Positive Thinking Day

Thursday, September 13th, 2007

Did you know that today, September 13, is Positive Thinking Day?

It (being the Day) has its own website, which says that its purpose is simply to celebrate the benefits of positive thinking. Not a bad idea.

The first thing to do is to focus on the following Positive Thinking Day affirmation: “I choose to create a great day!”

Based on my understanding of affirmations, for it to have an impact you need to repeat it about 20 times with lots of concentration and emotional energy. Then, full of enthusiasm, skip over to the Day’s website to see how else you can make a positive difference.

On another subject, I’ve discovered a couple of fantastic blogs in the last few days.

Trick-Cycling for Beginners

This is written by Shiny Happy Person, a “dissatisfied and stroppy junior psychiatrist” working in the UK’s National Health System. If blogs were given classified ratings then this one would be Adults Only, but if you don’t mind the colorful language then the dry English wit is wonderful.

{ Evolving Blueprint }

I love the name of this blog. The “Evolving Blueprint” is about the changing foundation of your life, as you adjust and grow towards the person you aspire to be.

If you know the zen habits blog then this is in a similar space (nobody shoot me). It is firmly focused on health and personal development but without the common “life hacks” feel. Topics include motivation, living simply, goal setting, relationships, and maintaining core values.
