Day Fourteen - Exceptional, Superb & Powerful Life!

14.  Don't waste your precious energy on gissip, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control.  Instead, invest your energy in the positive present moment.

Oh boy.  This is a good one.  It is so easy to get caught up in the gossip.  Who is doing what?  Did you hear about so-and-so?  I think that it is human nature to want to know what others are doing.  I lived in California for awhile and found myself all cuaght up in what the celebreties were doing all the time.  I was addicted to that TMZ show.  The reality of it is, its none of my business!  Why can't we all just mind our own business?!?



Because other people's lives are so much more exciting than ours!  The truth is, scandal and shocking things aren't good for us.  If you find yourself drawn to the drama, that is just bringing some into your own life.  Finding and focusing on the good things is the best way to go.

 
  • What goes on in your mind can really determine your actions and decides whether you're positive or negative. If you always think negative thoughts, you're always going to turn out to be a negative person. It is better to think about positive thoughts.
  • Think of the cup as half full and filling up!
  • Making progress is success. If you are positively engaging events within yourself - in your thoughts - then there is no goal in which you can not make progress. Your engaged goals are powerful!
  • Think about what you want (that's a goal), not about what you don't want (that's worry). Goal driven activity requires positive thinking.
  • Be sure to cultivate positive thinking for purposeful reasons - to enhance the quality of your life and the lives of others.
  • Find some things positive to say to yourself and repeat them often. Use statements such as "I am a very positive person," "I am very capable," "I can do anything when I put my mind to work on it," and "I can do it."
  • Print these instructions and keep them for reference.
  • Don't give up. Good habits can replace bad ones by continuous perseverance.
  • Hang around negativity and you'll become negative. Hang around positive people and you will become and be like them!
  • Remember that you’re in control of your thoughts. If you’re thinking negative, you can change it anytime by thinking about something positive.
  • Getting your blood flowing by exercising increases your energy. When you have energy, you think positive.
  • Every morning look at yourself in the mirror and think about five good qualities you have.
  • Try meditating. This will make your mind sharp and fill you with positive ideas.
  • Smile at strangers. Although this may seem a little weird, it actually makes you feel more positive and happy. You may even brighten that other person's day.
  • Listen to music. It's a great way to remain positive.
  • Volunteering. Helping others leads to a happier outlook on life.
