It's Day 4 of Sunshine Seven Ways and I bet any money that, if you have followed these suggestions, you are practically glowing by now. I'm feeling pretty darn good myself.  

In fact, I've spent the morning at the YMCA National Prayer Breakfast (representing the Urban Ministry Center) for a massive gathering of people, agencies and organizations  to send up loving thoughts for the Charlotte community. It's no coincidence that today's suggestion fits right in with this morning's activities. 

Suggestion #4: Think Good Thoughts

We've all heard the phrase that "Thoughts become Things." I happen to believe this to be true.  Positive mantras are my way of telling negative thoughts that "We don't like your kind 'round here."  They keep the the negative tape track out of the cassette player and me out of Negative Nancy-land.

Often, I try to cocoon myself with positive sayings and mantras like this chalkboard wall in my dining room and these stickers which live on my water container. I also like to tape notes  where I can see them on the daily, like my computer screen or bathroom mirror.  I also fancy this little resource which sends notes to my inbox everyday.

So, on this phenomenal, extraordinary Thursday, I hope you will join me in thinking good thoughts for yourself and all those around you. 

If you're day needs a reset- try starting with this quote from Ernest Holmes who says, "Drop all negative thoughts from the mind. Do not dwell upon adversity, but think plenty into everything. Meditate on the things you are doing as being already done- complete and perfect."  

What are some of your favorite mantras? I'd love to hear from you.
