There is no doubt that we often fall into a negative mind-set. Maybe you had a bad day at work or you got every red light heading to the grocery store. It happens. It's okay. But remember not to stay down the the well of negativity. There are many ways you can lift yourself back up!

1. Turn To Someone - If you have a loved one that has a similar way of thinking as you do (when you are being positive), then turn to them in your difficult moment. They can help cheer you up and remind you how wonderful it is to be happy and positive. They can also remind you to look on the brighter side of life. There are much worse things than being late to work or dropping your lunch on the ground.

2. Watch a Comedy - It's good for you to smile, it helps the positivity swarm around you, BUT, it's even better if you laugh! Turn towards your favorite comedy movie. Invite a friend over to watch it with you and just laugh away. After it's over, you will feel much better. I promise! 

3. Pick up a Hobby - Unless you already have one you love. Doing something you love and that really brings you joy will help lift your mood back up. Sometimes I pick up a book to read or do arts and crafts. Most of the time, your hobby can be a stress reliever without you even realizing. If your hobby allows you to focus in on what you are doing and forget about the world outside, then that might be exactly what you need! 

4. Sleep - Sometimes when we are feeling down, all we need is a good power nap. After, you might feel so much better and forget about whatever happened that brought you down in the first place.

5. Meditate - Allow yourself to slow down for a moment. Put on some soft music, lay down and close your eyes, and let the music take you away into the area where your true happiness resides, your soul! Meditating has been used for a very long time to re-focus ourselves and has been known to heal. If you never meditated before don't feel like you won't be any good at it. It is very simple. Stay open minded and you can do it!

Let's Talk Thoughts.....

When I first started this journey, I read that your suppose to constantly monitor your

thoughts, you were suppose to be careful what you think. Well, all this did was cause me
fear about what I was thinking. It was also causing me much stress watching and examining every one of my thoughts. And I found myself giving up many times because of this. It seemed too hard if not impossible.
What I've come to learn is, if your afraid or stressed, you're doing it wrong. And this goes pretty much for anything. But let's stick with thoughts. What you actually need to do is just be aware of your thoughts. Let them pass through. Thoughts will come and they will go. The secret is letting them go. Take a back seat and watch them go by. What you focus on you get more of. Don't take them so seriously. And whatever you do, don't be afraid of them. Love them and make them your friends. This has worked wonders for me. Just be aware of ones that keep recurring. That is a sign of a belief. So if you don't like that thought or that belief, it's time to change it. Because beliefs are what create your life. If you want to know what your real thoughts are, what your real beliefs are, listen to what you say. Listen to the words that are coming out of you mouth. I surprised myself many times with what I said, even in a joking manner. The good news is thoughts and beliefs and words can be changed. Have fun with it. Relax with it. Also, don't beat yourself up for what you think or say, we are all just learning here. With practice it will all come easy. Believe in yourself!
