How To Stay Optimistic During The Gloomiest Times

Greetings:

If you are a subscriber to 365 Days of Coaching you know that today's Day was about how to stay optimistic during the gloomiest of times. If you are in the slightest plugged into the news you know things seem pretty bad. As one reader said to me "It seems like things are going to hell in a hand basket." That is one way to look at what is happening. The other way is to see this as a course correction. Things need to change and the current situation is providing an opportunity for that to happen. And in order for things to change the old way of doing things must be released. It just doesn't work anymore. Unfortunately it often has to get pretty painful before people are will to change.

In the Day today I quoted an affirmation from Abraham Hicks, "It is better, it is getting better and it is going to be alright." I know some people don't think affirmations work, I tend to disagree. I think they work all too well and we say affirmations all the time we are just usually not aware of it. Things like, "This is too hard" "I can't do this" "Bad things always happen to me" are all affirmations. They just are not very positive ones and don't serve you very well. I figure I would rather replace the affirmations that I am currently mindlessly chanting with ones that will actually help me, or at least not hurt me.

The affirmation came out of a video clip my good friend Cookie Tuminello sent me. Just go to the Abraham Hicks website to view.


Yes you can go to hell in a hand basket if you choose, or go somewhere else if you decide to. I personally have decided to go in a different direction and not participate in the current crisis. This doesn't mean I am hiding my head in the sand. It means I am taking a look at what is going on in my life and business and where I need to make changes and do a course correction. I believe this is a great opportunity to reinvent myself. Just a note of interest, more millionaires were made during the great depression than any other time in history. Just something to think about.

Here's to taking action,
