Open your mind to a breeze….


June is Fresh Air Month.

It is time to clean the clutter from your mind and feel the summer breezes start to flow through you. Shake your head and de-clutter your thoughts.
Here are some tips to open your mind:

1. Sweep Away the Negative. Stop criticizing and putting limitations on yourself - you are wonderful just the way you are. Remember that no one is perfect. Move forward by being open to learning and becoming who YOU want to be. Visualize and dwell on the things you want, not the things you don’t want or can’t have.

2. Clean out your Memory Closet. Don’t let your past affect your present or your future. Learn from it and move on. Write down our unpleasant memories and how they make us feel. When your brain sees it in writing, it can deal better with it. Then, let go of it. Our negative past can turn into our positive future.

3. Slow Down and have Fun. We are always faced with challenges - how we deal with them is more important. See them as opportunities to learn and challenge yourself to become a better problem solver. Be more willing to take risks instead of having a pity party.

4. Stop Making Excuses. You can do anything you set your mind to – work on believing this. Only you can change you. Be patient. After all, it took years to develop your bad habits. Do a little everyday, invest in yourself and work on YOU daily. Find positive people who will help you and stay away from the naysayers and dream stealers.

5. Treat Yourself with Dignity. Have gratitude for all the things you already have and the things that you don’t yet have will come. Accept others the way they are, and accept yourself as is too. You are in control of what you put into your mind about yourself - keep it positive!

And most importantly:

6. Learn Something New. When we are stressed by life or threatened by the economy, we often retreat into old patterns of behavior – this is not the time to retreat, it is the time to do something different and the only way to do that is to learn something new. Take a class, read a book, find a mentor – its time for you to change the status quo.
