Feeling Good Tip of the Day ~ Bring on the Sunshine

by

“If you’re looking to improve your mood fast, walking outside is one of the quickest and easiest ways to do so. Exposure to the sun boosts serotonin production, which explains why some sufferers of depression notice a worsening of symptoms during the winter months. Less time spent out in the sun can lead to a drop in serotonin, resulting in depressed mood, anxiety, and low energy. . . . Spending a few moments in the sun during peak hours relieves stress and reenergizes the body and mind. Time outdoors will be all the more beneficial if you can sneak in a short walk, ideally somewhere close to nature.” Source

 

NOTE: I live in south Texas where we get lots of sunshine. When it’s cloudy for several days in a row I can sense a great change in the mood of the folks around me. When the sun returns everyone seems happier. I like the feel of sun on my shoulders when I walk. Sunshine has a therapeutic action on humans. It’s best to keep our sun exposure in moderation, but try to enjoy a few minutes every day in the sunshine, you’ll feel better.

Get Out in the Sunshine for Lunch. You’ll be Happier

Getting outside in the sun was key to staving off misery — people who ate in parks had a more positive attitude about their jobs than those who chowed down at a restaurant or at home. Eating lunch at your desk can be a real downer, report scientists from the University of Sussex who measured the happiness of employees after they ate lunch in different locations.  The results showed that workers were happiest about their work when they ate lunch on the beach and least happy about work when they ate at their desk.

Step outdoors for a few minutes to pull some weeds, sit in the sunshine, or just get some fresh air. Research shows that time outside can give you more energy, a better memory, and less anxiety. Even if you’re in a city, notice trees, flowers, and parks. Soak up nature to give yourself a boost.

Today’s Positive Thought ~ The Sun is Still Shining

by

“Behind the clouds is the sun still shining (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow).”

We all have tough moments and tough days. Sometimes the tough times stretch out seeming to never end. Tough moments, tough days, and tough stretches all have a time limit. They’ll end. The clouds will break and the sun will shine.

Today’s Positive Thought ~ How do You Choose to Live?

by

““Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Each day we have a choice as to how we choose to live the day. We can live it in the gloom and despair, wallowing in self-pity. Or, we can “live in the sunshine, swim the sea and drink the wild air.”

A Better Life ~ Shine On!

by

Good morning, Sunshine. C’mon, show me your smile. That’s it, make your smile grow from ear to ear. Put some upbeat music on, the kind that makes you want to dance and sign along. Go ahead and spread your arms out wide and give a hearty, heart-felt thank you for this day. You are going to light it and nothing, no nothing can stop you.

What If . . .

by

What if I find myself in the middle of a tough day? No matter how tough the day, the tough part will end. It’s part of the natural course of life. It may not end as quickly as I want it to, but it will end. There is a better day waiting ahead for us. It we patiently endure, we will leave the tough times behind us and embrace the sunshine once again. 

Today’s Good Word ~ Sunshine

by

l lived in a northern climate where I experienced long periods of cloudiness. There were times when the clouds seemed so thick I thought that I’d never feel the sunshine again. When the weather pattern changed and the clouds released their grip the sun flooded the area. The bright sunshine renewed the spirit of people oppressed by the gloomy weather. We have opportunities every day to be the sunshine in someone’s life. We can lift the gloom that surrounds them. Brighten the corner where you live. We need your sunshine.

Today’s Good Word ~ Storytelling

by

Everyone loves a good yarn. When we listen to a good storyteller the storyteller transports us into the story. We feel as if we are a part of it. In reality, each of us is a storyteller. We go to work on Monday and tell stories of our weekend. We tell stories of our family. We tell stories of our dreams. Throughout our day we are telling stories. We can tell stories of the darkness in our lives and we can tell stories of the sunshine in our lives. The more we tell and retell the good stories, the ones that light us up, the more we will be inspired to create similar stories.
