Feeling uplifted
I was at a women's business networking event a few days ago. It was really good to meet up with people there, some of whom I'd met before, others who were new to me, and nearly all of whom shared the joys and frustrations of working for themselves.
Perhaps the best thing about the event was hearing the speaker, Ann Martin, talk to us all about, to put it bluntly, getting off our arses and making some changes in order to achieve what we want to achieve.
Ann is an amazing, dynamo of a woman who runs her own networking group for women, alongside all the training and mentoring she does for small businesses. Most of all, she's always inspiring and uplifting - fabulous gifts which she uses to great effect in all her talks.
It's great to come across people who are positive, motivating and inspiring. And it's one of the best ways to keep ourselves uplifted and positive. It can be so easy to slide down that awful spiral of feeling negative, getting caught up in a world that just feels to bring us down. Perhaps our work isn't going as well as we'd like, or our family are jarring on our nerves, or the weather is bad, or our finances aren't as great as we'd like.
Yet, spend a few minutes with someone who's positive and inspiring (as long as we have ears to hear), and our view of the world can change dramatically. Suddenly things seem brighter, we begin to notice the good things around us, and we feel motivated to action.
I'd definitely recommend it! Take a long, hard look at who you spend time with and seek out those who leave you with a smile on you face. Then use that positive energy to spread some more good vibes to those around you, so that powerful, uplifting force gets passed on.
Actually, thinking about it, it we all did more to seek out and then pass on those powerful, uplifting vibes, soon our world would be a much more positive place.
So, how about it?
