It is easy to keep your spirits bright when life is going along smoothly and good news seems to turn up at every turn. It is an entirely different picture when life goes off course or bad news appears. The question then becomes: How do we keep our spirits bright throughout the different stages of life? 【1】.

Get Enough Sleep

It wasn't until I became a mother that I realized how important a good night's sleep truly is. 【2】. Sleep is such an amazing gift to recharge and start.

Back to Basics

When I feel tired with too much to do, I love to put on my shoes and get outside for a run. 【3】. Getting back to basics can include things like: getting outside, having real conversations with real people, enjoying a meal with a loved one or doing an activity that brings you joy.

Time Management

If life feels like it is out of control and you can't keep up, see what happens when you try to manage your time. There are many time management systems out there that can help. Have event reminders（提醒）on your phone and computer. 【4】. Start your day by writing a list of what you plan to achieve. And sometimes we also need to let go of things that aren’t important.

【5】.

Keeping our deepest desires and dreams alive is the very fuel that keeps our spirits bright. Give yourself the gift of having goals and dreams, and don't allow fear to have a say in how big your dreams may be.
