“Much of the vitality in a friendship lies in the honoring of differences, not simply in the enjoyment of similarities.”

Be brave. Invite someone you don’t usually hang out with to make plans over the weekend.

I accept what comes my way. Before reacting I take a deep breathe and remind myself that nothing is more important than my mental wellbeing.

“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”

Call or visit a friend or relative who hasn’t been feeling well lately. Showing that you care can be very powerful medicine.

I am thankful for my ability to give back and make a difference in the world.

“While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.”

Plan a date with your child or a young person you mentor and spend some alone-time together.

I keep only good memories of​ my present. I’m free of pain and sadness.

“It’s better to recall something you wish you’d said than something you wish you hadn’t.”

Fight the urge to gossip. Ask yourself, what do you want to be known for?

I am compassionate and understanding of others and their daily struggles.

“Your mind is a powerful thing. When you fill it with positive thoughts your life will start to change.”

Be a beacon of positivity. Remember, positive energy doesn’t remain stagnant; it has the power to transfer to another and turn their entire day around.

I’m ready to upgrade my life and to be grateful for everything.

“It is more rewarding to watch money change the world than watch it accumulate.”

Pay the toll for the person behind you (So, wait the extra two minutes and don’t use your E-ZPass).

I will do something new that I’ve never done before. I am open to learning and growing.

“Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”

Stop by your local community center or nursing home and offer your services.

Everything is happening for my ultimate good. I’m forever thankful.

“If you go looking for a friend, you’re going to find they’re very scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you’ll find them everywhere.”

Is this seat taken? Invite someone who is sitting alone to sit at your lunch table. Don’t stick to the status quo.

I choose to release past hurts now. They serve me no good.

“To cultivate a garden is to go hand in hand with Nature in some of her most beautiful processes.”

Take extra care to water the plants and flowers in your house.

Today I feel excited about my future. The best is yet to come!

“We must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy.”

Respond to someone when they ask you for a favor.

I am immensely thankful for the power to change my life to better.

“Strive to be the person you needed when you were younger.”

Lend someone money in a dignified manner. We’ve all been down on our luck. Let’s remember, we are here to see each other through.

I forgive and clear sadness from my life.

“Love yourself first, and everything else will fall into line.”

Take a little extra time to make yourself feel special today. Doll yourself up, make your favorite breakfast, wear your favorite shoes, the list is endless!

I am confident. Everything I desire is already within me.

“A little nonsense now and then is cherished by the wisest men.”

Laughter is the best mood enhancer. Send a funny picture, video, or article to someone.

I start each day with an attitude of gratitude.

“Treat everyone with respect and kindness. Period. No exceptions.”

Take the time to get to know something new about a coworker, or someone you pass by on your way into work. A new friend may be on the horizon.

I am grateful that I can forgive anybody or any circumstance.

“It’s amazing how much you can learn if your intentions are truly earnest.”

Adopt a grandfather or grandmother at a local nursing home. Bring a friend and make it part of your routine.

I believe in myself! I will never doubt my ability to do anything I set my mind to.

“There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.”

Take the time to visit someone who didn’t show up to school today because they were sick. Or make copies of the notes they missed for when they return. No one likes to feel out of the loop.

I’m grateful that I’m alive and having this physical life experience.
