There is never a wrong time to practice a little "thank you." They say the Holidays are the MOST wonderful time of the year, but between the little things like Christmas, Hannukah, and Kwanza shopping, perfecting cooking recipes, and navigating holiday travel or the big things like missing loved ones, deployment overseas, or little money in the bank, this time of the year can be downright STRESSFUL. When you are operating from a place of stress, it ain't always easy to remember gratitude. But there are easy ways to take the pressure off and still find time to say, 'thanks.'

| E109: TEDx Talk - The Flipside of Loneliness | 30 Oct 2019 | 00:26:35 | |
Is there a solution to cure loneliness? Loneliness comes in many forms job loss, deployment, divorce, death, illness, or moving to a new city. For me, grief was the catalyst. When I was 16, I suffered a traumatic loss that forever changed my life. I found myself alone, lonely. Chronic loneliness is an epidemic. Half of Americans say they feel alone and in Britain, it's 1 in 3 people. If you have the courage to confess that you're lonely, most people reply with well-intentioned but unhelpful pieces of advice like, "Reach out and connect, make friends, here's a great quote." As if you hadn't seen the "Just Hang in There" cat poster before. In my TEDx talk, "The Flipside of Loneliness", I share my formula for navigating loneliness, including the 3 ways to embrace the 'lone' in lonely. >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPYnhBg44ME&t=3s ------------ **Join the YOU WANNA DO WHAT?!
