#1 Stay Positive, Stay Sane in the Mundane

Like I said in the last post, the first week of the Covid 19 shutdowns, I was so sad.  There were so many cancelled plans.  Now, I am trying to stay positive, along with you.  So, I would like to share some tips that have helped me stay sane in the mundane.

I’m enjoying hearing tips from some of you, including: reading the Psalms, watching for the first Full Moon of spring on April 7th, reaching out to people that you haven’t talked to in a while, doing multiplication with clovers, doing DIY projects with online teachers...

My #1 tip is to STAY POSITIVE. For me, this means focusing on the good, instead of thinking negatively.  I have to list my blessings or things that I’m thankful for.  I read a book about doing just that by Ann Voskamp, called One Thousand Gifts.  She has been through a lot in life, but chooses to be thankful.  I don’t usually write down a list, just keep my mind on positive things.

P.S. I added a sermon today (April 5th), in the next post that really focuses on being thankful. 

• Philippians 4:8 (NASB)

  Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.
