I love subliminal messages

If food can scientifically help reduce our crankiness, what role do our daily habits play? If we do these daily, would it help or hurt our crankiness?:

• read, study, associate with, and practice positive thinking
• exercise regularly, eat a balanced diet, get adequate rest
• pray for and serve others before self
• becoming increasingly more effective and efficient at our job
• get and stay decently organized

What say ye?

PS. the photo’s subliminal message is you should strive to be a good one (B1) at whatever you do and I’ve learned to do this on my team of 29 years.

do the chocolate makers influence the news that dark chocolate is healthy?

There’s much debate about attitude and depression, and whether it’s within a person’s control. This Everyday Health article recommends eating certain foods to help alleviate bad moods and crankiness.

Tomorrow, I’ll build on this with a few more simple tactics.

best time to fix the roof is when the sun is shining

Been thinking about this one a lot. And it would seem, to me anyway, the best times to hone our attitude are the following:

1. when we don’t need to
2. all day
3. everyday

we should be ceo of our own personal optimist's club

Habits are what we think and do, without thinking. I’ve found by reading, studying, practicing, visualizing, and most recently, writing, my attitude can be developed to excellent levels of proficiency like anything else I strive to become better at.

Being in tune with our habits isn’t a conscious awareness. Not usually. This is why I need to be conscious of it. So when I’m negative, I can fix it. Fast! Denial and excuses could make me bitter. It would seem being bitter with life is toxic and destructive. I refuse to live with that.

to teach (share) is to learn twice

While it may seem obvious, it can never be, otherwise, we’d have far less quitters in our world. Three reasons to never give up:

1. Habits are what we repeatedly do, without thinking
2. Not quitting bestows the privilege to teach others
3. Teaching others is the highest level of service

it's your move...go!

People have a choice, I think, in finding the “get to do” in their work and life. It’s a conscious choice. And a lifetime of daily focus and effort. It ain’t the magic that makes it work, it’s the work that makes it magic. The day I stopped focusing on the have to do’s and refocused on the get to’s…like night and day.

Lorie Sheffer sans makeup (photo: Gary Sheffer)

Love her or hate her (I love her), she gave us this:

“I feel so relieved to be at the stage I’m at in my life right now, Jill. Because you know if I want to wear my glasses I’m wearing my glasses. If I want to wear my hair back I’m pulling my hair back. You know at some point it’s just not something that deserves a lot of time and attention. And if others want to worry about it, I let them do the worrying for a change. It doesn’t drive me crazy anymore. It’s just not something I think is important anymore.” – Hillary Clinton

In 1971 Rod Stewart, a rock star, released the album “Every Picture tells A Story“. The same is true in these three photos:

before the concert, I explored to see how close I could venture to the stage...

so I decided to get closer...

...and closer
