10 Ways To Feel
Absolutely Brilliant
by Gail Miller
We all feel a little down in the
mouth from time to time, but there are things we can do to make
ourselves feel full of vim and vigor again, you know. Here are
some of my tips to make you feel absolutely brilliant again.
1; Decide to do something different from your usual routine.
Take a different route to work. Get off the bus a few stops
short and walk the rest of the way. Have a salad lunch for a
change, if you usually have sandwiches. Just make a small
change.
2; Book yourself a holiday. Even if you can only afford a
weekend away. The change of scene will make you feel energized
again. You might even meet someone new if you're single!
3; Take responsibility for your actions. Do you usually blame
circumstances or other people when something goes wrong in your
life? If so then try to remember only *you* can be in charge of
your own destiny. You can't change the world, you can only
change yourself. Once you take responsibility for what happens
to you, you can take action and move forwards.
4; Ever heard the saying "Act your age, not your shoe size"?
Well, for once, why not act your shoe size and not your age? Go
to the park and have a go on the swings. Take the kids with you,
chase around and make lots of noise. Laugh and have FUN!
5; Try to fit some exercise into your schedule. Not only will
you start to look better, you will start to feel better too.
6; Try to make someone else feel good. How often do you do
something completely unselfish? It is amazing how good you will
feel by making someone else's day. Help an old person, make a
stranger smile, have a conversation with a lonely person.
Helping others is excellent for the soul.
7; Take the lead in your relationship. Show your man you are
feeling frisky. Many males are turned on by an assertive woman.
Let him know, in no uncertain terms that you are feeling
passionate.
8; Stop thinking "I'll do it tomorrow". Do you have something
praying on your mind that you need to start or complete? Well,
make today the day to DO IT!
9; Look after yourself, with a lovely relaxing bath, facial and
/ or foot massage, in fact anything that makes YOU feel good.
After all you're worth it!
10; Be thankful for what you have got, not resentful about what
you haven't. I am sure if you look around you, you can find many
others far worse off than you are. So count your blessings.
