Keeping Your Positive Vibes

“We live in a world that is not within our control. It is internal wisdom to know that we can only control ourselves and our own attitude. Keeping our positive vibes is within our control.

Working through life challenges with positive energy is much more productive than to be angry about circumstance that have happened, and that we cannot undo. We can only SOLVE FORWARD the best we can

Being happy does not mean that we are never down. It means that we know how to lift ourselves up when we need to.

It is hard to sustain our good vibes when we are feeling stressed, anxious and pressured by work or other life circumstances. It takes a daily practice to remind us. Even 1 intentional minute of attention to a practice is amazing.

We all have the same 24 hours. MAKE TIME FOR YOU. We all can find at least 5 minutes to ourselves everyday — that is 5 times during the day that we can take 5 to 6 deep breaths for a minute. Use the alarm on the cell phone! It benefits you and everyone around you.

Be willing to explore for yourself, to figure what works for you. BE INTENTIONAL.

Meditate: Sit and breathe for 5 minutes to 20 minutes early in the morning.

Listen to what inspires you: Audio books, talks, mantas, or chants. Even 1 minute can serve as a reminder.

Be in Nature: Nature can be looking at the sky, at a tree, at a flower! It takes 1 minute to observe nature to feel the sense of awe around us.

WALK: and taking pictures of nature or observe the world. Looking at something new can shift our awareness. Just walking one block outside can make all the difference in the world in grounding us.

WRITE: down thoughts, or a gratefulness statement– very peaceful, it’s like talking to the paper! Journaling can sound like it’s too much. Writing down(copying) quotes or affirmations is a great exercise. In 5 minutes we can write a lot. From our hands, our mind gets infused with new thoughts.

Read: Inspirational book. Find one that speaks to you, and don’t read it — study it. Ask yourself — am I living and practicing what I am reading? It is tough but keep studying for yourself. Read inspirational quotes and reflect on them.

TAKE TIME OUT: to go have a cup of coffee by yourself in a coffee shop. Or to have lunch by yourself.

Color: it’s peaceful and meditative. Take a coloring break.

MOVE – Dance: Do one move you love. Squats, pushups, jumping jacks, burpees, mountain climbers or put on your favorite music and dance. It moves our energy around and keep us present."
