According to research, 77% of the messages we get every day are negative. No wonder! Just turn on the TV, read the newspaper, get on the web\u2014and you&#8217;ll see it. There are even sites now that are for the sole purpose of putting in negative remarks. Yuk.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0So how can we stay &#8220;up&#8221; when things seem so &#8220;down?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0First, recognize what we can&#8217;t afford to do&#8230;sticking our head in the sand and not looking at the news is not an option. As professionals, we simply must stay attune to the world&#8217;s happenings. So here&#8217;s one thing I&#8217;ve started doing&#8230;and it works!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Every morning before I get out of bed, I think of five things I&#8217;m grateful for\u2014usually one is simply getting up in the morning.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Seriously, that sets the tone for my thinking more positive through the day. Then when something negative comes along, I can much more readily say &#8220;Oh well,&#8221; or at least I can keep from letting it get me into a negative mind set.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0This seems appropriate for this time of year with Thanksgiving right around the corner. Try it&#8230;you&#8217;ll like it&#8230;along with the turkey!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I am sharing a in my post a great piece from Valerie Sokolosky.\u00a0 Valerie shared this last week in her newsletter, Valerie&#8217;s Voice and I asked her if I could share it with a group I belong to and she graciously agreed.\u00a0 It was so well received I wanted to share it with you [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,1],"tags":[32],"class_list":["post-721","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-resources","category-uncategorized","tag-inspiration"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/accelerateyoursearchnow.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/721","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/accelerateyoursearchnow.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/accelerateyoursearchnow.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/accelerateyoursearchnow.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/accelerateyoursearchnow.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=721"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/accelerateyoursearchnow.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/721\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/accelerateyoursearchnow.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=721"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/accelerateyoursearchnow.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=721"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/accelerateyoursearchnow.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=721"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
