(even our challenges because it could always be worse)
Gratitude helps encourage positive emotions; enhance good experiences; improve health; deal with adversity and build healthier relationships. Making a negative situation unrealistically positive is unnecessary. Just find a positive aspect to help make it more acceptable.
Practice Conscious Thinking
Thoughts only become powerful when they have emotion behind them. If it is a negative thought, take away that power of emotion. Better yet, think it all the way through and understand the reason for the feeling. By understanding it, you can bring consciousness to it and change it.
Put My Pants On Standing Up
Or do yoga, or play hopscotch… Anything that creates balance. We don’t lose our balance because we age. We lose it because we quit using it. Find simple ways daily to build those balance muscles.
Listen
Listening without offering advice or an argument is called Active Listening. This indicates respect for the thoughts and feelings of the other person. To do so, stay present without jumping ahead to solutions or conclusions. Watch magic happen.
Eliminate Digital Overload
Allow the psyche to disconnect from constant interruption. Give yourself the gift of an hour in the morning of uninterrupted time before picking up your phone. Add an hour at night before bed for even more benefit. This break from digital overload gives your mind time to recharge resulting in clarity and focus throughout your day.
Use the power of the sun
UV light is highly effective at killing germs. Because of the rays’ high energy, they can kill bacteria and viruses outside of the body. Utilize sunlight; UV therapy and/or Vitamin D-3 to fend off germs.
Go outside! It will boost your body, your mind and your soul.
