Thriving Under Pressure 
I’m moving the world this month by spreading positivity every single day. Whether it’s leaving a note for someone to find, a shout out on social media to the person that inspires me or doing good for charity 🙂 Making January a positive month instead of January blues 😍
How inspiring Claire ! I can feel the positive energy all the way from your country to mine & back again.
Shine on ! Shine on !

To answer your question, I’ve gotten much better at recognizing what brings positive energy and focusing more on that.
My children, this is the first thing comes to my mind, the blessing of family love.
Wishing you all the best for the new year,
Nahla

Thank you Dr.Andrea, that’s very affirming to hear and thats what I hope for!
Gosh there are a lot of kind and selfless answers here and my first thought to your question was that I was excited about sitting down with a hot drink! Those are soothing though, right? Hot drinks for everyone! Real lovely comments from everyone though. 💜
Amen to small pleasures & warm comforts! It’s the little things that rev up our engines to seek the greater things.
Which is why I’m equally excited about our ordinary joys.
Something I wrote about here: https://drandreadinardo.com/2016/04/16/ordinary-joys/
