Why are you perfect for this job?
I am a happy and joyful person that loves to research and learn and write and share. I have been blogging for about three years on my own personal blog. (willowtreecreek.wordpress.com) I always try to find the good in every person and in every situation. I can motivate and uplift people. I am a dedicated person and I will always give my best. I am dependable, kind, fun, silly and joyful.
How do you maintain your good mood naturally?
I think everyone struggles with maintaining a good mood. So many things happen in life that can get us down if we let them and I have several techniques that I use to maintain a good mood. My husband convinced me to start going to the gym about two years ago. Working out has really helped to keep my muscles loose and relaxed. I also have dogs, cats, chickens and horses that need caring for. At least twice a day I am outside in the elements caring for animals, doing farm chores and puttering in the garden. Smelling the grass and flowers, feeling the sunshine and rain, seeing the colors of the plants and hearing the birds and frogs are all wonderful mood lifters. Plus there is no greater joy than sitting down to a home cooked meal made with vegetables you have grown and animals you have raised and eggs your very own chickens have laid! My day job can be stressful at times. I teach art to kindergarten through twelfth graders in a rural public school. When days get stressful I look for the positive things that happen in the day rather than focusing on the negative. I give myself five minutes to get it out of my system on the drive home and then I let it go. To help maintain positive thoughts I have each of my students in my last class share one good thing that happened to them during the day. We do this just before we leave to go to the busses. This way EVERYONE is leaving the school on a positive note and it is very encouraging. I was really blessed to be born with an upbeat and happy personality. I strive to find the good in every situation. I surround myself with people who make me happy and make me feel good about myself. I pray and meditate, get pleanty of sleep and remind myself each day that I am blessed. Life is good!
