    • Embrace the controllables with a 10% boost during holidaysFocus on what we can control in holiday celebrations and enhance it for enjoyable experiences, instead of dwelling on the uncontrollables.

      , despite the unexpected changes and challenges in our plans for celebrations like Halloween and Christmas, we can focus on making the most of the situation by identifying and focusing on the controllable aspects. Kate Cocker, from the Volley network, shares her personal experience of making the best of a health kick by allowing herself and her family to enjoy one favorite piece of chocolate each day. She suggests applying this mindset to our holiday celebrations, no matter how they may look this year. By focusing on what we can control and enhancing it with small but meaningful improvements, we can turn potentially disappointing circumstances into enjoyable experiences. So, instead of dwelling on what we can't control, let's embrace the controllables with a 10% boost. Join the Everyday Positivity Facebook group for more inspiration and positivity.

    277 Whose Fourth of July?

    On July 5, 1852, Frederick Douglass delivered a speech to an anti-slavery society and he famously asked “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?”

    In this episode, we explore Douglass’ thoughtful question within the context of Early America: What did the Fourth of July mean for African Americans in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries?

    To help us investigate this question, we are joined by Martha S. Jones, the Society of Black Alumni Presidential Professor and Professor of History at Johns Hopkins University, and Christopher Bonner, an Assistant Professor of History at the University of Maryland.
