“Too many people miss the silver lining because they’re expecting gold.” – Maurice Setter
Look for the silver lining.
There’s always good things to be discovered and enjoyed in your life. When you focus your energies on searching for and acting on the good in a situation, you spend less energy and time on worrying and other negative stresses. “When life hands you lemons, make lemonade!” You’ll reduce your stress and you’ll enjoy the eventual outcome.
Live in the moment.
When you focus on the now, you leave yesterday behind and let go of worry for the future. Those stressors are not in your picture, instead, you enjoy each moment to its fullest.
Rejoice in the simple things: a cool breeze in the summer, the aroma of the coffee brewing, or the beauty of the dawn. Enjoy what your senses bring to you and fully experience it in the moment.
Laugh! When something is funny, don’t just deliver a reserved chuckle. Allow yourself the pleasure of a full belly-laugh. This immediately releases stress and makes you feel good at the same time. Laughing is spontaneous, instantaneous, and makes it impossible to harbor a negative feeling.
Living in the moment brings you a sense of peace and calm. Yet, it also enables you to hurtle forward toward your goals
Wishing you a larger life,
BB
