I’m so glad the holidays are almost over, we can get back to reality and maybe the news will get on to something more positive. Enough of this negativity, doom and gloom and my gosh the world is falling down all around us.

I’m here to tell you it’s not, not by a long shot.

So let’s not wait any longer and discuss the 1st thing you can do right in improving your multiple sclerosis and mental outlook for 2009.

1. Turn off the News. Give yourself a healthy break from all the bad things being said on the news. You may not realize it, but the news honestly puts you in a fearful state of mine. Fearful of other people, the economy, the stock market, and believe it or not the weather. I’m sorry folks; the news is exaggerated to the highest degree. We are all going to die tomorrow and not make it another day. And a snow storm will wipe us all out. (In my state this may be true). Watching the news puts you in a state of negativity and anxiety (and yes MS and anxiety are bad, bad, bad).

2. Do Something Wonderful for Yourself. I’m thinking right now of the perfect get away- massage. One hour of release, relaxation, and no anxiety!

Or maybe for you it’s a trip to the movie theater, or the shopping mall, or lunch with a wonderful friend. Be nice to yourself, and look at yourself with kind eyes. If you don’t who will? Make yourself a goal of not treating yourself badly because you have MS.

3. Create a list of goals you wish to achieve this year. My friends, sit down and relax.

Think about what you want to do this upcoming year and the most important think about how you’re going to do it. Create goals on improving your disability, maybe its issues with balance, sight, or perhaps anxiety, depression. Folks, there are books you can read about relieving anxiety and exercises for improving balance, leg spasms, and the list goes on. Post these clear and written goals in a place you can see them daily. Remind yourself each day of these goals- this is so important and why most people don’t achieve their goals- THEY FORGET Structure your goals on improving yourself and reclaiming your life from multiple sclerosis.

4. Create a Mission Statement for Your Life: Who are You- have you ever asked that question? A good mission statement should be no more than a single sentence long, it should be understood by a twelve year old, and you should be able to be recited at gun point. A great book I suggest is The Path, Creating Your Mission Statement For Work and For Life.
Last but not least, (and its not even in my list) make a choice to improve yourself and start it by reading. I can’t say enough about how all the books I’ve read that have brought me out of the well of multiple sclerosis. Make a choice in 2009 to move on and reclaim your life.
