Encouragement at the tips of your lashes!

Some days it can feel like life would be better with an applause soundtrack playing in the background. Encouragement, while so valuable, can sometimes be hard to come by. Try this: create the intention that every time you blink it's like tiny little applause just for you! Encouragement at the tips of your lashes! This way, you are being applauded throughout the day without having to change a thing or even remember. But when you do, it's a nice surprise and can even bring a smile. Smiling, we know, creates positive chemical changes in the body, so it's a win, win, win all around.

Pairing a positive intention with something I was already doing was crucial when I felt like I just couldn't manage one more thing. Cheering myself on in the midst of blech, felt out of reach and in the category of just too much. One day my sweet niece told me to imagine every blink as tiny applause for me! Brilliant and it works.
