Mental Wellness Tip
What does Brene’ Brown, world renounced speaker, author and educator, say her research indicates is THE most challenging emotion? JOY! To experience joy, it takes an incredible amount of vulnerability and the ability to practice gratitude. So often we are more afraid to lose what makes us happy than to embrace it. That kind of thinking is part of our DNA. It takes effort for us as human beings to combat that negativity for that overwhelming joy to take root and grow. Our Sources of Strength exercises and campaigns will focus on the positivity and gratitude needed to cultivate resilient young people capable of true joy. What a blessing!
