What's the good news?
Wow, what a possible dull, dull day this is. Very gray out, overcast, cold...potential for a dip in morale. Don't get it twisted, friends, I feel great. But this brings up a great topic.
It's not always going to be warm and sunny. The weather will not always reflect how you want to feel inside. So what should you do? How do you work up to feel fantastic, when it looks like Storm from The X-men has a personal vendetta against you? ( And note that this will be more difficult for some than others. For some people, the weather is a huge factor in determining how they feel.)
Well I suggest that you start small. If you wake up, and it looks scary outside, turn your eyes from the window, and look around your room. There's got to be something in that room you like. There's something there you enjoy looking at. Smile, it's aesthetically pleasing to you! Make it seem like that thing is the center of your universe. Let that feeling of happiness take over you. Think, "Wow, I really love my 'Waffle Pencil', it is beautiful and I am thankful to have it in my life!"
Just have fun with it. Before you know it, you'll be singing in the shower. Then that good mood will fuel your enjoying breakfast, and then you'll skip to your car, whistle at work...you'll just be happy. (And all thanks to your happy 'Waffle Pencil')
That's' pretty much what I did today. It was gray this morning, and I could have groaned and crawled out of bed dreading the day. But instead, I focused in and gazed adoringly at my netbook. It's a really nice piece of hardware that lets me get all of my work done. It's very pretty (purple colored) and the best part is that I bought it with my own money that I worked for. 3-5 minutes I spent just being devoted to and in love with my netbook. (And this is just an example. You don't HAVE to pick an actual OBJECT. You can pick an attribute about your life, or yourself. Whatever will get you to smile.) Then I was good for the rest of the day! Really, I kid you not.
Just give it a try. I was able to pay attention and understand a really difficult Science lecture, then clean and organize my room. I had the most fun working on my vision board, and it gets better and better. I might even take a quick jog before starting my homework.
Abraham Hicks taught me: the most important thing in the world is HOW YOU FEEL, RIGHT NOW. So let's work at feeling great now, so that we make a cycle of feeling great, and draw only great experiences.
