October 18, 2015

I love carnies.  You know the Sham Wow, the Ginsu super blade, or the out of this world stain remover made from special salts from caves in Columbia.  I love being bamboozled by quick talking flashy presenters at trade shows. They fascinate me.

After the Sportsman show in Grande Prairie, I sat and thought long and hard on how one saleswoman was able to demonstrate better balance and strength by wearing a special magnetic bracelet.  Now this might be as simple as taking advantage of your center and how the force is applied to your arm, or maybe the crystal, magnet, ion combination truly does work.  Who is to say.

Fact of the matter is people are convinced on the product because the brain has said it can have a positive effect.  By typing in “the power of positive thinking and health” into a search engine reveals all sorts of studies that have proven positivity affects our health, learning capacity, adaptability, and therefore success.  And it isn’t just a little bit.  Results of studies are for the lack of a better pun….mind blowing.

Currently I am away from the Kwoon in Dawson city for work and during this time, I am working very hard at maintaining a positive outlook every single morning.  I can tell you I absolutely am seeing the difference in each day because of the attitude I have chosen to take.  I feel I have been more open to ideas, more patient, which has led to more success while at my job or training.  If you are struggling with things this year, I challenge you to just one week of positive thinking.  It starts with looking in the mirror first thing in the morning and recognizing that person you see is worth the investment.  Take an extra effort each day, and note the details of your life. The little things that are joyful, or worthy of a smile or laugh.  Right now looking at my new powerful crystal bracelet I can only help but smile.  That carnie was good!
