2011

It is easy to look back over the last year and remember all the negative things that have happened but this is the time to reflect on all the positive things which have happened and take a moment to give thanks.
The main stream media seems intent on sending us negative news hour by hour but behind the scenes there is always positive news which never reaches the headlines.
We are lucky enough to hear from positive people everyday, those out there who are helping people to live their dreams, helping others to use their skills to help those less fortunate than ourselves, people working to protect the planet in fact the list is endless but without these people the International Lifestyle Magazine would not be as successful as it is.
This year we have seen a new cover launch, the International Real Estate Magazine and in February 2012 we launch the Austalian Lifestyle Magazine, again proof that there is plenty of positivity out there.
2012 can be a great year for everyone we just need to grab life by the hands and do something positive, we need to take control and move forward and push aside all the negativity.
Here is to positivity. xx

Take The Time To Care.

All too often we are caught up in our own issues to notice that others may need your help.

It takes two minutes to stop and talk to someone, to remark on how well they are looking, what a nice dress they are wearing or how great their hair looks. Simple things but all things that go towards increasing confidence and self esteem.

Sometimes just taking a moment to touch their arm, to generate positivity to them through touch can help lift their mood, bring a smile to their face and make the day seem just that little bit better.

The next time you see someone that looks down or in need of a little interaction, just take a moment, the smile you see on their face as you leave them will give you both the gift of positive energy, and with positive energy we can achieve so much.

Just Do It!

The world is currently in crisis. This is nothing new really there is always something that needs dealing with but the images from Egypt have been incredibly powerful and have demonstrated just what the power of belief can achieve.

It also demonstrated that we can all achieve what we desire through the power of belief and by following that which we really believe.

There are many stories of people who have achieved so much through following their passion, they have over come the critics, pushed aside the negative remarks and simply pulled up their sleeves and kept on their path.

It can be difficult at times, of course it can, when you keep hearing that what you are doing is ridiculous or how you should think about getting a real job, but keep reminders around you about what you are going to achieve, how you are going to do it. For me personally, keep pictures and notes on a special place in your house (mine is on the kitchen wall) to keep you focused,to keep that visualisation alive but above all, never stop believing in yourself and you will succeed.

Blue Monday, What On Earth Is That?

The news in the UK is filled today with how this is the gloomiest day and how everyone will feel fed up throughout this day! I have to say, if you keep saying that you will feel like that so why on earth do we not have the happiest day, or presenters offering us news that will give us a lift and make us feel great.

I flicked through several channels early this morning, when people are at their most vulnerable including the BBC, ITV, CCN and many more.

How we feel is a state of mind. If you walk around feeling down, moaning about everything, seeing the bad in everything obviously you are going to feel awful. What we need to be doing is looking at all the positives in the world, identifying all the great things about our own lives and building on these feelings.

The media is great at bringing people down, controlling them using emotions that can only lead to a demotivated society. When society is demotivated it is easier to bring in changes that we may otherwise stand up against but if you feel down you generally do not have the energy to stand up and we start to accept more and more. The same applies to your own life.

If you feel down you will allow more and more negativity into your life. Someone may say something to you that makes you feel, well in short horrible, but without the energy you do not confront the remarks, you simply accept them.

Put a smile on your face, confirm to yourself what is great about you and no matter what the media or anyone else tells you, this is a great day and you only accept positivity, you reject any negativity, because you love life, you love yourself and you want only happiness and peace for your future no matter how hard others try to restrict it.

What A Fantastic Day!

If we start the day with positive thinking we can be pretty sure that the rest of the day will go on to be positive.

Start by looking in the mirror in the morning. It is easy to start the day by saying how tired you look, or how your hair could do with a tidy up, but this just leads to a day of feeling less positive on your overall outlook.

Start your day by making a promise to yourself that today will be a positive day, that their are no problems only solutions, that this will be a fantastic day.

The moment any negativity enters your head simply reject it. Your energies should be put into positivity at all time. Negativity feeds on your energy and once it gets a hold it will continue to feed until you feel exhausted. Take control of negativity and do not allow it in.

I know that live throws problems at us but letting them take a hold, making us feel less confident and therefore affecting our self esteem does nothing. Taking control and actually reacting to problems in a positive way increases our confidence and therefore our self esteem and with a hightened self esteem we can do anything.

Today is a fantastic day and it is only going to get better.
