Guest guest Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Transform Your Mental Outlook by Jane ‘Count your blessings.†Perhaps one of the simplest ways to change your mood or mental outlook is to remind yourself of all the good things in your life. Reflecting on how far you have come, what you have already accomplished, and what you have learned, can be very encouraging. Appreciating your dearest friends, your closest family members, your favorite possessions and of course yourself can bring a smile to your face. If you need a lift or an attitude adjustment, try to appreciate and reflect on the good things. Count your blessings. It can be done anytime and any place. Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience. May you find serenity and tranquility in a world You may not always understand. May the pain you have known and conflict you have experienced Give you the strength to walk through life Facing each new situation with courage and optimism. Always know that there are those whose love and understanding Will always be there, even when you feel most alone. May you discover enough goodness in others To believe in a world of peace. May a kind word, a reassuring touch, a warm smile be yours Every day of your life, And may you give these gifts as well as receive them. Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending. Teach love to those who know hate, And let that love embrace you as you go into the world. May the teaching of those you admire become part of you, So that you may call upon them. Remember, those whose lives you have touched And who have touched yours are always a part of you, Even if the encounters were less than you would have wished.It is the content of the encounter that is more important than it's form. May you not become too concerned with material matters, But instead place immeasurable value on the goodness in your heart. Find time in each day to see the beauty and love in the world around you. Realize that each person has limitless abilities, But each of us is different in our own way. What you may feel you lack in one regard May be more than compensated for in another.What you feel you lack in the present May become one of your strengths in the future. May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility.Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience. May you find enough inner strength to determine your own worth by yourself, And not be dependent on another's judgment of your accomplishments. May you always feel loved. Times of great consequence Is there something that has you troubled, concerned or discouraged? That very same situation can just as realistically cause you to be hopeful and encouraged and positively successful. The future has not happened yet, and the way it will unfold is completely open. Where there is the possibility for defeat and failure there is also the possibility for success and improvement. Where much is at risk of being lost, there is much that can be gained. Times of great consequence are times of great opportunity. Just imagine what would happen if you could turn your perspective around. Just imagine it, and know that’s precisely what you can do. You can make the decision to create the most positive outcome. You can make the commitment to focus the energy of the situation in a creative and productive direction. Instead of turning your eyes away from the difficulty, open your eyes to the powerful opportunity. Choose to envision your own best outcome, then choose to do whatever is necessary to make it happen.
