re-Balance Your Emotions

  

At times when I seem to lose my emotional balance, and things momentarily get out of control, I look for simple ways to give me a little boost. I look for simple tasks that are not uncomfortable or that will take up much time. The point is to give you a easy time during stressful, unbalanced times. These are some of the tasks I found to work for me. 

1.  First, I look around, just remember you start with nothing, and everything you see, you created. Sometimes we loose our feeling of self-worth when something goes wrong. Just remember you did it before and you can do it again.
2. Remember your last (or greatest) success and think about it for sixty seconds. Taking in your success as often as possible will help you reach another and another. Quite simply, it reminds you that if you've done it before, you can do it again.
3. Look at any diploma,trophy, or certificate of achievement that you have earned. And if it isn't framed and on the wall, frame it . These are reminders of your accomplishments, and taking in your success is important to maintaining your self-esteem.
4. Wash your hands and face and brush your teeth. It cools and cleans the parts of your body that you use most frequently, which is relaxing, and gives you that "fresh start" feeling.
5.  Shoes take a day or two to release any moisture they have absorbed, so Put on clean socks and some shoes that you haven't worn in a few days. This is a very easy way to put a little pep back into your step.
6.  Wash your car, inside and out. Hey, when our wheels are shiny, we feel better. If you don't think this applies to you, just remember how you felt the last time you got a ride in someones very dirty car. 
7.  Organize your closet and get rid of anything that no longer fits. Old clothes may come back into style, but you really don't want them on hangers for the next 10 years. Throwing out the old makes room for the new. For some, the feeling they get from putting on a new outfit fills them with pride.

Like i mentioned earlier non of these should be time consuming or hard tasks. Try any of these or all when you feel you are not performing 100%, I use these tools on the regular basis and I very happy.
