I think Canfield’s tips that resonated with me were the 4th and 6th. I think becoming aware of your thoughts and positive thinking is something we help our students with but avoid doing ourselves. I often tell my own children to have an attitude of gratitude and that is something easy to practice anywhere. I also like his tip to “make a conscious effort to enjoy where you are”. It seems similar to the 1st tip but I like the idea of staying in the moment and looking for the beauty in the moment. He talks a lot about waiting and it is too easy today to look at our phones instead of being in the moment.
