Focus on the positive
No One Came to the Workshop – It Was a Great Success!
I scheduled a Personal Totem Pole Workshop for Boston last weekend. Over the past several weeks I’ve had moments of severe anxiety – What if I give a party and nobody comes? That is exactly what happened, but the experience was a fantastic success!

Focus
Whatever you put your attention on expands in your experience. When you focus on grievances, shortcomings or pain, those qualities become more prevalent in your awareness. When you focus, instead, on beauty, love, laughter, the things you’re grateful for, these pleasures expand in your life.
Ask Yourself
When you 
are feeling unhappy, or overwhelmed, or any other negative emotion, ask yourself, “Is this how I want to be in this moment?” If the answer is ‘no’, you have a choice. Recognize that.
Then ask yourself, “How do I want it to be?” That’s all.
