Sending Yourself Sunshine

Sending Yourself Sunshine

Good Thoughts For The Day

When things go wrong, it is easy to get
into a bad mood, and that bad mood has a way of spiraling
out and affecting our life for days to come. In the same
way, when we feel badly about ourselves, we tend to act in
ways that have repercussions, again creating a negative vibe
that can negatively influence the next several days. While
it is important that we allow ourselves to feel what we
feel, and to be genuine, we do not have to completely
surrender to a dark mood or feelings of self-doubt. In fact,
the more we simply allow and accept our darkness as one part
of the picture, the more easily we can also allow and accept
our light. In this vein, we can temper our grey moods with
an injection of sunshine in the form of sending good wishes
to ourselves for the next 24 hours.



If you feel a bad mood coming on or find yourself plagued
with negative feelings, take a moment to acknowledge that.
At the same time, recognize that things can and will change,
and that you can still have a good day, or a good week,
especially if you take the time to visualize that for
yourself. This is a great way to support yourself when you
are working through tough times and hard feelings. When you
visualize good things for yourself, you are sending yourself
love and warmth, as well as encouraging yourself to keep
going.



Before you even get out of bed in the morning, you can take
the time to send good wishes to yourself all the way through
to the next morning. As you picture your day, take the time
to fill in the details—where you are going, who you will
see, what you will do—and send love and good wishes ahead to
yourself, as well as everyone you encounter. It will be like
arriving in a new place and finding that an old friend has
sent a bouquet of flowers from back home to welcome you and
remind you that you are loved.
