Stuff can get in the way of you. Throw something out. You'll feel freer, and you'll have less to clean. Do it now!



Have a trusted friend send you an awesome email or text. Ask them to type awesome things about you for a full minute and hit send. Then do the same for them. You'll both feel better about yourselves.


Take a walk. If it's sunny, that's great. If it's raining, wear a raincoat. Forward movement is good for your soul. Every step you take will improve your view of your circumstances.


Text a friend you can trust to reply. Say something positive and upbeat, perhaps a lighthearted joke. When they reply, keep your response light. Soon, you'll build a history of fun responses you can refer to on your phone anytime you need a lift.


Maybe you like to tell stories. Contact a school or library to volunteer for a children's story hour. Is cooking your thing? Offer to support a bake sale. You'll enjoy it, and you'll help people in the process.
