Gratitude
The act of gratitude is the readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness, with the particular quality of remaining thankful. Watch Sarah explain how to practice gratitude, daily.
Growth Mindset
Proposed by Stanford professor Carol Dweck in her book Mindset, a growth mindset describes people who believe their personal success depends on time and effort, and that their skills and intelligence can be improved with persistence. Watch Sarah detail traits of a successful person with a growth mindset.
Optimism
At the very core of optimism is hope, and to practice optimism, one must be confident about the future. Sarah explains how hope and confidence can turn your life on to a happier path.
Self-Compassion
Though compassion towards others is extremely important, one must learn to be self-compassionate in order to thrive, have greater satisfaction with life, be motivated, be physically well, and to have the resilience to properly cope with stressful events, when they occur. Watch to learn other benefits of being self-compassionate.
