Increasing Positive Thinking
We all have negative thoughts. There is no way around that. One thing we can do, though, is change how often we have these thoughts, how we react to them, and acknowledge why we are having them.
Building Confidence
Confidence is an important skill to have, but it does take work in order to maintain. The steps to becoming more confident can be intimidating, so it is helpful if you start small and build up.

Maintaining Friendships in a Pandemic
While it is important to follow the guidelines for Covid-19, it is also important to keep relationships with your friends and family. Allow this pandemic to show you that physical closeness and face-to-face interactions aren’t the only thing keeping you and your friends connected.

When you first hear the word boundary, it may make sound like a way to disconnect and separate from others. Actually, the opposite is more true.
Validation: One Skill That Can Make all the Difference
Validation is communicating understanding of another person’s emotions, thoughts and perspective in a given situation. Using this skill leads us to feeling heard and understood.
