feeling down?
When you feel down, the first step is to fully become aware of this feeling. Where is it in your body? Try to trace your thoughts back to how it all started. This will help you build a practice to uncover how and when you get the blues.
be kind
One great way to get out of the blues is to help someone who needs your help. Even allow someone else to be kind to you. Try not to snap back at such an individual, receive their help graciously. Smile.

Every moment of one’s existence, one is growing into more or retreating into less. One is always living a little more or dying a little bit. - Norman Mailer
what’s going on?
Here’s a great opportunity to become more aware of self. Just like every thought eventually comes from either the emotion of fear or love, similarly you’re either shrinking into yourself or growing out, blossoming!
blossom out!
Notice where you’re at, at any given moment, then choose, intentionally, to banish any fears or doubts, then adopt a higher more lovely thought about your self or where you’d rather be. Choose well.
Daily Affirmation: Every time I breathe, I grow in confidence and ability. In all the good things of life, I’m unstoppable!
