In Life - - - Somedays You Just Have to Create Your Own Sunshine!

"IT IS GOOD TO BE ALIVE!"

Want to feel better about your life?  Incorporate the following into your life and you'll feel BETTER very soon.  I promise.

1. Put yourself at the TOP of the list.  Love yourself.  Take care of you so that you can be there for others. 
2. Get your priorities straight.  Stop 'reacting' to life and take 'control' over setting your own priorities that are meaningful to you. 
3. If something or someone is 'draining you' or 'sapping your energy', figure out what or who it is and "FIX IT".  Ex:  Is it a cluttered house?  Organize it and get rid of the clutter.   Or - downsize your material possessions.  Is it a co-worker or family member who constantly complains?  Tell the person you are 'busy' and be less available so that they might move on to their next 'victim'.  It isn't bad to give yourself this 'break' sometimes from negative energy, it's healthy.
4. Invest in YOUR health.  See some of my earlier posts which elaborate on this. 
5. Figure out what gives YOU 'great pleasure' - "for ME - it is my FAMILY".  For you, it may be 'alone time' or 'creating' or 'learning' or 'whatever'.  Whatever that 'thing' is for you - make sure you get a 'healthy dose' on a regular basis.  I DO.
6. Surround yourself with 'high quality' relationships that support YOU.  Pick those people that encourage you to be your best.
7. Take time to connect with yourself.  Whether you need to meditate to do this or go for a long walk or sit quietly - "nurture and honor your spiritual well-being".
