Embrace 2020 23/365: using my words

Welp, I have not been the easiest person to work or live with this week so yesterday I started an exercise of using my words. Most dramatically (and silly!), to combat my stress I kept saying, EVERYTHING IS GREAT! EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE! like a crazy person and most of the time just to myself (positive self-talk FTW). But also, I started pausing and saying, whenever warranted: "I'm sorry." "I appreciate you." "Thank you for..." I basically keep reminding myself to do the things we encourage kids to do all the time: express gratitude + say sorry if you might have hurt someone's feeling or done something wrong.

So to you, on this glorious Thursday when EVERYTHING IS GREAT! EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE! I say to you: I APPRECIATE YOU
