Honorable Mention!
My senior year of high school, I took part in an epic prank of a campus tour for prospective students at James Madison University.
What little things do you do regularly (daily/weekly) that make you feel better?
I have four things I do each day.
I remember them with the acronym JERM.
They help me reduce stress and stay connected with what matters.
1. Journal - I sit at my computer and write, just stream of consciousness, whatever comes into my mind, for at least fifteen minutes. Research shows that this habit significantly improves mental health.
2. Exercise - I usually walk for an hour or two a day. Or sometimes I swim or lift weights or hike. Occasionally I do the stanky leg.
3. Read - In addition to reading fiction for pleasure, I try to read something relaxing, something that encourages me to be less stressed and more grateful. (My current read).
4. Meditate - I practice mindfulness meditation to help myself stay calm and focused on the present moment. Meditation is simple (though not easy): Just sit still and focus on your breath. For inspiration, watch your pet.
Explain to me your feelings after finishing The Fault In Our Stars by John Green? I cried hysterically.

And then I read my name in the acknowledgements—one of the biggest honors of my life—and that made me feel a little better. :)
When in your life were you happiest?
To paraphrase the Dalai Lama when he was asked a similar question: I think now.
Who is your biggest inspiration?
