Takeaways

Kelly

  1. Find one simple tool that helps you get through a hard day or to build a new habit -- and you will be stronger over time.
  2. Connect with someone else when you are in a traumatic or difficult situation, even if you don’t talk. Do not isolate yourself.

Maria

  1. Look back and see how long it’s been since the last time you did something you are trying to change, and compare behavior to how you were before -- not to how you want to be later.
  2. Productive venting is important to say how we really feel, in a safe place. Then once your feelings are out, decide what you want to do next to move forward.
Quote of the Week


“People think that acceptance means that everything’s okay. Acceptance is acknowledging your starting point and just saying, “Okay, I acknowledge where I am, I accept where I am and now I can choose more clearly what direction I want to go.’” -- Karen Allen
