In a rut or just wanna give something new a shot? I’m with you 100%. Get on it. Do something new! Go for Positive!

And, today, this Memorial Day, is the perfect day to remember our wonderful military who have given their lives in our nation’s service. I am forever grateful.

P.S. Since I usually (sometimes more often than that) take my own advice, I am doing something new this week. I signed up for singing lessons!  I cannot carry a tune so my teacher will be waaay challenged. Ha ha ha! I’m gonna have a blast, no matter! I had it in my mind for months that I’d love lessons. And, the universe answered via email where there was a coupon offer for 4 x 30 minute singing lessons for $55 bucks. I jumped at it! Really, I’m looking to learn to do all those cool breathing techniques they (the Beyonces in this world) do while singing and running around the stage… Maybe, rockstar lessons next???? Ha! Hmmm, what cool new thing would you like to do?

Could the answers you are looking for and the clarity you seek be in stillness? Let’s say they are, in fact, in stillness. Would you find a way to cool your engines… slow it down from fast to idle to being still? Be still and receive. Go for Positive!

“..when we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better, too.” This is a quote from the wonderful book, The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho. Every word and lesson in this fabulous read was so meaningful and pure. Total WOW read chock full of one ‘Aha’ moment after another. So, of course, I had to share this with you.

Thank goodness it was recommended recently while having one of those deep conversations with a friend. I could see this flash come across her face as she said that I really must read this book. And she meant, now! So, we jumped in the car, drove to the nearest bookstore, and voila! Instant gratification! Anyway, long story short, get yourself a copy or dust off the copy you already own. It’s totally worth it! Go for Positive!

How about having an attitude of gratitude? Being grateful and acknowledging what you are grateful for can make a hugely wonderful difference in your life. Go for Positive!

P. S. Here’s one of my “insider” secrets (that I learned from a mentor) to feeling great. Daily (well, almost daily) I state to myself (silently or aloud) what I am grateful for. It’s a morning ritual that I do before my feet hit the floor and it makes a heck of a positive difference in my day. It might go something like this, “I am grateful for my excellent health. I am grateful for my loving, supportive relationships with my family and friends. I am grateful for the progress I’m making with work. I am grateful for my beautiful home. I am grateful that I pay more attention to how I feel…” Stop when you’d like. Whatever length works for you is perfectly right. I find that it’s sets a powerfully positive tone for my day.

Awareness activates your POWER! On the other hand, pretending something important doesn’t exist when you know it actually does exist (eats at you) and siphones your power. It’s a choice. Turn on the lights to your awareness & activate your power, Baby! You can handle whatever is before you that needs handling. You are POWERful! Go for Positive!
