On some level, most of us understand that emotions are contagious. But what we may not fully appreciate is that we have the ability to cultivate more positive emotions and direct our daily experiences. Once you understand that your emotions carry a vibration you become more attuned to what you’re feeling and how your attitude impacts others.

We all like to be at our best and shine. And yet, we power through so often that we’re often operating from exhaustion than creative brilliance. Fortunately, the remedy is delightfully simple. Take a break. Do something you enjoy. Nourish yourself in some small way, every day.

It turns out that life-enhancing technologies are anything but. Studies show we check our phones roughly 80x/day and give them five hours of our attention. And as much as we love our phones they are not loving us back. In fact, our connection addiction is actually detrimental to our health and well-being.

There’s only so much emotional stress we can take before we get into a funk. And given that most of us experience some level of daily stress, it’s important that we also have positive daily rituals that keep our energy strong and boost our resilience.
