My name is Shelley Harris, a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach, Mentor, Publicist and an OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network) Ambassador. I live just outside of Toronto, Canada and I recently returned home from California. I attended the OYOU Conference in Los Angeles, and had Breakfast with Devon Franklin, Private Lunch with Oprah Winfrey, and attended an after party with Iyanla VanZant. The greatest lessons were learned from the greatest teachers. Each one had a profound impact on my life. Oprah called the OWN Ambassadors “Carriers Of Light”.
BUT...Life wasn’t always easy, I came from a place of sadness and trauma. As a child I was forced to live in victim mode, but over the years I knew I was more then my story. Throughout my life I continued to make the right choices, and decisions. I knew I was in control of my life and actions, it was up to me to shape my destiny, and create a new story. Even as a child, I remember forcing my parents to take me to church to be baptized. One of my saviors was throwing myself into sports and volunteering. These were my choices, and that is how I stayed true to myself. Just because a certain life has been dictated to you, it is up to you to choose your path.
Here are 10 ways to keep positive in the hard world we live in.
- The words you give life to good or bad will come to light. If your recordings in your head are of positive nature, you will have a positive outcome. If your thoughts are negative you need to change the channel in your mind.
- Stay in a positive mindset, re-play the good in your life. Whether it was Grandma’s fresh cookies, a promotion, or in my case a private lunch with Oprah Winfrey, play it over and over until the negative thoughts leave your head.
- Do a people check, look at the people in your life, if the people you have in your life are not a positive influence you need to separate yourself. Surround yourself with positive people.
- If you don’t like something change it, if you can’t change it, then change the way you think about it
- Appreciate and Be Grateful
- Keep your DREAMS Alive
- Laugh, Laugh, and Laugh , Belly laughs are the best - For me personally at times, I use laughing as a coping mechanism
- Have a strong belief system - Your values & faith
- Think of Your Health
- Saying No Graciously
Stand In Your Light,

"Work, love & play are the great balance of our being"
This is so powerful!!! You are so right....we do choose our own path. I love #4. I've always said that if you don't like something, change it but it never occurred to me that if you can't change it, change the way you THINK about it. What an eye opener!
ReplyDeleteThank You so much for reading! There are certain things we cannot change in our life, I know for me personally it is family. I cannot change them, so I make the choice to look or accept it differently. I know they will not change so I accept them for who they are and then set necessary boundaries. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteEvery life change in the world we live in today. There are many things that contradict what we like and what we love. If we can't change it all we need to is to adjust and accept the fact that not all things will go according to our plans.
