Every now and then I find myself needing some extra inspirational advice, especially during the pandemic. What makes me an expert in this area? Well I’ve been through a lot personally and professionally and learned some lessons that may help you too. I wanted to share with you a list of inspirational and motivational actions that I have been keeping on simple things we can do to be better, kinder people and give back to others. These are easy things each of us can incorporate into our every day lives that will make a big impact. Try them out let me know what you think.
- Find the good in people
- Pay good deeds forward
- Make someone smile
- Extend a helping hand
- Dwelling on the past won’t get you to your future
- Assume good intent with everyone – you never know what someone is dealing with

- Don’t say yes when you mean no
- Feel grateful – look for the silver linings
- You are not defined by your job title

- Forgive people and give others the benefit of the doubt but it’s okay to walk away from those who hurt you
- Puppies cure all problems (I just got one after losing my beloved dog last month). We all are spending more time at home and so this creates this perfect environment in which to train a pet. Plus, pets make you happier (I know this but studies back me up). Meet my new French bulldog puppy Lucy.

- Experiences are so much more powerful than material possessions
