LIFE Strategies: Easy ways to have a happier life!

Hello Friends,

Wow what an empowering show! If you missed it, please be sure to go to the Outreach Today archives and listen to it.  The experts on today's show really made me feel empowered to do something "today" to make my life better.

Dr. Pamela Love shared advice on minimizing the regrets in our lives. One of the chapters in her book "It's All About Love: Living Your Purpose In Spite of Your Past," that really struck me dealt with forgiveness. Dr. Love gave some tips on forgiving those that have hurt you and I wanted to share them with you. They are:

1. Meditate

2. Visualize something different, "stay in the present"

3. Embrace your feelings, don't deny them

4. Self-talk; tell yourself “I can do this"

5. Give yourself daily positive affirmations

6. Commit your feelings to paper (journal) 

Another thing I am guilty of and I'm sure many of you may be as well, is having to many "buts" in our lives. You know reasons why we can't/aren't doing something to make our lives better.  The "would-a, could-a, should-a's" in life.  Dr. Love says you have to take risks. If it doesn't work out try something different.  She says there are lessons to be learned in each experience and it’s necessary to go through it in an effort to get to where you need to be.

Wow. So true isn't it..
