Positive Start

October.. few weeks more and 2014 is nearing to end! Wow, I wonder how you spend a morning each day trying to focus on the good things. Next few months will be another list of our new year's resolution... new bucket list.. everything new to start the year. Life could be so difficult, challenging at times, and yes I need not say that. But there are reasons to say that life has meaning in every situation we are in.

There may be few reasons why it is important to choose "positive", and (if I may say) can help you start your day closer to beautiful.

1. Have a clear mind.
We tend to forget and ignore important things to remember once we're caught with negative thoughts. Sometimes our daily grind of routine makes it impossible not to lose sight of what we really need to have in starting our day right.

2. Believe in peace.
Keep interested in making peace with war.Make peace with yourself... with the past and with whatever noise there is. Forgive yourself. Treat yourself. Many hatred and fears have resulted to fatigue, making it difficult to cheer up and strengthen our spirits.

3. Eat healthy.
In the advent of the many mouthwatering & interesting recipes waiting to be tried, we can't help but take our share of these. I should be guilty! We still have the liberty to take a little closer to our diet and choices. There are a lot of options to consider in keeping our body sound and fit by planning our meals ahead. Science says what we eat affects our body system. It is also believed that a healthy body gives boost to our self esteem... and that feels oh-so-good, isn't it? Move, stretch and breathe equals active aging. Have a young spirit in you while having a physical exercise regimen.

4. Value time.
Take time in revisiting the best memories you've had in the past years. Forget past mistakes and shred old paychecks, bank statements. You do not need to hoard the unnecessary clutters in your life. Time is spent well with people and things we love.
Take photos of what is happy. Get along with your peers or your pet. Sing your favorite song or watch a feel-good movie. Stay in love. Most of all, make time to pray and nurture your soul. For the most part of it, God has given us our family and friends.

5. Consider therapy.
...whether it is physical, emotional, spiritual or financial. A therapy is always good for the heart. We do not need a huge change to tell ourselves that we are starting on a positive clean slate. It is something psychological in a way, a state of mind that says 'happiness' is the key to positive outlook.
Resilience sometimes magnets everyone. This is because there seems to be hope in any hard spot. Ladies might consider a retail or beauty therapy - why not!? There can be so many surprises for us. For men, it's car or sports therapy. That should be cool - or get a travel therapy to get an adventure. An escapade - yes! And for the kids.... oh well, it could be a play, eat and sleep therapy altogether at the mall.. at the park.. at home!

Home is a state of mind.

Find 'home' in you and celebrate it with grace.
