When things go wrong, it is easy to get into a bad mood and that bad mood has a way of affecting our life for days to come. In the same way, when we feel badly about ourselves, we tend to act in ways that can negatively influence the next several days. While it is important to allow ourselves to feel what we feel, we do not have to completely surrender to a dark mood or feelings: the more we simply allow and accept our darkness as one part of the picture, the more easily we can also allow and accept our light. We can temper our grey moods with an injection of sunshine sending good wishes to ourselves for the next 24 hours.
If you feel a bad mood coming or have negative feelings, take a moment to acknowledge that, and recognize that things can and will change, and that you can still have a good day, or a good week... This is a great way to support yourself when you are working through tough times and hard feelings. When you visualize good things for yourself, you are sending yourself love and warmth, as well as encouraging yourself to keep going.
Before you even get out of bed in the morning, you can take the time to send good wishes to yourself all the way through to the next morning. Take the time to fill in the details—where you are going, who you will see, what you will do—and send love and good wishes ahead to yourself, as well as everyone you encounter. It will be like arriving in a new place and finding that an old friend has sent a bouquet of flowers from back home to welcome you and remind you that you are loved.....
