Shifting perspectives

• Physical Exercise – Doing some light exercise creates a huge boost in your physical energy.
• Think Faster – Games, brainstorming or other thinking exercises boost your mental energy.
• Drink Some Water – Hydrating yourself can give you a boost of energy.

You may notice that often when you are in a bad mood you don’t do very much. Depressed people often perpetuate their mood by remaining in the same environment.

Going to see friends, watching a movie, reading a book, even doing the errands and chores that need to be done, are all methods of getting new input.

Gratitude is intended to change three things: your past, your present, your future. 

If you’re not transforming your past, present, and future, then you aren’t fully experiencing the benefits of gratitude.

Stop focusing on what's missing from your life. And rather than measuring yourself against your ideals, measure yourself against where you were before.

When you live in the gain, all you see is progress. What you focus on expands.

During the most painful days, or when one is upset, is procrastinating, sick or injured, or having relationship issues, it is easy to forget the good parts, and therefore extremely important to 'balance the scales' by remembering what you are grateful for.

Be thankful for having the energy and power to heal, for the time provided to you on this planet, and for the way challenges help you grow wiser.

One chooses to be grateful, focusing on the little miracles of life, no matter what the circumstances.
