NEW THINKING

               NEW THINKING

As the New Year approaches people are in a better, positive and optimistic mood. There's more positive energy flowing and you'll find more people in a better mood. So jump in and be part of all the positive, upbeat energy going around. Sure things may not be perfect, but instead of thinking all that's wrong, think about some of the good things and then take a moment to do a random act of kindness. It can be anything, like opening the door for someone, or helping someone with their grocery bags, or helping someone get in their car or get on the bus. Even smiling and offering a pleasant "Hello" can make another person feel better. When you do a random act of kindness you join the pool of positive energy, you spread a little joy, you help someone feel better and you attract more positive situations. Then you can go one step further, and get rid of the negative thoughts or doom and gloom attitude you may be carrying. For just a day, or even a few hours, avoid saying anything negative. If those around you are being negative change the topic of conversation or put a positive spin on things. If you find you're thinking of what's not going well, change your thoughts, think of what you want, look for something positive, or just think of something completely different. There's always something positive, you just have to find it. So today and everyday this week do a few random acts of kindness, and get rid of the negative thoughts that bring you down. Fill your mind with optimism and think about creating a bright new future. The new year will be brighter by doing very simple and very doable things. You can and you will, when you believe you can.
