Yesterday, I met up with a friend to catch up on the highlights of our year. She asked me what I did to keep a positive attitude. Upon reflection, I shared with her three things that I believe have helped me make every moment count.<\/p>\n
I’ve learned to follow my instincts.<\/strong> They have always led me down the right path. By listening to my inner voice, I also honor my truth.<\/p>\n I’m fortunate to know many people with fresh and unique insights.<\/strong> It’s amazing how much I’ve learned from them. Staying in touch keeps me infused with new inspiration.<\/p>\n I feel good about myself when I’m being productive.<\/strong> Creating gives me a sense of accomplishment and it moves me closer to my goal. Afterward I can reward myself with something that provides pure enjoyment and relaxation.<\/p>\n After my friend and I parted ways, I thought of another thing that helps me stay positive. Gratitude.<\/strong> Saying thanks reminds me how much I’m surrounded by generous people and validates them in return.<\/p>\n So as this year comes to a close, I would like to take a moment to thank you<\/strong> for your interest in Barkada Circle. Because of your support, we launched successfully last fall and are now preparing for the next workshop series, so stay tuned!<\/p>\n Lastly, I’d like to share with you these photos<\/strong><\/a> from our inaugural sessions and the video<\/strong><\/a> of our kickoff last November featuring the storytelling of Free Street Theater.<\/p>\n Enjoy welcoming 2012 and I look forward to seeing you soon.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yesterday, I met up with a friend to catch up on the highlights of our year.
