Dr. Rick Schaefer Shares His Secrets On How To Beat The Blues
Do you frequently find yourself overwhelmed with negative or sad thoughts? There is a simple method with which you can combat a low or negative mood, called a "Rampage of Appreciation."
(EMAILWIRE.COM, June 17, 2009 ) Dr. Rick is the Author and Creator of the revolutionary new program Extreme Thought Makeover: 37 Days to Maximum Life! He has created a new genre in learning and expanding one’s thoughts. His 37 Day Program is an interactive life coaching and healing program that combines daily emails, links to his training site, audio files, conference calls, daily lessons and daily actions steps that can transform your thinking, and thus transform your life.
Recently, Dr. Rick explained how individuals can improve their mood instantly through a simple exercise.
"Your mood correlates completely to your focus of thought in every moment. You know this because you can feel it change moment to moment as you go about your day. You win a contest, a date is canceled, your boss shows appreciation, your doctor tells you he found a lump, you leave work at the end of the day, your favorite sports team wins, your favorite player is traded away, etc," Dr. Rick explained. "All of these examples are simply thoughts that are changing for you, and thus bouncing your feelings, emotions, and mood. Here is a simple technique that you can use to elevate your mood."
The idea is to focus on bringing up the feeling and energy of appreciation as strongly as possible. Simply put your attention upon all the things you really appreciate: Your favorite moments, things, and people. Think about them, write them down, and appreciate all of your life's positive elements.
"For people whose lives have become bleak, it can sometimes seem difficult to conjure up images of things you appreciate. Sometimes, it is really the little things that can make a vast impact on one's mood. Perhaps it's the first taste of your favorite iced coffee drink first thing in the morning. Perhaps it's seeing the sun rising, blindingly bright as you drive downtown," Dr. Rick explained.
"Perhaps it is thinking of the people you love, or the people who love you. Perhaps it's crawling into bed on nights that you don't have to set the alarm. Perhaps it's seeing deer walking through the yard. Perhaps it's a technological gizmo, like an iPhone or Zune. Perhaps it's the luxury of an automobile, computer, or cable television," Dr. Rick continued.
Once you get going, it can be really hard to stop. This is called a "Rampage of Appreciation." Practicing this way of thinking squeezes out any space in your thoughts to be annoyed or irritated with anything in your life. Go ahead, grab a pen and paper and start writing. Keep going and going, and see what you come up with. Most importantly, recognize the feeling that comes with this experience: The feeling of love and appreciation for your world. Eventually, this feeling will become overpowering.
"Is the glass half-empty or half-full? The answer is what you want it to be. It is totally up to you: To your imagination, and to your thoughts. Choose wisely, and practice choosing appreciation!" Dr. Rick concluded.
