HACKS

Talk kindly to yourself

(page 23)

Practicing positive self-talk may improve self esteem, lower stress, and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. All it takes is “speaking” to yourself as compassionately as you speak to others.

Become an organ donor

(page 16)

By donating your organs and tissue after you die, you could save or improve as many as 75 lives. That’s a great reason to feel good about yourself while you’re living!

Eat more plants
