How to Make PIE

Smile 😃 It releases feel-good hormones and smiling is contagious.
Include friendly greetings and salutations on written communication. E.g., "Looking forward to problem solving with you."
Tell jokes, like. "How do you make a tissue dance? Put a little boogie in it!" Humor can be an antidote for negative spiraling. A joke can add levity and insert a pause to support pivoting toward the positive.
End conversations with a positive recap. E.g., "I am glad we got to spend time catching up today."
Text friends to let them know you are thinking about them. "Wishing you well - have a fabulous Tuesday!"
Carry a keepsake or reminder to be positive. Examples: Marianne carries fortunes cookie messages and Bart begins collaborations with setting an intention - out loud.
Share a meal or a snack with others: Food speaks to the soul.
Stay connected and aware of how others positively live by reading books, surfing the web for inspiration, and talking directly to those you see every day.
