Gratitude is The Antidepressant

You know that you can change the way you are feeling in just minutes! Even better not only is it fast, it's free!

All too often we give way too much attention to the things in life that aren't good.  Whether it's debt or a relationship problem with a friend, family or even a coworker.  Think about that?  Why? Why would we allow ourselves to waste our precious time on this planet to think about things or people that we don't feel good about. Those things and people will always be a part of our lives but we don't have to give them our time and energy.

You can change your life right now, right this minute by choosing to give less of your time and energy those negative situations and/or people by beginning to focus on the good and wonderful things you have in your life.  What are you truly grateful for?  Be honest with yourself! Feel the feeling of how blessed you really are.  Start thinking of all the wonderful people and things in your life.  No Eeyores allowed! It doesn't work if you moan out, I'm grateful for my family.  No!  You have to feel it and know in your heart how precious life is how wonderful the things you have are.  

There are opportunities to be grateful at every turn.

Make a list start with loved ones, mentors, then move onto things.  They don't have to be things that are big. Yes, I'm thankful for my home and I feel so blessed but there are those little things in life to be grateful for also. Things that we overlook when we are too consumed with the negative.  I start my day with being oh so grateful for the hot shower I'm taking.  Thank God for the people that came before me that invented and built the means by which I enjoy that warm soothing moment every morning! Ahhh!

Start now making the list and you will be amazed how quickly you will feel uplifted!  This comes with lasting benefits as well because the more you are thankful, the more you will have to be thankful for.

Wise Words

When I was growing up my mom had a sign on the bathroom mirror that read, "There are no excuses.  There are only choices!"  Through my life I've love that expression and I've hated it but its always made me think of the decisions I make especially when I'm tempted to make an excuse instead of take action.   I've learned that taking action feels so much better! :)

Turning Your Life Around - General Positive Affirmation

There are times when we all find ourselves in a negative state of mind.  This can be in any area of your life, a relationship, work or business, or a money problems.  Sadly when we have a problem we tend to focus on it rather than all the good things around us. 

If you find yourself polluting all the good things in life with the problem, that problem can create more difficulties in other areas of your life.  As an example, if you are having financial problems the way you handle it can have a negative affect on your marriage.  There are times when saying a specific positive affirmation feels more like a lie and hardly believable and if anything that affirmation might just compound the problem with making you more angry.

We are all human and it happens.  For myself when I have these sorts of days or times I like to use the below affirmation. It's a combination of many affirmations that I've found over the years and joined together. 

Use it whenever your thoughts are creeping in the wrong direction, repeating it as often as needed or over and over as you fall asleep at night.

I forgive the world, the world forgives me and I forgive myself.  I release any resistance and I accept the good God has for me now.

New Book The Power by Rhonda Byrne The Author of The Secret

The Power just came out yesterday and has great reviews already.  The Power is about how your emotions fuel the law of attraction.  Many people are wondering why the need for another book after The Secret since that was suppose to get you everything you want.  My answer to that is for myself at least.  I know The Secret works but I also know that when mind and mood aren't in harmony it they negate each other.

The Power seems like a 2.0 version in the way of ok you have The Secret and you know it, now you need to apply it and get your pure love emotions behind it.

Book Quotes - The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity by Catherine Ponder

From The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity:

"The amazing thing is that of millions of people who think they want to be successful, few of them have any really strong, impelling desires.  They have been content to idly drift in a stream of small events and small expectations.  When you meet a person who is really going places in this world, usually it is a person of intense desire for the highest and best in life. One of the basic statements I have often asked people to use to help expand and intensify their constructive desires is:  I desire the highest and best in life, and I now draw the highest and best to me."
