So something is going on that can be viewed in many ways. How about you choose to filter the information so that you find a positive lesson from it that will help improve your life? Go for Positive!

When something isn’t quite right, go ahead and make some navigation changes. Keep tweaking your course ’til you’re on the right new path! Go for Positive!

…So what’s in there?  The answers you seek, of course. You are ready-made with the perfect answers within. Go for Positive!

P.S. Just finished reading Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert.  And, YES l ran out to check out the movie too.  Both are worth devouring, though the book makes me salivate way more during the eating frenzy in Italy…Mama Mia!  Hmm, maybe the answers aren’t really within afterall; maybe they’re actually in the pasta sauce ;) S

Your words carry weight.  Find the right ones to communicate your message for you are not only impacting the listener but also the universe.  Go for Positive!

Have you found a way to get that certain thing that you want yet?  So you’re challenged. There IS a way.  According to Jim Rohn, ”When you know what you want, and you want it badly enough, you can always find ways to get it.“  Woo hoo! Go for Positive!

It’s the best feeling when you have some flexibility in your life… to let in some fun.  Say YES to a diversion in your week to purposely have FUN!  Woo hoo!  What fun diversions come to mind for you that you will give yourself permission to enjoy?  Go for Positive!

Instead of running on auto-pilot all the time, carve out some true “think” time this week.  It’s not only valuable, it’s essential to your growth.  Go for Positive!

… if you aren’t already; and if so, could you ever be too inspired?  Oh, the extra energy and excitement you’ll gain when you go off and get fueled with inspiration.  Perhaps you usually find inspiration when visiting a special outdoor place, or when having a conversation with a positive thinker, or maybe while mentally checking-out to check-in.  Whatever works for you, engage in something inspirational.  Oh, the wonderful things that are certain to come out of it!  Go for Positive!

… it relates to your goal.  If you’re like most of us, you fiddle part of the day away by doing things that may not be all that necessary.  Then, by the end of the day, you feel like you’ve NOT been productive.  How about if you begin with a new approach by dedicating this week to focusing on making quick decisions to do this or that based on whether or not it’s related to accomplishing your goal?  Is it making you proud because it brings you closer to your goal or is it just keeping you busy?  Is it putting you closer to the finish line or is it keeping you in the same exact place as yesterday?  Remember, do it if it relates to your goal!  Go for Positive!

Develop inner strength by being conscious of doing things that build you UP!  Go for Positive!

The sooner you address what’s bothering you, the freer you become.  Fill your kingdom with freedom.  Go for Positive!

Want to do something special for yourself, only that nagging guilty feeling creeps in and prevents you from proceeding?  Or, you actually go ahead and do that special something for yourself; however you feel guilty during the entire time?  Knock it off with the guilt already!  Instead, give yourself permission to “do” your special thing!  Giving permission will help keep the guilt away.  Try it.  Go for Positive!

OK, you realize that you have some shortcomings.  Are those shortcomings preventing you from being the best YOU that you want to be?  What’re you gonna do to overcome them?  Identifying them is a great first step.  But more must be done, right?  What kinds of things can help you get to the other side and conquer them?  Go for Positive!

… to celebrate your achievements along the way, not just at the final, final, way final stage/outcome, whenever/whatever that means to you.  

When I completed my book, Affirmations with Attitude! Sassy Power Starters to Ignite Your Day, I was relieved and excited but all I could think about were the things I needed to do to get them babies out to the public and sold.  I didn’t think to take a breath & celebrate this milestone I had worked hard to achieve: completion of my book!!!  It wasn’t until a friend asked how I was going to celebrate that achievement, that I thought, ‘Oh yeah, I guess this is a good reason to celebrate.’  The celebration doesn’t have to be extravagant unless you want it to be.  For me, it’s really a PAUSE and a breath and a head nod while in deep thought of what I am feeling at having accomplished that thing + a special dinner or treat.  It’s really LIVING in the PRESENT and not taking myself and my accomplishments for granted. Yeah, Baby!  Go for Positive!   Do you celebrate your milestones?  How?

… about being an American?  It’s the perfect day to reflect on our many, many blessings.  Thank you to our military who have served us in the past and those who currently serve us.  Go for Positive! 

…When you fall off the wagon, that is.  Hey, you’re human; you make mistakes and screw up sometimes.  So what!  The next step is to just get back on track again.   Don’t complicate things.  You can do it!  Go for Positive!  (Below you can check out my 2min 7 sec youtube video of me “getting back on the wagon”) … Yikes!

… aren’t enough.  Follow-through is necessary.  Go for Positive!

Are you hesitant to make the effort to get something important done?  It’s EASY to come up with a million excuses; all of which keep you stuck in the same place.  C’mon, you CAN do it?  Push through and get it done already!!!  Go for Positive!

Is it difficult to say YES to people who offer help in some way?  Are you one who’d rather do it yourself because that way you know it’ll be done “right?”  Hmm, aren’t you shortchanging yourself by not allowing others to help?  Consider receiving.  The world flows better with the give-and-take of giving and receiving. Try it.  Go for Positive!

Language is POWERful.  Make it a daily habit to be the first to greet yourself with kind, affirming words & messages… about YOU, really.  Look into your own eyes in the mirror as you say them.  And, if it makes you laugh as you do that, even better!  Go for Positive!

…And BTW, in Sheri’s Affirmations with Attitude!  Sassy Power Starters to Ignite Your Day, you’ll not only find 200+ affirmations, but there’s also “Mirror Chat” statements to help you start your day stating positive statements about YOU to YOU,  and so much more.

Instincts.  Wow!  Don’t you feel that it’s pretty amazing how they work for you 24/7 ? They can really steer you in the right direction, lead you to better circumstances, better places.  All you have to do is pay attention.  What are they saying to you right now?  Listen to your instincts.  Go for Positive!

Don’t ya think you can sometimes accomplish more when you have a calm mindset?  Often, we race around way too much getting nowhere fast.  Give calm a try.  You can still be productive…maybe more so.  Go for Positive!

Are you doing too much?  Could you get more done if you’d tackle one thing at a time?  Oftentimes, the list is long, you might be doing a little of this and a bit of that; but nothing gets completely done to warrant a slash or check mark. But, if you tackle one thing at a time, you will feel a sense of accomplishment that will encourage you to do the next thing on the list.  Tackle one thing at a time, Baby!  You can do it.  Go for Positive!
