…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

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!

… 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!

… 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?

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.

Ever pay someone a compliment and s/he is quick to rebut it?  Really, the best response is “Thank you.”   Ever get a compliment and you are quick to rebut it?  Just say, “Thank you,” … and throw in a smile for the heck of it! 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!

[..."What if I wrote a personal affirmation ten times?  What difference would it make in my thought process and actions?"  So I tried it.  It was amazing!  By the third time I wrote it, the words began to take on new clarity. By the tenth time I had written it, I had added some thoughts and the affirmation was mine...] *   Try it!  Go for Positive!

*Per Robert H. Schuller, Crystal Cathedral Ministries, 2/13/10.

Are you going after what you want?  Are you working your dream?  Work on it.  Go after the prize.  Be relentless.  You can do it!  Go for Positive!

Are you living in the present?  Seems like the answer is so obvious… an automatic “YES,” right?   But are you, really?  Most of us want to enjoy what is going on now, but we find ourselves thinking about what’s next on the “to do” list instead.  So, we never fully enjoy this very present moment.  Let’s be conscious of this moment and practice being present minute to minute, hour to hour.  We can do it!  Go for Positive!

Ever walk into a place and there’s groups of individuals chatting? How’s the vibe? If the vibe is good, hang out; but, if it’s not, walk away and join another.  No need to subject yourself to anything less than what’s good for your soul.  Go for Positive!

Ditch what?  No we’re not talking about class.  We’re talkin’ about any bad habit.   It’s about improving ourselves, right?  If it’s working, keep it.  And, if it’s not, ditch it!  Go for Positive!

Get rid of the “but” excuses and light it!  Yes, light that fire in you that pushes you to do that particular “thing” that you are yearning to do.  You can accomplish anything!  Believe it!  Go for Positive!

So, it’s been said that how we say things can make a difference in what we get (or don’t get) in our lives. For instance, when we harp on the negative, or just pose sentiments using negative wording, that is what we get. For example, saying, “I don’t want to be in this shitty relationship” might sound right to you at first, but the universe “hears” shitty relationship and gives you more of the same. So, instead, saying, “I want a loving relationship” has a positive tone to it and the universe understands what you want, not what you don’t want, putting in motion a better likelihood of exposing you to a loving relationship.  Do you believe it?  Words really do matter.  Why not use more positive language? The universe just might reveal kinder, better things to ya! Go for Positive!

What are your goals?  Have you written them down? Get them down on paper! The act of putting them to paper (any paper will do, even a gum wrapper) makes it more likely that you’ll accomplish your stated goals!  Start now! Go for Positive! 

P.S. Sheri Baby wishes you a Happy, Healthy, Harmonious New Year! 2010– Woo Hoo!

It’s time to give yourself tons of credit for all that you do. Of course, certain things are expected of you, and you do them, and so much more. Show yourself some appreciation and celebrate YOU!  What’s your celebration plan? Go for Positive!

P.S. Sheri Baby wishes you a festive, fun, fantastic, fabulous Christmas and Holiday!  Let us all celebrate!:)

When things aren’t going as well as you’d like, ask yourself what you need to do to improve them. Then, go at it with pep in your step and a new & improved attitude. Go get ‘em, Tiger! Go for Positive!

OK, we all go through it. We want this or that, and of course, we want it right NOW, please! Get some patience already! Sure, easier said than done, right? Really, often there’s nothing we can do but let things unfold as they may.  Go for Positive!

..Don’t know why it often takes decades before most of us realize that we can stop being whom others want us to be, and start being whom we are meant to really be.  Only then do we finally have this super shine about us that transcends the ordinary… Go for Positive!

So ya want to feel happier? Happy is as happy does. Put a smile on your face, soften your shoulders, lighten your step and practice positivity. What great things might happen with this UP attitude?… Go for Positive!

And, Happy, Happy Thanksgiving!

It’s not always about the most thunderous gains in life. Remember to be grateful for the simplest gifts:  the ability to smile, laugh, feel the warmth of the sun’s rays… or perhaps the bite of a zesty lemon, or the sight of swaying branches from a brisk breeze.  Ahhh, so many simple things to be grateful for… Go for Positive!
