Celebration

Celebration is possible if each moment brings you something new.
~Osho~

Refocusing

 

When my life gets too hectic, I refocus by spending time alone:
Nothing to do.
Doing nothing.
No conversations either; not email or spoken.
I find that cutting off all external chatter is the most effective tool for me to employ.
This is followed by practicing some deliberate deep breathing, taking a long solitary walk, meditating for fifteen minutes or just being in stillness.

Staying positive

 

is essential for joyful living. I define joyful as a feeling of utter wellbeing.
The attitude is an inside job to begin with and it is maintained throughout.
Ah yes, the maintenance! How is that actually performed?
Focus.
Purely focusing on what IS Wanted.
-What Do I Want Now?-
There are advantages to every situation if you seek them out.
If you expect to find the good- you will.
It works a bit like a magnet:
Expect a solution, think of what is wanted and this or something better must show up.
