I recently had a discussion with some scholars about scholarly things. As the conversation progressed, we talked about not just surviving but thriving. How much would you invest to thrive in your life? If put into the measure of hours spent, how many hours would you devote to learning how to thrive? The National Board for Teachers recommends that one must complete about 200 to 400 hrs. of work on the process of earning the master teacher certification. The 200 hr. Yoga Teacher Training takes, well... 200 hrs. A Ph.D. in something takes as long as the time it takes. All of the previously mentioned are commitments I’ve made in my life to thrive. I didn’t think about the time it took to get to where I can thrive until last night but considering everything it has been worth it. What does thriving mean to you and how much time are you willing to invest in the process?

- Play one of your favorite upbeat songs that makes you smile whenever you hear it.
- Clear an area in the room so that it’s free from objects and furniture or go outside where you have room to move.
- Raise your arms in the air and just dance like no one is around, or maybe someone is there and get them to dance too.
- Don’t stop until the song is over and then notice how you feel.
- If you’re not smiling by then, keep dancing until you do.
