Let us not live in fear at this time - but allow us to make changes everyday that can help us to improve our lives. The anecdote to fear is love and education: empower yourself! Here are some small and easy steps written by Tom Corley, author and contributor to CNBC Make it - PS thank you so so so much for your love letters and support, after the loss of Sisi. I am so grateful to you.

-dream setting: think of achieving your desires, better accompaniments, dreams and even mapping them out - it can be as small as note taking on a post-it note, a pinterest page, a business plan, new goals or as big as a vision board, write them down & dont let anyone stop you... I certainly didn't! 

-educate and or practice for at least 30 minutes each day: some of my favorite topics on education? - Ikebana, photography, design, writing, enrichment of better writing and journalism, documentaries. Kaizen.

-exercise daily: get the circulation going, blood flowing and release more endorphins. commit to better quality workouts and ones that leave you feeling great with real results!

-cultivate better friendships and relationships; be honest, show up on time, be sincere, ask a friend to lunch, call on a birthday, call during a time of loss or hardship  - stop being so damn flaky. Be good to those you love and who love you. 

-find time to rest and relax: its okay to take some big breaks! Its also okay to turn technology off more often and read more books, step into nature, sleep as much as possible and cook more at home. You are not missing out on anything! 

thank you for listening, please leave a five star review on apple and spotify xx Candice
