Challenge of the Day – Take a day off social media
While it can be fun keeping up with friends, family and the Kardashians (jk), it can also cause a lot of undue stress. A Pew Study found a correlation between social media time and stress. Psychological Stress and Social Media Use discusses the pressure to post, comment and like statuses and pictures.
These technologies are said to takeover people’s lives, creating time and social pressures that put people at risk for the negative physical and psychological health effects that can result from stress.
There is also a toll on one’s psyche being aware of other people’s stressful life events. So unplug and take the stress off for a day.
Instead of being irritated or jealous by someone who is bragging, be flattered they are trying so hard to impress you.
be GRATEFUL
Count your blessings
Feeling down?
Start taking stock of all that is good in your life. Many studies have found that being grateful for what you have can have significant affects on one’s happiness.

Challenge of the Day – Text/email someone that you love… and tell them that you love them
“The closest thing to being cared for is to care for someone else.”
― Carson McCullers, The Square Root of Wonderful
We don’t always take the time to tell the best people in our lives how we feel. If a person or people take part in making you a happy person, let them know. A simple message would be good for you and them 🙂
