## Resource

Today we talked about Instagram’s new disappearing photo feature called “Instants” and why social media is becoming more private and less polished. Plus, a new study says optimism, gratitude, and kindness may actually improve heart health. We also shared the incredible story of a co-founder of e.l.f. Beauty leaving behind billion-dollar business success to serve in his faith after a life-changing spiritual experience. Plus your chance to win a $50 restaurant gift card with our “Whistle While You Win” giveaway — and Sara asks: are you a jackhammer or a hummingbird? A jackhammer is someone laser-focused on one passion, while a hummingbird explores lots of different interests and experiences throughout life. Sign up for the Morning Boosts newsletter HERE!
