Little tricks - to win the 'Positivity Game'

This past week I've had many questions about how to tackle the part of us that has trouble being happy. One of the tricks often mentioned in self-help articles in women's magazines on how to pick yourself up on a gloomy day is to wear something bright, and/or use bright-colored lipstick. I tried it a few times and it did work, but the effect was temporary. I'm going to draw up a list here, of such tricks which can be used by both men and women - so put away that lipstick - that will slowly teach you how to master the game of being more and more positive. Some have been mentioned in earlier posts, and one is new:

- When engulfed by negative thinking, find a quiet space, keep a piece of paper and a pen/pencil handy, then close your eyes and very slowly and deliberately figure out what these 'inner voices' are saying. List them. Now go back over the list, and one by one speak to each thought. Say: 'Thank you for the information', and breathe it out. Do this with each negative thought. Once this is complete, breath IN a beautiful golden or golden-white light to fill in the empty space created by breathing out the earlier thoughts.

- The above 'breathing-in' the light technique may be used anytime during the day, as a pick-me-up.

- Another version of the above, and a great way to start the day is to give yourself a 'Light Shower'... Here, see a shower of Light spraying you, with its warm, gentle rays healing you physically and emotionally, and filling you up, giving you the necessary energy for the day.

More on this tomorrow, but in the meanwhile enjoy these.
