Take some time to evaluate your life on Evaluate Your Life Day - reflect and make positive changes for a happier, healthier future!
It's time to take a step back and Evaluate Your Life Day on Oct. 19! This special day was created by the American Online Support Group in 2006, to encourage people to reflect on their lives and make positive changes. It's a great reminder that life is too short not to make the most of it – so why not use this opportunity to review our goals, evaluate our progress and make plans for the future? With Evaluate Your Life Day just around the corner, now is the perfect time to get started!
