Enthusiasm can be reflected in joy, in determination, and in quests
for learning. It can be part of keeping our bodies, minds, and spirits in
balance. For many people, it has something to do with being grateful for
the gifts we have been given.
It can be part of finding out what activities you like to do or want
to try. People can be enthusiastic about many different things. Some are
enthusiastic about dance or sports. Some people are enthusiastic about nature. They may enjoy hiking or
camping. Others may enjoy fishing or walking along the beach. Visit

Some people are enthusiastic about helping others. They may enjoy
helping their family at home or their neighbors in the community. Some
may enjoy doing volunteer work to help people they do not know.
Some people are enthusiastic about being artistic or creative. They
may enjoy painting or weaving. Some may enjoy writing poetry or music.
Enthusiasm can go up and down. And sometimes we have experiences that
make us just very sad. Our energy and enthusiasm can get low. Remember,
you are not alone. Reach out for help if you need it, see
Good Ways.
