Christmas and the holiday season are upon us.
In the turbulent and unsettled economic times that are affecting many of us,
take frequent moments during the day to be thankful for everything. Everything.
The good moments and the not-so-good moments.

And as we let ourselves be thankful, we can also say, "I LIKE THIS!"
Every moment, every experience has something to teach us. Let your
"I LIKE THIS!" moment be the trigger that reminds you of other happy
thoughts and memories.

Thoughts are like magnets. They tend to attract like-minded thoughts. Have you noticed that if you wake up in a bad mood, your negative thoughts can attract more of the same
as the day passes?

Wake, however, with neutral, happy, or positive thoughts, and you will likely generate
more and more positive thoughts through the day.

Each time you have a positive, uplifting thought, reinforce it, saying. "I LIKE THIS!"
This motto or slogan acts as a trigger device, and encourages you to associate the slogan with the positive.

I LIKE THIS!

If or when you notice depressing, anxious, worrisome or other negative thoughts trying to get your attention, pause for a few moments, take a few deep breaths, and remember what you like.

Be`ready for these negative thoughts. Take a few moments now to write down things you like. Replace the negative thought with the positive one. Say to yourself, silently or aloud, what you like. Think your positive thought or see the positive mental image and say: "I like this!"

Hey! Here's a switch. Instead of thinking about things you don't like, choose to think about things you do like. Take a few moments everyday to pause, think and say, "I like this!"

It only takes a few moments, a few breaths, and a little awareness to say, "I like this!"

Choose to focus on things and thoughts that feel good. Say it: "I like this!"
