Everyone comes across stressful times in life when things aren’t going as smoothly as would be nice, and circumstances aren’t falling into place. Perhaps people in your life aren’t being agreeable, or your work situation isn’t as fulfilling as it once was. Perhaps family members are giving you trouble, or funds aren’t adding up as you’d envisioned.
There are a multitude of things that could be going wrong, and everyone’s life is different… however, you already know – somewhere deep down – there is a much longer list of things that are going right for you. The problem is that when someone feels dragged down by negative happenings, they forget all about the positive side of things. They forget how amazing they are as a person; they forget how many wondrous things exist in their daily life; they forget to notice the little but magical blessings that show up; they forget about all of the tiny happinesses of living!

So, what to do???
How do you get out of a slump once you find yourself immersed by it????

Well, first of all… I know I mention this often, but it’s become an integral part of my day and I’ve noticed vast improvements because of it! Make sure that each morning, within about 10 minutes of waking up, you find time to get in front of a mirror (by yourself, and out of earshot of anyone else so you don’t feel weird). Look yourself in the eyes, smile, and say “Thank you for being so wonderful” and then say “Thank you for being so beautiful [or handsome]” and then say “Thank you, [your first name].” Once you acknowledge to yourself (with conviction) that you are awesome and deserving of life’s beauties, your day is started that much better.

Second, make sure you don’t surround yourself with annoying noises or commercials within the first hour or so of being awake. When you’re just waking up, the body is getting acclimated to what kind of day it’s going to be… and it’s important to start it off with only pleasant sounding noises and also start it off with a lack of advertising or other things you have to tune out.
Perhaps this means you ask people you’re not on good terms with to wait an hour or two before speaking with you, after you wake up. I’ve noticed that the first thirty minutes are crucial, and as long as you can keep things positive for that long it’s a good beginning to the day. If you can keep things positive for the first hour after waking, then it’s a great beginning to the day!

Third, work a little more on not perpetuating the dramas of your life. It’s inevitable that there will be people and situations that are just trying to get you riled up. But how do you react? And how do you respond? Those are what really matter, because they govern your mood, and the frequency of similar situations in the future.
The amount of respect you have for yourself and others is evident at these times, and it’s important to remember that you DESERVE prosperity and positivity, and so does everyone else. 🙂

Fourth, if you ever find yourself wondering what there is in this life for you anymore, make a mental list. Think of all the things/people you’d miss in this world and all the people that would miss you. There are always many more reasons to keep on than there are reasons to give up. Remember to never choose a permanent solution to what is probably a temporary problem.

Everyone is just out here, roaming around, trying to access the most beneficial scenario for themselves. We’re all on a similar path, and there are more than enough riches and happy miracles for everyone to enjoy – on a daily basis!
Keep your eyes open to these miracles that knock on your proverbial door… and keep your heart open to the positivity that is always coming your way. Life situations aren’t always good, because we need just a touch of not-so-wonderful moments so that we can appreciate the depth of all the oh-so-wonderful ones. Since it’s all a matter of perspective; why not entertain the most beneficial way of looking at things? You will surely be rewarded many times over for choosing this positive point of view; most likely, you’ll begin to notice additional miracles right away!
