This post is meant to be an open forum for ideas to keep you going... Let's get the ideas flowing!
- Start each morning with something(s) that you enjoy. Examples: Your favorite song, your favorite coffee, your favorite scent, you favorite scripture...
- Keep and optimistic quote on your bathroom mirror, in your pocket/wallet and other places you frequent.
- Smile at yourself in the mirror every day.
- Be conscious of your thoughts. If you find yourself thinking something negative, try to find the up side/positive side/lighter side of the situation.
- Join a charity or volunteer organization. Choose something that you are passionate about or reflects your values. Be sure to actively participate at least once a month on a regular schedule to give yourself something to look forward to without feeling overwhelmed.
- Take 10 minutes a day to sit alone and just focus on your breathing, read inspirational passages/stories/quotes or listen to soft, positive, calming music.
- Make a list of 10 things you appreciate/love in your life. Make a second list of 10 positive things about yourself. Read them before you go to bed to end your day on a positive note. (Count your blessings!)
- Avoid negative people and negative conversations - especially when you are having a bad day.
- Positive people attract positive things/people.
- Think about your past successes and focus on the success you would like to obtain in the future. Make a list of your past accomplishments as well as your goals (limit this to 10 or your may feel overwhelmed) and review it monthly making necessary adjustments/additions.
- It takes 30 days to form a habit...
- Be prepared. Think about the next day (or week) and what you need to do today to avoid conflict/complications. Make a list if there are things you need to remember and then let it go and get a good night's rest!
In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.
