So What do I do when that happens?

I first acknowledge that I have let myself slip back into old patterns of thought.  Because I do know better, and have been practicing new, improved ways of thinking and being, I can no longer get away with "lazy thinking" and not experience the effects of it.  This is a good thing, really, because there is never any going backwards. Who would want to? I certainly wouldn't. I'll take a swift kick in the rear from the Universe any day than to go back to not knowing any better (consciously).

The next thing I do is keep reaching in my bag-of-tricks for the sure-fire better feeling thoughts that usually work for me no matter how low I may be feeling. I reach for the tools I outline in my Complete Guide to Success with Law of Attraction and practice the basics.  I begin with things to appreciate right in front of me.

There was one Sunday in particular when I wasn't feeling well and I could feel my old friend "depression" trying to get to me again. One bad feeling thought led to another and another and before I knew it, I was feeling really bad! I thought, how can this be? I teach this stuff!

I decided to go for a walk and as I did, I started to appreciate the sunny day, and then the cool, crisp air, and then my amazing, wonderful physical body, and my lungs and heart working so hard for me, and so on. Before I knew it, I was feeling a lot of love and appreciation for that moment and for myself. Law of attraction kept giving me more and more to appreciate and by the time I got back home, I had completely shifted my vibration.

This simple tool, looking for things to appreciate in the moment, no matter where you are or what you are doing, is a very effective way to feel better fast.

I use this daily, all the time, even when I am already feeling good, just to feel even better. Nothing is more effective than appreciation to bring more good into your life. Appreciation is a lot like gratitude, except even more powerful. The vibration is pure and resistance-free. It is the equivalent of love and equally powerful. Together they are unbeatable for raising your vibration and improving your mood and point of attraction.

When you are experiencing a "bad day" and nothing seems to be working, remember this simple little trick of bringing your awareness to the present moment, and then looking for things to appreciate right now.  You will absolutely positively keep finding things if you are willing to look for them and are willing to give up the bad mood.

Be mindful of the great trickster,  Martyr. I lived with her for a long time and finally let her go.  If you give her the power, she will destroy your happiness and sabotage any chance of allowing your well-being. I used to give her so much power and she kept me miserable for years. Now that I see her for what she is, I can release her with love knowing that while she served a purpose in the past (hence her presence in my life), she no longer does, as I am comfortable in my own power now and don't need her to take it from me.

That was yet another great lesson in my life. Awareness is the key.  Living your life authentically ensures a life of happiness and joy. It is your birthright and your natural state of being. Allow that to shine and look for ways to feel good and only good can come!
