Aria’s Word Of The Year is....GRATEFUL WHY she chose her word - “I have spent a lot of time focusing on negatives; what I wish was different, how I wished I looked, and just so many poor thoughts that made me mad, stressed, sad and irritated. I started reading a book that focuses on positive psychology and it’s #1 tip is looking at your life and finding things that make you grateful. So, instead of focusing on the things I don’t have, I focus on the things I do have or that are coming.” • HOW she plans to implement her word - “Every morning I write three things I am grateful for. When I catch myself being or talking negative, I stop, breathe and find a positive in that conversation or situation. Every evening I reflect on my day and write about the good things that happened. There are too many great things in my life to not stop and think about and be grateful for.” • #pacemateARIACB #whatsyourword #pacemates #pacers #nbadancer #grateful
