What are you thinking about in that brief space between a stimulus and your response? What are you paying attention to? The answer to these two questions will determine which emotions you feel: peace or anger, happiness or sadness, hope or distress, etc.
My second suggestion for a bad day - try Loving Yourself. Harder than it sounds, unfortunately, but a true gift and more effective than you might think...and more deserved.
Eckhart Tolle in The Power of Now, states, "Narrow your life down to this moment."
In my mind, that is the BEST solution for a crummy day. Focus on the moment that is right in front of you and nothing else. Only then can you see your way clearly.
A blog about taking advantage of what is offered to you here. Another part of my survival kit - taking one moment at a time, so the Now doesn't become inundated with the past AND the present - it's much harder to survive them when we do that!
The second blog about my "survival kit" for extreme moments. They will not ravage you so thoroughly if you ask yourself..."What might be the reason this happened?" Try it out and let me know what you think...
Do you want to feel peace? Then try being open to each of Life's moments - consider them innocent until proven awful, and see what your moments can bring.
Do you have change in your pocket? Then you know what it's like to go into a store, with the confidence that you'll come out with something good. That's exactly what it feels like when you know you have a purpose. It's like change in your pocket - a guarantee that you have the power to choose something good. Go choose.
The first video for our theme of the week. Take heart if your path doesn't seem perfect, or if you seem to stumble. It's in the stumbling that we find meaning and purpose.
