Ok, here it goes.
I want to invite all of you to do this experiment. It's fun and you have to do it on a daily basis for 30 days.
It's about feeling good. We are often surrounded by all kinds of doom and gloom, from little irritations to really upsetting things that can affect us the whole day or longer.
So what I would like you to do is when you get up in the morning to make it you dominant intent to look for good things around you. Tell yourself that this day you are going to interact with nice or interesting people, see, taste and smell lovely things and just in general look for the best in everyone, everything and anything surrounding you.
You have to make it your purpose. Make it a game for yourself.
I would like you to post some of those things on here if you will. Just tell on here what you have been doing that made you feel good, if and when something good happened, how your day went, how it made you feel etc....and I want you to milk those feelings, focus as long as you can on the thing that makes you feel good. They don't have to be great things, it can be just simple things, like you saw birds in your garden and you enjoyed seeing them playing and feeding, or you saw someone who had a lovely smile, or a cat climbing a tree after a squirrel, or you picked up a bargain in the shops. Just stuff like that. Look for these things around you and focus on them. You might think it's ridiculous, but it's no more ridiculous than focusing on all the bad stuff surrounding you (which I know everyone is very good at, so now get good at recognising all the good stuff and put your attention on that for a while)
Only put the good stuff on here. NO complaining allowed.
If you don't want to share it on here with others, then still do it for yourself and see what happens or has happened after 30 days and just see how that month has been for you. 
Well I've got something going for me! Later today I giving church a miss and going to the first auctio of the year and I can feel it in my bones, it's gonna be a SUCCESS! Yeah, man. The auctioneer welcomed me with open arms - I'm selling as well as buying this time. There's a real community spirit in this place. All the auctioneers are on first name terms with me, and this month I'm going to breal the 300 feedback barrier. I'll let you know how I get on, (if anybody'[s interested). Jesus loves me, if nobody else does! 
Follow on from late last night. Man, I'm knackered! The auction is an all-day affair - normally. Today it was standing room only - paacked to capacity. It was the first one of the year, just after Christmas so I expected it to be crowded but there must have been about 700 people in there, most staying to the end so bargains were that bit harder to come by. Worthwhile, though. Can't quite make Barbados my retirement home but you never know.
Suddenly realized again this morning my stress level has gone down now i have someone sharing the cleaning load at work. I get worked up and need to chill. My body always tells me when i am and i read the signals better now. I am intune with my bodily signals,mmmmmm thats a good feeling!!!!!!!!!!!.
Just picked up my 300'th positive feedback!! There, must be doing SOMETHING right! 
Hi guys, I'm back.
The posts have been overwhelming. 
, but I didn't expect too much to be honest, although I do hope that some of you kept doing the experiment or start it up again.
The experiment is not for me, it's for you.
I will explain the theory behind this though. I have tried and tested it, and for me it's working.
When you focus on all the positive aspects around you, and you do this deliberately and as often as you can, you automatically start to feel better. There is no magic in that of course. You can feel that inside you, it energises you. The more you focus on good stuff, fun and happy things, strangely you start to attract more of the same. You start to see more good stuff around you. Not that that wasn't there before, but you just didn't notice it as much.
There is the saying that things come in 3's. People use it in a negative way. It is actually also the other way around (and it doesn't come in 3's it can come in much more). Because of our focus on negative stuff we start to notice other negative stuff. As if we attract it. And you could say we do.
Ever started chatting with someone and they tell you something negative? Soon you will join them with all your negative stories and before you know it you sat talking for a couple of hours about all the bad and sad things that have happened to either of you and worse, your family, friends, neighbours, the world.....etc......
Have you ever chatted with someone about fun stuff? Have you noticed that this also carries on?
So how come?
Could it be that one fun story leads to another? One sad story leads to another? Of course it does! What we chat about triggers a thought which is similar. Also no rocket science.
How do you feel after a positive conversation and how do you feel after a negative one? This is important to observe. Often people don't give it the attention it should have. I don't need your answer, I know the answer. You feel drained after a heavy discussions and energised after say watching a comedy. You feel inside of you what feels good and what feels bad, what uplifts you and what gets you irritated or down. It's obvious.
So the question is now....could you somehow get more control over how you feel inside...Can you make changes in the way you think, what kind of conversations you have with others, what you watch on television, what you read in the papers, who you interact with?
You might say that you have no control over others, what they do or say or print, and you are right. You don't. But you do have the choice about listening to it, to get involved with it. You do have control over your own thoughts. So you can turn your focus away from it.
When you hear someone complaining you have a choice to turn away from such conversation and focus on something that is more pleasing. Always stay alert to how something makes you feel inside and then make the decision if you want that feeling or not.
You want to feel upset, carry on and spoil your day...or you can make the choice to feel good and make your day.
So this whole experiment is about learning to focus more and more on positive things and feel how it changes you inside. The more you do this the more you want that good feeling (it's quite addictive actually) and the more you want to turn away from that which makes you feel less than good. And the more you train yourself to do this, the better your life gets. Good feelings attract good feelings....and much more..but you will find that out yourself when you get serious about this.
I put a puzzle up for sale last Saturday for seven days - it picked up a confirmed bid less than three hours later! 
I'm just happy to be home again with my daughters, my own big bed, my own bath, my own house and my cat...and all the Mancs. LOL.
(I might be Dutch, but home is where the heart is, and that is now here in England)
No place like home.
