and you may share a deeper connection with this person than you would through text or email.
- Engage in a simple daily gesture to help someone else. Simple acts of kindness can go a long way.
- Donate your time, money, or skills. Volunteering is a great way to give back to your community and it can also give you a sense of fulfillment. - Be kind to yourself. Self-care is an act of kindness that often goes unnoticed.
- Practice forgiveness. We all make mistakes, pick fights, and say hurtful words to others, but we all have the chance to make amends and ask for forgiveness. Asking for forgiveness can be a way to start over, put hurtful feelings behind us, and move on.

Take a moment to breathe.

Notice: you are okay, you have survived, and you have made it. You are going to make it. You are alive. And you are breathing. Your heart is beating, you exist, and you are strong, you have survived.

Maintaining positivity is a daily challenge that requires focus and attention. You must be intentional about staying positive if you’re going to overcome the brain’s tendency to focus on threats.

To anyone who needs it: Look at us. We did it again. Another week. We're another week closer to the things we are waiting and hoping for, no matter when those things are going to happen. We know it doesn't seem like much, but it's something to be proud of. So, thank you for reading this. Thank you for being here. Thank you for connecting with us. Thank you for constantly fighting your demons.
Stay strong. We're in this together. 💙

Some people seem to struggle each day to find contentment or a happy way of living, while others easily face each day with spirit.

Have you ever thought about which type of person you are? Or how this might describe those around you? There's value in surrounding yourself with people who know how to lift their own spirits – which means they'll probably lift yours, too!
It's one of our favorite tips for learning how to be happier.

1. Happiness is contagious: One of the best ways to find happiness is to find those who know how to nurture and create their own happiness, and share it freely.
2. Laughter is a great way to bond with others: A great way to connect with others is to share laughter or spend time having fun(movies, memes, games) with them.
3. Less complaining is good for everyone: We all know life can be hard. We all have our struggles. But isn’t it refreshing to spend time with people who don’t waste time and energy complaining? You can almost feel your spirits lifting around someone who is willing to see the good in things.
4. Learn coping strategies: We all have our strategies for dealing with hard days. But it can’t hurt to take inspiration from those around you. They may have ideas you haven’t considered. Better yet, you might be invited to join them! That might become your new favorite outlet on stressful days.
5. We become the people around us: There's an old saying that we become like those we choose to hold closest. Look around at your inner circle of friends and confidantes. Are they who you would like to become? Do you admire and respect them? If not, perhaps you should reconsider, cut toxic people out of your life and open your circle to new inspiration.

It’s worth the time it may take to consciously surround yourself with people who can create goodness for themselves, and those around them.

Take a look around you and see – do you seem to be drawn to happy people? Why or why not?

As much as we all would like to believe that healing happens overnight, it doesn't.

No amount of hoping, wishing, or praying will fix all of your problems in one day or even a week, for that matter.
It's time for people to understand that healing can take a lot of time. We have heard the argument "people treat mental illness different than a physical ailment because they can't actually see mental illness" and it's true. You wouldn't look at someone with a broken leg walking on crutches and tell them "just shake it off buddy, get some sleep and you'll feel better in the morning". So why is it still acceptable to tell someone struggling with depression, anxiety or any other mental illness to "just shake it off, you'll get over it... things can't possibly be that bad!!!"

Every single person struggling with any form of mental illness (whether it be an eating disorder, depression, anxiety, or anything else that might not always be physically visible) deals with their illness (as well as their healing process) differently. It’s not the same for everybody. It hits us all in different waves. It is unfair for anyone to assume that they know what's best for another person and even more unfair to try and downplay what someone else is going through by telling them "it's not that bad"

Just stop. It's not a contest to see "oh, woe is me! my problems are so much worse than yours". It's not a cry for attention. Mental illness is real. Trying to recover from a backslide is hard to do and even harder to do when you have people constantly trying to invalidate how you feel.
