While September's "Hunt the Good Stuff' campaign highlighted a moment of thanks from a different Team Robins member each week, that message can continue all year long.

Positive thinking, cultivating gratitude and building optimism are key areas to focus on when it comes to our mental well-being. The goal is to continue to find the things we are thankful for on a regular basis.

Each day write, draw, talk about or find another creative way to focus on three good things. Those things can be events that happened, skills or strengths you have, goals you achieved, or good news about others in your life.

It shouldn't be a chore, so find the right fit for you as often as you can. "Hunt the Good Stuff" is just another tool for a healthy, positive life.

Next year's campaign will continue with a positive and resilient theme.

Resiliency matters; it not only improves performance, but is better for your health and assists with teamwork and leadership in the workplace.

As we go forward into the holiday season, this campaign can be the start of a positive way ahead.
