I love all of the different formats/ways to use the information! It makes it so easy for us to include naturally in whichever way is most accessible to our own lives. I can't wait to share a weekly life hack with my new teammates/colleagues!

I didn't know things applied to so many aspects of my life.

Love this concept! Everything in one folder by topic is going to make this easy to use especially with staff at work.

Wanted to also let you know that we are going to try to get groups together in each building to go through the Life Hacks. We have had several interested. A couple of folks on our team have offered to lead these sessions. I can't wait to see how this is received!

I am getting them and love having a weekly positive tip to focus on.

I enjoyed learning about myself and how I can help improve myself and also help my family with different exercises.

I am especially intrigued by the prospect of moving from the "me" more to the "we" and, ultimately, to the "us" level of Wellbeing here in our Midland community.

I highly recommend that you take advantage of the Partner Program so that your organization can benefit from this initiative like we have.

Positive Psychology has profoundly influenced every level of our organization. We have been learning together about various aspects of wellbeing for a couple of years and the changes are beginning to be noticed.
