Thoughts beget things

by

Set yourself up for success with the right mindset.

Have you ever utilized affirmations to boost positive thoughts and goal achievement? Affirmations can be an enormously powerful tool for change and life in general.

Affirmations are not wishful thinking. They are not and should not be unrealistic thinking. What they should be is an optimistic look at the change or future that is believable and achievable.

Check in: Three Good Things

by

Two weeks ago, I put out a challenge to add the practice of three good things to your day.

I also did this practice for those 10 days. A few observations from my daily practice include:

  • Being positive impacts those around you
  • I feel less stress
  • It changed my initial reaction/emotion to situations
  • I smile more
  • I see more positives in my life (vs negative)

My hope is that you experienced some similar things. And my goal is to work on including this practice regularly in my life.

How about you?

Shine Like a Lighthouse

by

“We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won’t need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don’t fire cannons to call attention to the shining—they just shine.” – Dwight L. Moody

Suggestions for being a lighthouse for others:

  • Thinking of someone? Call, text or email.
  • Smile
  • Donate money to a favorite charity
  • Donate time to a local charity (using CDC guidelines)
  • Show appreciation for someone (again, call, text, email)
  • Send a care package
  • Run an errand for someone (again, using the appropriate guidelines)

There are many other ways to be a lighthouse. These are just a few ideas. What are your ideas? What have you done to shine a light in this storm?
