On #WorldKindnessDay, let's slow down and take some time to appreciate the small acts of kindness that make our lives brighter — a compliment, a smile, a hug, an act of service, a moment of listening rather than judging.

You never know what someone is going through. Choosing kindness and compassion can make all the difference. 🧡

Even a single session of exercise can leave a measurable trace in the brain networks that organize emotion, which helps explain why movement has such a powerful effect on mood. https://t.co/fQTPDbCT9F

Your mental health matters. Habits such as getting good sleep, managing stress, hydrating/nourishing/moving your body, setting boundaries, making time for relaxation & things you enjoy go a long way to help you prioritize your #mentalhealth daily.

"Don’t let a 10-minute problem consume a 24-hour day. The email was uncomfortable. The train was late. The conversation went poorly. Feel it, deal with it, then allow the rest of your life to remain intact.” ~Colby Kultgen

"Please choose joy. Wear the outfit. Order dessert. Watch the sunset. Laugh often and loudly. Light that candle you're saving. Dance in your kitchen. Celebrate the small stuff. Take road trips. Tell people you love them. Smile at strangers. Do things that scare you. Say yes to adventures—big and small. Life is short. Choose joy whenever you can.” ~Blue Iris

"Hard truth: If you wait until you feel better to start living, you might be waiting forever. Go live your life. Do it sad. Do it anxious. Do it uncertain. Because healing doesn't always come before the experience. Sometimes, the experience is what heals you.” @DrCarolineLeaf

Our mindset is so important.

Do we see paths to progress?
Do we thank people for their time and efforts?
Do we appreciate what's working well in our lives?
Do we use our own strengths to help make the world a better place? 🌎🙏💙

"Every time you replace 'this is overwhelming’ with 'what’s the first step?’ you shift brain activity from your amygdala (fear) to your prefrontal cortex (problem-solving). That’s neuroplasticity in real time.” @DrDominicNg

A growth mindset helps us to learn and grow
from any mishaps. There will be mishaps
on our journeys in life. It is our choice
to decide to use them as stepping
stones to a productive path
forward or not. With a
growth mindset, we
can reach higher
ground.

Optimize your health and life with these important tips 💯

[Beth Frates MD @BethFratesMD]

Emotions are like waves that come and go.
Sometimes they are huge and others
they are small. But, we know
one thing-- they will all
disappear.
🌊
So have no fear when you are overcome
with a tough emotion. Talk with
a friend.Or take a walk.
This too will end.
🙏
