9 Tips for Tranquility Tranquility Tip #1 – Surround yourself with the positive!

Take inventory. Pay attention to where you place your focus. What images do you have displayed around you in your home and office? How do spend your time? What shows do you watch on television? Are these images and activities in alignment with the life you want to create? Make a conscious effort to surround yourself with positive images. It is ok to be aware of the realities of the world around us but we do not need to become obsessed with the negative programming on the news, television and other media. Place your focus on what uplifts your spirit. Surround yourself with positive images that will nourish your spirit. Choose images, visual affirmations and experiences that inspire you and make you smile. By surrounding yourself with uplifting images and thoughts you will have more to give when you go out into the world.

Tranquility Tip #2 – Think positive, speak positive, be positive!

What are you thinking about? The law of attraction states that we attract to us what we focus on. Watch your words, they are powerful magnets. Pay attention to your thoughts. Avoid getting wrapped up in negative trains of thought, gossip or conversations that contain things you do not want to attract into your reality. These are trains to nowhere good and you don’t want to board them. Remember you can choose the thought patterns to follow and which ones to reject. If you notice yourself getting caught up in a negative thought pattern that is full of drama, judgment or negative emotion it won’t feel good. Pay attention and when you catch yourself in that situation and make a conscious choice to shift your focus for the time being. If it involves an issue you need to resolve you can come back to it from a higher, more positive perspective at another time.
