"Hope lifts us. Sometimes ever so slightly. Sometimes to great heights." - Charlene Costanzo
Hope energizes and empowers us.
Hope helps healing. It may even help us live longer, some studies show.
"It will help all live better," says Dr. Jerome Groopman.
So, let's feed hope.
Here are a few simple ways to do that:
Be kind to yourself.
Take deep breathing
breaks.
Curtail the intake of news reports.
Read, watch, and listen to uplifting stories.
Use positive affirmations.
Imagine good outcomes to every challenge.
Notice uplifts and give thanks for what stirred them.
Smile, often.
For sure, let's be kind to ourselves and one another.
Hopeful,
Charlene
THE FIFTH GIFT IS HOPE.
