Singing in the Rain

... Yeah right. Rain at this time of the season can be so depressing, because we know it's going to be here for a long while! I googled "how to stay positive," and I summarized a little list of what we can do to keep positive without our BFF, the SUN.

1. Make lemonade! Yes, really. The smell of fresh citrus fruits often gives a boost to chemicals in your brain, making you feel happier :)

2. Start a new exercise such as Yoga or Tai Chi.

3. Go play in the kids toy section at your local Walmart. Pick up a bright bouncy ball or other fun toy.

4. Take photographs. Go find beauty in the land around you and take some great snapshots. Decorate your walls with them!

5. Listen to upbeat music

6. Google "Positive Quotations" Example:

"There are always flowers for those who want to see them."
- Henry Matisse

7. Meditate. Through research we have learned that our brain changes when we practice meditation. Meditation helps combat stress, improves physical health, makes you sleep better, feel happier and feel more at peace with yourself.

8. Read a great book! May I recommend "Leadership & Self-Deception," it's an amazing read, and will change your outlook on those around you.

Hope everyone is able to stay positive in this dark, dark world we are plunging into! If anyone has any other tips, let me know, and I will post them. We need all the help we can get!
