Action is your power pusher to new behaviors that open your heart to freedom.

In a place that feels safe and private, constructively express your sadness by allowing yourself to cry. While crying, acknowledge your hurts and losses. Don't indulge any negative thoughts about yourself. Just keep telling yourself, "I'm fine. It's okay to cry. I just feel sad." You'll immediately feel washed clean, even joyful.

Giving appreciations, praise, and gratitudes feels good and puts good vibes in the environment.

Action is your power pusher to new behaviors that open your heart to freedom.

Across the board, it's infinitely more effective to praise actions that you want to encourage than to punish those you disapprove of.

Making sweeping statements such as 'no sweets ever again' has never worked before, and it's not going to work now. You'll get quickly overwhelmed and punt on any positive momentum you created.

Kindness manifests in a lot of ways, such as acts of compassion, helpfulness, empathy, forgiveness, and caring. These gestures kindle and ignite feelings of love.
