Banish negative thoughts
We all have an inner critic that tells us when we’ve done something wrong and won’t let us forget it. What’s worse is sometimes it’s difficult to quiet that critic and get on with our day. Today, use this simple technique for quieting your negative thoughts. Choose a poem or prayer from one of your favorite books and spend a little time memorizing it. The next time you hear your inner critic, banish the negativity by repeating your favorite poem instead.

Do something creative! Paint your bedroom, a piece of old furniture. Even a jig saw puzzle will soothe your mind. One dreary window when life brought unhappiness, I took collected beads, a lot of broken necklaces from garage sales, a lot of beads bought with a gift certificate my sister sent at xmas, some fishing line and I made strand after strand of beads for my west windows. The sparkling colors bring the eyes joy. Note:all glass beads makes them too heavy, add plastic too.

Of all places, a new favorite quote came from the Disney movie “Princess Protection Program,” with the following dialog:
“She is trying to make a fool of you!” The princess’ response was, “She cannot make something of me that I am not.”
Love that!

What a great idea. I am really trying to focus on being a more positive person, because I am by nature a negative person. I think this idea will really help me. My husband is a very positive person and looks for the good in everything. I want to change because I have seen my daughter taking on my negative attitude and I don’t like it. Thanks for the idea!!

I wasn’t always positive but after seeing that sometimes you just have to laugh at the bad and I began to be more positive about things, I noticed every aspect of my life became more positive!Whether it is Karma, Following the Golden Rule, or how ever you would like to put it we could all use more of those positive vibes!!
