#36 See a rainy day as a Fresh Start!
How to get yourself in a Flip Flop State of Mind #36, See a rainy day as a Fresh Start!
It is easy to let a rainy day get you down, but try to look at it from a different perspective for a change.
The rain washes away all the dust, dirt, etc. Why not let that be a signal for us to wash away all the old dusty thoughts, all the build up in our lives that could use a good washing! Don't you love the smell of a fresh rain shower? Such a clean, fresh fragrance! Next time it rains and you smell that familiar refreshing smell, I hope it triggers something in you to start fresh, with a new attitude! A Flip Flop State of Mind perhaps!
#35 Pull up your Relationship Grades !
How to get yourself in a Flip Flop State of Mind #35 Pull up your Relatioinship Grades!
The best way to get yourself in a Flip Flop State of Mind is to get someone else in a Flip Flop State of mind! How would you grade yourself on a letter grade scale as a Friend, Spouse, Parent, Child, GrandChild, GrandParent, Aunt, Uncle, Neighbor, Co-worker etc. ? Would you get High Marks? Need some improvement? Or, would you Fail miserably? I believe at different times of our lives we would grade ourselves differently. Sometimes we are too hard on ourselves in our own grading system, sometimes we are so self absorbed that we would flatter ourselves with an undeserving higher letter grade. Think about the relationships in your life and how you can improve your grades! Look at it as a new Quarter in life and you have a chance to pull up your grades with just a little effort, a bit more focus, maybe a little extra credit can make all the difference!
Consider how the people in your life that you care about will benefit from this effort.You can most certainly help them get in a Flip Flop State of Mind and you too!

#34 Keeping a Life Balance
How to get yourself in a Flip Flop State of Mind #34 Keeping a Life Balance
In our lives, it is so easy to get out of balance, not paying attention to the important people and things in our lives, getting caught up with work, projects, etc. can get us off balance.
We have so many areas in our lives that need attention, sometimes it is a challenge to keep it all together. I found a great quote from Leonardo Da Vinci about this " Every now an then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work, your judgement will be sure; since to remain constantly at work will cause you to lose power of judgement. Go some distance away because the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance, and a lack of harmony of proportion is more readily seen." Putting our lives in perspective, declutter, focus, enjoy! Summer is a great time to take Leonardo's advice, get away and find your balance! Hey, when you are taking off some time to find your Life Balance that I like to call A Flip Flop State of Mind, don't forget your Flip Flops!!!

#33 Sing your heart out!
How to get yourself in a Flip Flop State of Mind #33 Sing your Heart out!
A great way to get yourself in a Flip Flop State of Mind is to Sing! Yes, Sing your heart out, loud and strong! My whole family loves to sing and we do it often!
Music can really alter our mood, so get a great song and Sing till your heart is content! Rock out to your favorite Old TIme Rock and Roll, mellow out with some good Jazz, or a classical escape might be more your thing, shag your way into bliss with some Beach Music, or kick back and enjoy some down home Country music! Whatever your musical preference, one thing is for sure, Music Rocks!
A little shy when it comes to your singing voice? Try the car for your safe performing haven! Belt it out going down the interstate and nobody has to know about your sectet crooning! How about a Car Wash?! Now, you can really pull out all the stops there! Your own private concert in the Suds!
So cut loose and sing your heart out! This will surely get you in a Flip Flop State of Mind!

#31 mountain or mole hill?
How to get youself in a flip flop state of mind #31 mountain or mole hill?
Have you heard the expression Don't make a Mountain out of a Mole Hill? Well lets think about this, do you make a bigger deal out of certain situations than needed? Do you find yourself getting in an absolute tizzy over things you probably shouldn't? How about if we started with one situation that we could defuse and see how it goes? So many times we get on our high horse, so determined to be wronged in some way that we blow things out control quickly. Yes, I said Determined to be Wronged, having the need to blame, feeling victimized, so much that everything about the situation gets amplified to the point we can't get a grip on the moment, making mountains out of mole hills.
Think about your own life with your boss, co-workers, wife, husband, children, parents, friends, can you be honest for a moment and evaluate your behavior? Are there situations where you have made a bigger deal of a slight, a possible misunderstanding, even a true bad on the other person's part? That if you just pulled back a little, have some self restraint, could it have possibly been a better outcome? Let's face it, relationships are sometimes tough, but in the tough situations, all we can control is ourselves, the way we behave and the way we react to others' behavior. In a world were relationships are not valued as much as they should be, relationships have become so disposable, let's try recycling, renewing, mending. In the non ending quest to get in a Flip Flop State of Mind, lets once again take baby steps to enrich our lives, calm our lives, lessen chaos as much as We can.

#28 Embrace Spring Flowers!
How to get yourself in a Flip Flop State of Mind #28 Embrace Spring Flowers!
It's Spring! Get out and enjoy all the blooming flowers, plants and trees!!! Observe all the colors and textures. Visit a local Garden and take in the aroma therapy! Take a long look at the petals of a flower, it is just amazing to see all the detail. So interesting to see the different kinds of foliage just in our yard alone, not to mention what we see on a walk in our neighborhood. If you do take a walk or a bike ride and have it be your mission to pay attention to the flowers on your journey, you will be so suprised at the good feeling you come away with in the end. We can so easily get bogged down with everyday life that we miss the simple beauty all around us, what a gift from God. Just looking out of my office window right now, I see a dozen different colors of green in the trees and bushes and grass. We can be so oblivious to joy sometimes, let's change that today! It's Mother's Day weekend and let's appreciate all the Mothers including Mother Nature!
So, get on your Flip Flops, give thanks and get in a Flip Flop State of Mind!!!
