This is a collection of tips I'm figuring out as I go.
- Don't pick something that "hurts" to appreciate. It makes appreciation somewhat less-than-genuine.
- Spending some concentrated time "forcing" yourself to appreciate - outloud - whatever you're working on for that day - definitely helps.
- Labels stick, choose carefully for yourself and your loved ones, especially your kids.
- Don't be surprised when the universe yanks your chain.
- Let guilt go...it's a waste of energy.
- Expect to re-evaluate along the way and don't be afraid to make changes.
- Courage is not for wimps. I'm not a wimp.
- Sharing this journey makes me feel naked - not a pretty sight.
