Enthusiasm
Eagle's Nest
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 these sites to learn more

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.
