POSITIVE OUTLOOK

You may be focused on a misperception of lack and feeling gloomy today. Perhaps you are feeling down about your finances or struggling with negative thoughts. If you have been seeing the glass half-empty rather than half-full lately, you might benefit from choosing to see your situation from a different perspective. While struggles will happen occasionally, you can get through them easily if you adopt a positive mind-set. By understanding that you can choose how you want to feel in each moment, you can learn to change your mood by using the power of your thoughts and intentions. Even if nothing has changed about your situation, you can feel happier and more in control today.

When we choose our mind-set, rather than allow ourselves to be influenced by our circumstances, we empower ourselves. In the midst of difficulties, it is easy to allow our frustration to turn into pessimism. If we can remember that pessimism only makes a situation worse, we can choose to focus our thoughts on what’s positive about our circumstances. While this may not solve all of our problems, it can help us feel better while we deal with our situation. If we consistently focus our thoughts on what’s positive about our situation, we eventually begin to experience only the positive—and a negative situation becomes a positive one. Concentrate on what is positive about your life today, and you will create a more positive reality.

Great words of wisdom! Thank you for being so supportive :). I know you will pay it forward as you already do! Now, diluting things. I dilute all kinds of things! Club soda is really good with a splash of juice (orange or lemonade or anything really, grapefruit) a wine spritzer is something my grandmother drank. White wine, club soda, lime. Mmmm. I've become very intolerant of sugar. Super sweet things are very unappealing. Diluting juice makes a refreshing low calorie drink,and can save you money too!

Thank you. That was exactly what I needed to read right at this very moment. I just wrote a journal entry venting all of the negativity I was thinking. I needed to replace it with some positive :-)
