with positivity and hope, because let's face it, a little
bit of optimism goes a long way right now. I
know what you might be thinking, Riley. Easy for you
to say you're always so upbeat. Trust me, even I
have those days where the world feels like a giant
pile of laundry that just won't fold itself. But here's
(00:45):
the secret. It's not about pretending everything is perfect all
the time. It's about choosing to focus on the good,
finding the silver lining even in the cloudiest of situations.

with people who lift you up, inspire you, and make
you feel good about yourself. Seek out activities that bring

not a destination. Be patient with yourself, celebrate your progress,
