Get Positive - Stay Positive

Tuesday September 14th 2010

It’s raining outside, it dull and grey, the hours of daylight have shortened and for some, this time of year is just a bit of a downer for so many.

Perhaps it reminds people of going back to school or for parents, maybe it’s that time of year when the kids go back to their own little world and you miss them.

For some, the reduced hours of daylight may cause sadness to creep in.

With longer nights some of you will fill your evenings with TV soaps and relax on the couch.

This time of year is often the catalyst for thinking, now you have time for your thoughts, its quiet outside as everyone is in having hot cups of tea.

For those of you with unresolved problems, maybe a broken family, perhaps a broken heart, maybe just old fashioned loneliness, these long evenings allow thoughts into your mind that the summer sun suppressed.

Like a voice you may not want to hear, thoughts enter your mind. Little reminders of past trials, guilt, a criticising parent, perhaps you have perpetuated the cycle and now you are the one who criticises, perhaps criticising yourself or a loved one. Maybe traumatic memories release now or maybe they seep in your dreams. The darkness of winter is almost fully here.

You know everyone feels down from time to time but this time you take action. You are a worthy person, you a good person, and its time for you now.

The dialogue of the mind can shape your feelings but you can take control of this right away and the more you practice the more control you command.

Find a quiet place to sit and close your eyes, perhaps a few drop of essential oil or incense might create the right atmosphere.

With your eyes closed, say inwardly to yourself (In time with your breathing)

I am here, this is now (These words ground you in the present)

I am a worthwhile person (confirmation of your value)

I can, I will, I am (these action words imply doing something) (constructive action)

I love myself (Building self esteem)

I am relaxed (relaxes breathing and the body)

These are simple example of what to say. Some people say them out loud, others recite inwardly. Make your own positive affirmations. Practice them everyday (30 minutes) and you’ll be amazed at how you emotions shift in to the positive zone.

Also surround yourself with positive things like a painting of a beautiful beach or a flower garden has great positive effects on the mind.

Using quotes on a daily basis is a great way to get you to think positively and overcome your fears.

“The human spirit is stronger than anything that can happen to it”
