Joan Adams and sister Betty DeLorme have compiled a great electronic book on different approaches to staying on a high vibrational plane, how to lift your mood when feeling blue, how to take action when you are feeling sad.
I am proud to say that I wrote a chapter for their book called: "Thoughts Are Alive!!"
Each chapter gives direction on Banishing The Blahs, lifting your mood and boosting your spirit! In fact, the act of reading these chapters immediately rises your mood, whatever it is you are experiencing!
I thought I'd make a list of my own personal favorite mood enhancers to add to the treasure chest:
1) Turn off the Television.
I like to be up on what is happening in the world, but watching the news is a downer I no longer wish to participate in. The pundits tell people how to think based on their own prejudice, they tell people how to vote, and in essence, no longer objectively report the news.
2) Sit in your favorite chair and bask in a sun beam.
3) Meditate with your favorite cat resting on your knee.
4) Seek out periods of silence every day.
5) Concentrate on the Life Force present behind each in and out breath, all day long. These are private and joyous three dimensional moments you share only with yourself and can be done no matter what is going on around you.
6) Prevent depression--avoid Crazymakers.
My last article goes into this in more detail!
7) Do not participate in gossip or join others when they are complaining. You will feel much better by avoiding the negativity.
8) Start your own blog and write several posts a week. Do this only if you love to write. This will help you because you are sharing your talents with the world.
9) Encourage people to comment on your blog. That way an open discussion ensues and you feel connected to your audience.
10) Sit, walk and sleep with your dogs.
11) Create a "dream board" as Joan describes in her electronic book called "10 X 10." This is a free Electronic Book and you can have it by going here:

12 )Amanda Goldston recommends an "Ideal Day Fun Card" in Joan and Betty's book. This involves first of all writing down everything you can think of that you would BE, DO, or Have every day that brings you joy and also is Fun!!
Then you find pictures that represent these things and paste and laminate these pictures on a 3X5 card and carry it around with you.
Everything on this card should make you smile! Touch the card in your pocket several times a day. The power of this visualization tool is evidenced by your dreams and visions manifesting faster into your life.
13) Go out at night and gaze into the starry sky. Learn the constellations and pick them out. Identify the so-called ecliptic and recognize the Astrological constellations there: Aries, Pisces, Gemini, Cancer, Leo etc.
Star gazing is even more fun with a telescope. Naturally you will want to do this at a location removed from the bright lights of the city.
14) Figure out when a lunar eclipse is going to happen. Then make sure you are available to in-joy it. This celestial event is soothing, calming and meditative. My husband and I recently watched an eclipse together and we agreed that that this was wonderful quality time.
Time slowed down, we held hands, and watched the moon in all of her phases until she was dark, except for a faint outline of the moon's circumference.
I read that this particular eclipse saved Christopher Columbus and his crew so many moons ago.
He read in his Almanac that an eclipse was going to occur the following night. He and his crew were held captive by the Indians who threatened to kill them.
Columbus said: The moon will disappear then will return because you allowed us to live.
And the rest is his-story.
15) Stroke your dog and/or cat and kiss them. Throw balls for your dog. Massage her back. Clip her nails. Brush her coat. Watch for the look of gratitude which beams from her joyful face.
16) Learn to fully embrace life. Allow resistance to What Is to simply melt away. Be in the moment where you find yourself. Allow that moment to expand and realize that this is the only moment, not a series of moments on a linear time belt.
It all is right Now. Learn to experience this and allow it to grow.
Self Improvement
