Ever hear an old song and it stirs a new idea? Recently I heard the Beach Boys song, "Wouldn't It Be Nice," and it gave me an idea. Hearing the words had me thinking of how fun it would be to have a surprise or shift. Had me smiling just by singing along.
When feeling a bit down or distracted, ask yourself what would be nice. Like, "Wouldn't it be nice if somebody contacted me about a new project?" or, "Wouldn't it be nice to hear from an old friend?" or, "Wouldn't it be nice when I’m not feeling good, if somebody called with a happy thought?"
Starting a new goal, dream or project can be stressful and it's important to have some tricks to be able to get your mojo and energy flowing.
Try This: Wouldn't It Be Nice
With a mental trigger, you can move your mind and mood into alignment with joy, happiness, excitement, and expectation. These feelings help you attract more positivity into your life that opens you to more success. From a couple great songs, come up with positive endings you want to see happen and that make you smile:
- Wouldn't it be nice if…
- I'm dreaming of a...
- How will I know...
- Do you believe in magic...
As a simple exercise, it is very effective in quickly shifting your mind and mood. Plus, it's a lot of fun to sing those oldies, right?
