More compliments, less anger

Good Funday Morning! Quiz Time: How long has it been since someone made you angry with their words? Yesterday, 2 days ago, a few minutes ago? Anger is a response to stimuli, a response we can learn to control. Try this next time someone says something mean or annoying. Genuinely compliment them. It will change…

Thank You Notes

Happy Funday! Are you thankful? Do you let others know your thankful? More specifically do you send thank you notes? As part of grant writing classes I facilitate, I point out how important a hand written note is to tell a funder thank you. It’s becoming a lost art. The cartoon might express how you…

Tomorrow’s a New Day

Good Funday Morning! Did you do something you really wanted or needed to this weekend? Did you make big plans but they fell through? Were you disappointed with yourself for not completing something? Guess what? You can let it go. Today and tomorrow are new opportunities to do great things, even if they are small…

Be Good to You

Happy Funday! I hope you were good to yourself over the weekend. I saw this meme and thought Wow! Having anxiety and bouts of depression myself, I know there are times I was not good to myself. Negative self-talk, isolating from family and friends, potential destructive decisions. What was I thinking?!?! I have to live…

Controlling Stress

Good Funday Morning! Are you starting your day stressed? Is your To Do list too long? Is your mind racing at all the tasks that need completing? First, breathe. Try my 5 to the third power rule: Breathe in through your nose slowly for 5 seconds, hold it for 5 seconds, then let it out…

Start with You

Happy Funday! I hope your weekend was what you set out for it to be. For me, that was celebrating my 34th honeymoon (33rd anniversary) with the love of my life. We take a trip each year to get away and refresh our marriage. So what does that have to do with this meme about…

Single Defeats

Happy Funday! I hope you were able to do some self-care over the weekend. If not, it’s okay, just try to do something for yourself soon. And don’t be too hard on yourself if you didn’t accomplish what you set out to. Tomorrow is another day to try again. Like the meme says, it was…

THINK

Good Funday Morning! I hope you had a pleasant weekend. I’ve been shying away from the political hot topics lately, mostly because it heightens my anxiety. I don’t watch news much either for the same reason. I do have a thought about some reactions to the issues. A friend posted this meme recently and I…

Do Your Best

Happy Funday! It has been a busy couple of months for Compacity with new services, new office, our 1 year anniversary and a ribbon cutting. It’s been great, but I personally am ready to get back to some real posts rather than commercialism. In that light, here’s a little something for everyone who’s been working…
