The mood lottery.......

How many of us allow our mood to be dictated by the traffic in the morning.....or by the good/bad nights sleep you had......or the way in which your partner spoke to you last night/this morning?

Its amazing isn't it when we think about our mood and attitude and how we allow ourselves to be affected by our surroundings or people around us?

The good news is though that your day doesn't have to start with a mood lottery....where what you are thinking and feeling is pot luck. There are some simple techniques that you can use to set yourself on the right path each day.....

1: When you wake up in the morning immediately focus on what you are grateful for. Have visual trigger in your immediate view when you wake up that says.....I thankful and grateful because.......

2: Make sure your environment is condusive to positive thinking....are you listening to your favourite music on the way to work? Are you watching positive TV before you leave in the morning? Are you focussing on what you are going to achieve?

3: Use positive language throughout the day.....YES even when things don't go your way....KEEP IT POSITIVE!!!

4: Look throughout the day at the small wins as well as the big ones! The small ones, if there's enough of them, add up to big ones!!!!!

5: Surround yourself with people that are on the same wave length as you.....educate those negative people in your life about the power of positivity.......

I am truly blessed to having an amazingly positive partner, work colleagues where positivity oozes out of them and family/friends that are massively supportive.......BUT none of this would matter if I wasn't positive myself.....

Remember your mood is dictated by YOU not someone/something else......

Have a cracking day
