A wonderful piece, Donna. I think you have picked the perfect time of year to send out this super helpful message, and for me it has been just that — super helpful!

I really like what you said here —

“They work because they help you feel better and, as simple as it sounds, when you feel better you do better.” — because you provided a clear way this can help us and that’s very important.

Also, I loved the little fact about neuroscientists not watching the news that was good to hear. I stopped watching the news completely a long time ago, and I always felt kinda bad about doing so, like I ‘should’ stay up to date, but it’s just too negative and energy draining for me to engage in.

Thanks you, Donna. :)

Pure gold, Donna! Thank you! Although it seems like common sense now, I hadn't thought of the importance of energy levels in implementing change. But of course that's a HUGE factor! With my commitment to invoke comfort in 2023, among other things, I began aligning with circadian rhythms (essentially living in harmony with the sun cycle) and it has been a massive game changer as far as my energy levels. But now I'm also going to add smiling at myself and a few other gems. ♥️
