 Ways to Stay Positive in Difficult Situations In difficult situations, it's hard to find the opportunity in the crisis and stay positive. But that is exactly what we need to do. We may need a mentor, advisor or support group to help us. The situation needs a new perspective. Here are some things you can do to be better prepared when you are being pulled to negative thinking and situations: *Say no politely and be honest at the same time. Giving a solid reason for saying no that is based on the situation and not the personality of the person, diffuses blame. If the issue is based on personality, you can explain that the two philosophies or styles or methods are different without attacking the person. * Set the example for whatever it is you teach, do or stand for. For example, if you say you believe in something, act accordingly. You will not only gain trust of others, you'll increase trust in ourselves. *Look for ways to do things that simplify life and reduce or eliminate the time wasters that are burdens. Finding ways to reduce stress in simple daily life will help us to stay positive. Examples are misplacing keys, announcements, important phone numbers and to do lists. By putting them in a place to will find them easily you save time and personal energy. *Find role models and mentors. These people can show us how they reach their goals and help you to reinforce yours. You can draw from teachers, business and health professionals, friends and family. You can spend some time with them observing. *Engage in activities that are in alignment with your positive thinking and that are inspiring to you. This includes reading, watching movies and listening to audio programs. *Step out of your comfort zone. You can do things that are stretches for you by trying something new. This builds confidence and resiliency. An example is playing a game with someone who is more of an expert than you are, reading material that is challenging but worthy of understanding, trying a new activity that takes us to the next step in you skill level. *Spend time by yourself, writing down what you want and visualizing those things in pictures. By doing this, you imprint them in you mind so that you can move towards what you desire. In my book Pathfinding I write, "When we are immersed in positive energy, we can tell immediately when something does not feel right, and it becomes much easier to make the right choices. We can find positive energy in a variety of ways, from being in the garden, to walking in the woods or on the beach, to spending time with a friend. Even special possessions, such as a pin, piece of crystal, a plate, a charm bracelet or grandmother's shawl, can give positive energy. Those are the things we need to surround ourselves with to help us stay positive." When we can say to ourselves, 'I really love this,' 'It was so wonderful to be with that person today,' or 'Going to that place did so much for me,' we know we are on that high frequency of positive energy." Warmly,
Patricia
