And always find something that delights your soul. glad is an acronym that can change lives. Focusing our energy and memories on positive experiences can change our perspective. Our challenge to you: Start recording in your glad journal every day. Write down something from the day for which you are grateful, something that you learned, one thing that you appreciated, and something that delighted your soul.
