Postcards from the Funny Farm

With the threat of economic collapse on our states’ and country’s shoulder, we need something to hang our hat on.  As an “amateur therapist” on the internet, and I say that with my tongue firmly in my cheek, I took it upon myself to provide you with 10 successful thoughts that will weather any storm, even the one our country is in now:

1. Physical: The body fuels the mind.  Are you exercising every day?
2. Studies have shown a simple haircut increases mood.  If you’re follicly challenged (like me) you could try shaving it.  Ladies in this predicament, ever consider a cute wig?
3. Our parents were right, you ARE what you eat.  Are you eating enough nutritional meals?
4. Mental: From a distance, things look different.  Have you stood back and looked at your situation?
5. Our long-held beliefs determine the way we view situations in life.  We are many time wrong about our situation.  ie; because your boss calls you in doesn’t mean you’re being fired.  Are you beliefs dooming your reactions?
6. You have 2 eyes, 2 ears, and only one mouth.  Try observing and listening more while talking less.
7. Inspirational: “80% of success is showing up” -Woody Allen
8. Those who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, usually do.
9. Learn how to find peace between the things that happen.
10. If at first you don’t succeed, redefine success.
