I realized there was a better way to broadcast the news that empowered people to believe they could overcome challenges.

Starting our day off with a dose of negativity can have lasting effects.

With technology and over-scheduling, we are forgetting to invest time in simple connective moments with others.

If you want a particular behavior from someone else, try spotlighting those times when he or she is already doing it.

I try to only vent when I really need to process something, and let the rest go.

When someone comes to you to talk about a problem, if you move the conversation on to a discussion of potential solutions, you fuel their creative problem solving abilities on average by 20% - not to mention you make them feel better! You make them smarter and more empowered to tackle challenges.

Catching up on pictures of your good friend's kids ahead of a visit across the country to see her is a great way to deepen your time together. Following near-strangers can leave us feeling detached and lonely.
