An article appeared in the Huffington Post today suggested nine ways to increase our happiness on a daily basis. Seven of the nine were CJ voices/ actions that promote emotional intelligence.
1. An act of kindness (helpfulness, service)
2. Schedule Fun (to hope and dream)
3. Flow…distractions such as projects where you lose yourself (motivating oneself )
4. Eating Healthy (regulating one’s moods/hungry kids & people are not nice.)
5. Call a friend (empathize/share)
6. Express Gratitude (persist in the face of frustration) Switching our focus to what we are grateful for at trying times.
And this is the way to end bullying, yes????
