- When it comes right down to it, relationships and love matter more than anything (Fredrickson, 2013).
- Strive to be a stand-up person.
- Invite moments of quiet into the day (Kabat-Zinn, 2012).
- Let yourself be readily awed by nature’s majesty—the sunrise, the wind, a rainbow, babies, snow, the changing cycles of the moon, the lakes and oceans (Kaufman, 2020).
- Quality matters. One important factor in establishing sustainable movement is the quality of the exercise. What I mean is that the form we use when lifting, running, jumping, etc.
- Mindset is important. Often, it isn’t any given experience that is a problem, but rather the way we think about or approach it that causes the problems.
