	I feel most alive when I'm surrounded by family and friends, and when I am working.   
- 
	
	Be kind to yourself and to others. Treat others the way you would want to be treated. I was told that every day of my childhood.   
- 
	
	Going for a walk is always helpful for me. I also love gratitude exercises.   
- 
	
	No matter what, I find that surrendering is essential.   
- 
	
	I cannot stress the importance of pausing to take a few deep breaths throughout the day. It's simple and effective.   
- 
	
	I have a skill set that often helps me get through hurtful moments or experiences. However, sometimes when the pain cuts really deep, my normal go-to exercises just won't work.

	Everybody remembers what it's like to be in high school. We really never leave those years behind.   
- 
	
	Meditation has really helped with keeping my center.   
- 
	
	I'm inspired by it all - the good and the not so good - because every experience is an opportunity for me to learn, grow, and become the best version of myself.   
- 
	
	I actually have a lot of guilty pleasures.   
- 
	
	Finally, be kind to yourself and have a good support system.
