Extraordinary minds are very good at grasping the big picture.  While most of us are trying to remember who gave us our last good deed, really successful people are highly aware of the thousands of gifts which support their lives.  Give a Listen — Gratis

It is near Thanksgiving Day in the U.S.  Not that we should save gratitude for a feast day, but still, a good reason to pause and reflect.  The following is taken from the Ultimate Feel-Good Article. Enjoy, and practice the surprise!  And don’t forget there are some League of Extraordinary Minds Panels still to be aired. You can listen to them Here.

What if the Ultimate Feel-Good Article is something WAY DIFFERENT than you expected? Something you can’t even look for. Kind of like what they say about a solution to a puzzle only showing up after you sleep on it, or the answer to a prayer not coming from where you thought it would.

What if the Ultimate Feel-Good Article is one you write yourself? Hey, don’t feel cheated, at least not yet. Like Billy Mays said, “Wait, there’s more.”

• Proposition 1: Spend 15 minutes a day (5 min. for new mothers/fathers and other time-challenged creatures) being with yourself, and jot down a few things you are grateful for. Lists, prose, poetry, outlines, stick-up notes, napkins, doesn’t matter. What matters is that you practice — five minutes every day that you don’t have an all-day migraine.
• Proposition 2: Let the habit sweep you into a new mindset.
• Proposition 3: Allow yourself to think this is important, and it carries the potential to make a BIG difference. Keep your tidbits, WRITTEN.

THE BIG PROP: Read the stuff on the days when you least want to do so.

Read it aloud.

Recite your lists to pets, babies, sleeping squirrels in your oak tree, house plants, mirror, friend on the phone, partner if you have one, favorite lamp, doesn’t matter. What matters is that you listen. Listen, huh?!

The Ultimate Feel-Good Article turns out to be ephemeral, unless it gets to take root in your psyche. So you have to actually listen to yourself to have this work for you long term.

(Short-term yada-yada is quite acceptable, however, because it gets your brain used to the messages, even if your mind still thinks it’s hogwash.)

Try this. Yes, of course, come back and explore our offerings, but first…

Go read YOUR Ultimate Feel-Good Article. Then come back and leave us a comment, or questions about getting the hang of it. We’ll be here for you.

Spot-on.  We agree.  Give your mind this extraordinary habit-gift.  It can be yours.

And bend an ear toward these conversations.  That gift can also be yours.

Both opportunities can morph into game-changing habits that last a lifetime!

What a tall order. Too Tall, for some of us to reach easily.  In fact, it may take some real cleverness, or at least some great tricks and tools.

Good news!  There are such tools.  Some of them are habits and skills that make a huge difference in our resilience and success.  They can give us increased energy and improve our mood.  They can lower our anxiety and help us feel like we do have some control over things.  They can move us out of the stuck places in our lives.

So take heart and check out the resources we offer, and then begin to practice some of the suggestions and learn the skills.  They can help you get through difficulties with better self-esteem, and maybe with your dreams and visions intact.

Watch this space!  Exciting new resources are always coming and going, so take advantage of those time-sensitive offers. Look for things that help you define and reach your goals.  And things you want to learn because it simply makes you happy.

In the meantime, see if you can begin to believe you can.
Make it so today is not like yesterday, and tomorrow will be…different forever.
