Howdy Pilgrim

Feeling burned out and don't know how to get out of your funk?

Try this - the next time you go on a journey, consider it a pilgrimage. It can be a journey to the store down the street, a holiday trip to the in-laws, or your next vacation.

A pilgrim is typically defined as someone who journeys in foreign lands. What is a more foreign land than your in-laws home?

In order to be a pilgrim, the next time you are out, take the opportunity to keep your mind open to experiencing something - anything - new. It doesn't have to be something huge. Just the fact that you make it a goal to be open to a new experience will change your attitude to be more positive.

How often do we not even see doors that may be open all around us because we were singular in our purpose or had a negative attitude.

Literally, stop and smell the roses.
Donate a dollar to a cause you believe in.
Hold the door open for a fellow human being.
Be open to receiving something positive from the universe.

Let the driver of that other car cut in front of you. If you get upset, he owns you. If you let it slide, you remain in control. Why would you let someone own you over such a petty item. You are better than that. And besides, courtesy is contagious. Spread some courtesy and feel good about yourself for doing so.

Being positive and sending out positive vibes will attract more positives into your life.

Pick one thing to be happy for in your life each morning when you get up and it will start your day on the right note.
