If you’re a 20-Something (or heck, a 50-Something) paralyzed by the pressure to have your future figured out? Take a deep breath.
You’re not doing it wrong.
Becoming what and who we want to be when we grow up doesn’t mean waiting for an epiphany, it means taking clear decisive action one step at a time.
There are no wrong directions. Only forward.
Even better, there are no wrong moves. With every action we gain more information, which helps us determine the next action. Even a half-step forward builds momentum and clarity.

Take hopeful action (even if you don’t feel hopeful).
Building positivity helps us become resilient against negativity. Chronic stress and negative emotions can impair our brain function, and in today’s world, we’re constantly exposed to negative events. Positive emotions, on the other hand, improve our health and provide resources for growth and change, enhancing our ability to bounce back. I use a daily system proven to build and strengthen the positive side of your brain, boosting your mood, performance, and relationships.
Try this right now.
Optimism doesn’t mean opposite. Practicing positive emotions doesn’t require a drastic change. You don’t have to go from sad to happy instantly. A small pivot towards interest, amusement, or awe can make a difference and improve your mental health, performance, and relationships. Hug a friend or your pet for a least 10 seconds. Take 3 deep breaths and feel the calm in brings to your body. Go outside and watch the cloud shapes.
