Seven Points for Positive Living That Work...

Here are seven points for positive living that work.  There is no special order for these ideas and they may or may not need to all be present.  You can decide that for yourself.
Gratitude:
It is amazing what gratitude can do.  Gratitude for what you say?  Gratitude for everything.   Emphasizing the positive is very helpful.  From the Morning Song from P’taah,  www.ptaah.com :  “I give thanks for the love that I am... Thank you for the gift of life that I am.... Thank you for the riches and the richness of my life....”
That is only a very small part of it.   It is very inclusive.  Try giving thanks for everything you can think of, P’taah suggests doing so as a song in your shower daily. 
Intention:
Make all that you want an intention in your life.  Think it, say it...Write it if you would like.  Here are some suggestions:  I intend to live a long life.  I intend to heal my life.  I intend to live a life free of pain, anxiety, fear.  You put in your choice.   You can only realize the power of intention by using it. 
Paying attention to the still small voice:
You can call this intuition, the voice of angels, God, whatever you like,  just know that it is that part of you that knows.  Sometimes this is only an urge, an inclination.  It has been called sychronicity.  The part of you that is in contact with Spirit, God if you wish. the part of you that is all knowing, will communicate with you if you only learn to listen and to pay attention.  
Positive Attitude:
It is not always easy to keep positive.  And if you are in a position where you are having trouble keeping positive work toward it.  Find the positive things and work to change your attitude.  You will be amazed what it can do for you. 
Acceptance:
Work to accept all things including all people.  If you can develop acceptance the negativity will flow off of you as the proverbial water off a ducks back.  Try it.  You will see that it works. 
Exercise:
The benefits of exercise have been touted for years.   Exercise such as a simple walk or yoga will do wonders.  And if you are so inclined, Dance.   You don’t have to be in a dance hall or disco to dance.  How about in front of your TV or Ipod?  Leonard Cohen, singer and songwriter, talks about dancing in his song, Dance Me to the End of Love”
with these lines.”Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love”
Meditation:
There are different ideas and definitions of meditation.  It has often been said that speaking to God is prayer, listening to God is meditation.  Dance and song can be forms of meditation.  Allow yourself to be quiet for a few moments.  Allowing yourself to become mindful, really present in your life is meditation.  

Find your own variations of the above ideas but by using these seven suggestions and making a practice of them you will find that they do work.   You may even by amazed by the changes in your life.
