POSITIVE OUTLOOK-

Yesterday I caught up with my mountain of laundry and everything is put away and ready to wear which is an amazing feat may I say...Tah Dah!!!

Plans are to take a trip to Oroville to the Gold Country Casino to play BINGO today...My mindset says after spending my first full day of vacation doing housework I'm winning "The Pick A Pet" or the "Wheel Game" or better yet the "BIG BONANZA"!!!:) We are all winners even when we're loosers because we are taking care of ourselves!!!!TOWANDA

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.

Lisa - thanks again for the positive thoughts. I was surrounded yesterday by crashing technology (both at home and in the office). Think I'd like to spend 24 hours without electricity.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Have a great day Lovely Lisa.

Lisa, thank you for the positive reminder about having a positive mind set! It's much easier said than done, but well worth the effort! (And not just to annoy people either, Coach!) BINGO!
