Enjoy down days

A down day or a down moment is not a bad thing. Give yourself permission to enjoy it.
If we didn’t have moments when we felt less than good how could we appreciate feeling good?

Whenever you are feeling less than upbeat here is my suggestion …
Notice the feeling. Even allow the feeling.
Appreciate the feeling for what it is. It means we are alive.

Now decide if you are ready to change the feeling or want to hold onto it a little longer. It is always our choice.

When you are ready to change your feeling or mood – simply start thinking about something that makes you feel good. Anything goes here! Pick any good thoughts about anything.

Think a pleasant thought and it becomes another and then another.
You will now begin to feel better and better.
Good feeling thoughts are an instant pick me up. (So is dancing by the way)

There is nothing wrong with down moments or even down days. It’s how we think of them and respond to them that makes the real difference. There is nothing good or bad – only our thoughts make it so.

So whenever you feel like it – enjoy a down day so you can really appreciate a great day!

With great love, Suzanne

What about down days?

No matter how positive we choose to be, we all have down moments that can even extend to down days. What happened to us? We just got caught in a vortex of negative thoughts and emotions. It may have started small but it spiraled us down. What do we do now?

Really it all boils down to our focus. What did we get hung up focusing on? Surely there is an upside if we look for it. Can we concentrate on what is working? Can we focus on what is good in our lives? Can we focus on what are we grateful for? We can choose to maintain our focus or to refocus at anytime.

All it takes is a slight shift of focus to help us climb out of down days so that we can better pursue and enjoy our dreams. Before we know it we will be wondering what we were so down about. So what is the good stuff you can focus on right now?

With great love, Suzanne
