Going to the Jersey Shore for awhile. Be back in a couple of weeks. Just in time to pay the vet to look over my two kitties. And for the orthodontist to torture two of my kiddies. We recovered from "phase one" of literally stretching their tiny little mouths out. Now within months they are entering "phase two". Phase two was a bit more pricey than phase one. For two kids with small mouths the grand total for both phases is over $12,500. That doesn't include what I've paid to have many of their baby teeth ripped out by the oral surgeon....
It all sounds so terrible, but really I'm glad that I have the money to give them the gift of a normal looking mouth. With my kids it wouldn't have been just a question of cosmetics. Their teeth were desperately overcrowded. I keep checking kiddo number three's mouth. Not looking so great...

For now I will just focus on V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N!!!

Everyone has days when they are down, worn out, overcoming anxiety and just not feeling all that happy.
That's OK, you need to have days like this, otherwise how would you know when you are happy. You need to have something to contrast your happiness with. What is black without white?
Even though you know that sadness (overcoming anxiety) is a part of life, let's try to make it a small part of life.
With that said, here are a few tips to help you feel better when you are feeling down in the dumps. They are easy to do, easy to practice every day and they work!
1. Stand up straight, sit up straight. When your body is in alignment your energy can flow and when your energy is flowing freely, you can flow.
2. Smile! Yes, just smile. Easy to do and effective.
3. Repeat positive affirmations. Things like "I feel good", "Positive energy flows through my body", "I see the good in all".
4. Listen to some music that you like. It doesn't have to be anything specific, just something you enjoy. Certain types of music work better than others, but experiment and see what works for you. Studies have shown that Classical music and new age music work best.
5. Take some time out for yourself, relax and read a book, do something for yourself.
6. Meditate. Meditation is an excellent habit to develop. It will serve you in all that you do. If you are one who has a hard time sitting still, then try some special meditation CDs that coax your brain into the meditative state. Just search for "Meditation music" on Google or Yahoo and explore.
Our outside work is simply a reflection of our inside world. Remember there is no reality just your perception of it. Use this truth to your advantage. Whenever you are sad, realize that it is all in your mind and you do have the power to change your perception.
These tips will lift you up when you are down, but don't just use them when you are sad or overcoming anxiety . Try and practice them everyday, make them a habit. You will be surprised at how these simple exercises will keep the rainy days away.
On a final note, if you are in a deep depression that you can't seem to shake, please go see a doctor. This is your life and don't take any chances. overcoming anxiety
