Along with bathing and eating your veggies, releasing emotions needs to become part of our daily routines.

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.

Being alone in nature is another way to feel the joy of beauty - and oneness with a greater whole.

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.

Listening is about making and strengthening a connection with another person.

When you're gripped by anxiety, worry, insomnia, or panic, make yourself shiver, quiver, tremble, and shudder. It seems silly, but it really works.

By staying active & learning to control negative emotions and thoughts, you can live out the rest of your life on a good note.

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

We have a choice at every moment. We can engage in sadness, anger or fear or we can choose joy, love, and peace.

Putting our expectations on others is a habit that keeps us feeling frustrated. It diminishes the amount of love we feel.

The process of setting a goal, learning the necessary steps to achieve it, and giving it your best until you've mastered it will generate high self-esteem and pride. Those are feelings associated with joy.

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

We're all unique and we all have our own talents. If you keep acknowledging your assets and accomplishments , and strive to be the best you can be, you'll let that 'not good enough' mentality go and be on your way to loving yourself, no matter what.

Good planning is the foundation of success for almost any project. Start by getting clear on your goal.
