DO OVER! Start again. Every day is a chance to start anew! Are you in a black hole? Work on getting out, because that light at the end of the hole is just waiting for you to embrace it! Yes, I am one of those "bright side" people. (I can feel the groans and eye rolling from some of you.)

Last Tuesday, I got real sick. Yuck. It was miserable.

I was a "victim". Trust me, I tried to look at the freakin bright side of hacking my lungs out, feeling like passing out, not sleeping, doing nothing, getting to know phlegm really well. Oh yeah, I tried to find the bright side.

But, honestly - I DIDN'T.

Nope. I just got annoyed and angry.

And yes, I am well aware of the fact that I am a yoga teacher, and we are all supposed to be healthy and positive and sunshine coming out our butts...blah blah blah. But - when I am tested with sickness - the bad Andrea comes out.

BUT -

TODAY - Finally, because of some wonderful advice from a yoga friend...the good Andrea returned.

He told me to figure out why I was sick. He said don't get angry, realize that the sickness is there to clean out what needs to be cleaned out.

That made sense.

Instead of getting angry, I observed and understood why it was inside of me.

So, as the day went on,

I started to EMBRACE feeling better. I became grateful for everything I could.

When you really start changing your perception, and really become thankful for all the little things around you - it all starts to multiply, and your body responds.

So -

Whatever is happening with you, if it is something stuck inside of you like a sickness, or a stuck emotion -

UNDERSTAND WHY IT IS THERE. Know why it is happening.

Then -
Begin to appreciate whatever you can. The little, simple stuff.
This will multiply.

This works with sickness, or anger, or sadness, or anything else that keeps you stuck in the hole.

You can get out!

That light of gratitude is waiting for you.

Peace
Andrea
