Hey everyone - I try to keep up with doing daily affirmations in my personal life, so I've decided to add some daily affirmations for you all to read, hopefully as a useful reminder to stay positive, especially some days when we may need one.

I refuse to concede to fear, but will maintain a prepared state. I will show gratitude whenever possible. Especially during these times of struggle and risk, a simple gesture of appreciation can really brighten a person's day. 

If you're ever feeling down about yourself, or life in general, try adding these into your daily routine. Reading these every day will help strengthen your mental fortitude. Follow me and check back each day to read the next one. Try reading them aloud to yourself. It truly will help!

I've decided to try to add another layer of mindfulness by hopefully bringing a smile to you with a daily joke after the daily affirmation. 

• Joke of the day

All countries will get the corona virus eventually

China just got it right off the bat

Peace and love to you all! Stay safe out there, things may be getting worse before they get better friends.
