TURN NEGATIVE THOUGHTS INTO POSITIVE ACTIONS

The stresses and painful situations that present in our lives can drag us down. By refusing to succumb to negativity by wallowing in self pity, a wonderful thing can happen. Solutions, positive ones can begin to emerge. No, the hardships do not disappear, but action that can support the situation with meaning and some needed control present itself. My world includes- dealing with painful muscles needing a trip to the doctor for an anti-inflammatory. Use an umbrella on a rainy day. Make a sandwich for lunch out of yesterday's leftover turkey. Let the old folks have some more time together even if in the hospital while awaiting the Nursing Home! Fix what needs fixing in the house to get it ready for the day it goes on the market! Not today- but within the next couple of years. One small thing at a time! What about you? Finish the projects that are on the go- have the good feeling you did it! Work on the relationships in your life! Call a friend and arrange a time together! Be good to yourself! Take time to eat nutritionally, exercise the body and the mind, get rid of toxic people and situations, and reach out to touch the universe! Get out of your comfort zone! Take a risk! The greatest fear is fear itself- someone once said. Negative thoughts keep us treading water instead of swimming to shore, drying ourselves off and beginning a new journey! Are you ready to begin anew? Are you searching for the positive thoughts in your life? Are you starting to find solutions to your problems?

  1. You've really covered the waterfront in this post, Barb. I don't know that there's anything worthwhile I could add. I did notice you didn't mention de-cluttering or procrastinating, two of my greatest challenges.
