## Caption

⚡ 1. Boost Your Mood: Use happy triggers to boost your mood when you get upset. I have a Pinterest Board called "Happy Thoughts" and another called "Things That Make Me Laugh." The "Atta Girl" folder in my desk holds nice notes.

💻  2. Disconnect from Technology: Instead of freeing us up, our smartphones have tethered us to a hamster wheel. I deleted my school email off my smartphone because of an angry email. Unplug at least once a week. Be a human being, not a human doing.

😌 3. Let Things Go: Understand that you're working with others who are almost (if not more) burned out than you. Therefore, count on everyone being fussy, cranky, and tired. Let it go.

⏰  4. Determine What to Do Next Time: Make the mistakes of your past a signpost, not a hitching post. Remember them, but keep your eyes facing front toward your current surroundings.

Sometimes our biggest enemy is the perfect person we try to be.
