These are in no way easy times, but beating yourself up can (and will) only make things worse. Here to help us out of the ditch is author, blogger, and designer Dani DiPirro. Her Instagram page has become a meeting place for those of us in need of some kind reminders. “Being productive isn’t life’s purpose,” reads one recent post, while another suggests that “often, if someone is giving you a hard time, it’s because they’re having a hard time.”
According to DiPirro, her goal in life is to help you focus on the positive in every situation. Aside from her Instagram page, she also runs the website PositivelyPresent.com dedicated to the cause. Launched in 2009, we couldn’t have stumbled upon her brand at a better time. She’s even dedicated an article to staying positive in times of pandemic.
“Be positive. Be present. This is your life,” states DiPirro on her website. “Though many of us try to, it’s impossible to live happily in the past or in the future,” writes DiPirro on her website. “And if the now is all we have, why not make this moment a positive experience?”
You might as well give it a chance.
