R AND R TIP #24: REFRESH your attitude
We're all very much aware how time goes by so quickly. We're more than half way through November and the weeks seem to be flying by. Much of our time and what happens in our lives is outside our control. But much of it is very much within our sights too, particularly what is happening in the present moment. Nothing is as far away as one minute ago. Nothing is as close as right now.
Today I'm sharing some tips that you can start implementing today to help improve and elevate your altitude.
Pause. Remember the old saying stop and smell the rosea? Well...stop means pause.
Breathe. Nothing helps to foster mental clarity more effectively than a few deep, meaningful breaths. (Why not take a few deep breaths now?)
Question better. You should ask yourself these two very important questions, and ask them often, What's good in my life right now? and when events happen,What's good about this situation? And then with an open mind, let your brain search for answers. Your brain will come up with great answers, because these are great questions. Now do the math: Great questions + great answers = great attitude. Bad questions + bad answers = bad attitude.
Remember more things that really matter. Close your eyes for a moment, and think about a time when everything seemed to be going your way... Really focus on that feeling. Did you know that it's possible to experience that feeling again?
Forget things that don't really matter. Spend your valuable time focusing on what you want, and simply forget about what you don't want. Anything that you put energy into expands. And if you forget about it, it magically dissolves from your experience. What do you need to forget about and let go?
Smile more. Sure, we’ve all heard it before. But let’s not forget the importance of a smile and what it can do to change our mindset and physiology almost instantly
A smile costs nothing but gives much. It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he cannot get along without it, and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it. Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give

Smiles are free, yet pay big dividends. Your attitude ALWAYS improves when you share a smile. And if you can let it become a laugh, you'll take your attitude to a whole new level. Laugh often.
Dream big. When you were young, your dreams were BIG. But somewhere along the line, you may have had your dreams mocked, ridiculed, doubted, or even crushed. Your dreams and your imagination are the keys to a lifetime of joy, fun, and freedom. Keep your dreams alive, and spend time daily thinking about them and what actions your can start taking today in pursuit of those dreams.
Every day may not be good, but there's something good in every day

Love, Live, Laugh and Be Happy!
