Kindness isn't just about being nice, it's a two-way street for happiness. Helping others
triggers feel-good chemicals in your brain, like dopamine and serotonin, boosting your
mood and reducing stress. Kindness also fosters connection, reducing feelings of isolation
and loneliness. It's a win-win for both you and those you help, creating a ripple effect of
positivity.
Grotberg's resilience model is like a 3-legged stool. "I Have" is external support (think safe

Positive visualization is a mental technique where you create a vivid picture in your mind of a
desired outcome. It's like mentally rehearsing a success story. Imagine yourself achieving
your goal, feeling the emotions of accomplishment, and experiencing the positive results. By

your motivation, confidence, and performance.
17.Cognitive restructuring
Cognitive restructuring helps you challenge negative thinking. Imagine finding distorted

your brain for a more positive outlook.
