End On An Upbeat

Beaumont

Hi to all of my friends and new folks here!

I'm looking for your suggestions on how I can end on an upbeat more often.

-I don't watch late night news because I don't need the media planting more fear-based news coverage in my mind. I need my day to end with something more positive than television.

-I try different forms of have a nice day when leaving the company of others, such as have a wonderful/blessed/great/...day!

-At the end of the day I try to remember the good things that happened. Bad things happened too, but unless they're life threatening, I don't need to dwell on them.

Sometimes I end my days with listening to some calming music. I also get some books on tape & listen to them. Keeps my mind off things. Both work very well with some candles & a hot bath.

i try to stay positive all day, listen to a CD of choice on the way to and from work, to avoid the ricoche advertising. I ALWAYS say goodnight at the end of the day at work. I wonder why so many people I work with in the same large room just--leave--no goodnight, just leave. I seek out the cleaning lady before I go to tell her goodnight. Just doesn't make sense to me. I keep the radio on MPR classical music low all night as a background noise. And like you said, don't dwell on the bad things.

I am in the process of making a "motivational" poster for myself, with quotes, goals, things about myself that I am proud of, etc. That way when I feel bad, I will be able to look at it and remind myself why I am a valuable person. Speaking of which, does anyone know of a good site with good motivational quotes?

And yes, music usually helps.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
