Joseph Pilates devised a technique of exercising called Pilates to strengthen his body as he was a frail child. Dancers were among the first to use this technique as it gave them flexibility without bulking up the muscle. Pilates soon became a favorite not only to dancers but to anyone who wanted a low intensity work out. Pilates not only helps tone your body, it also helps your mind, kind of like yoga, therefore the benefits of going to Pilate classes is endless. Pilates is becoming most popular with the older generation as it aids in rehabilitation as well as assists those that are bec

Over the past week I came into contact with quite a few people who were facing the same challenge... "How do I stay positive and focused when everything seems to be falling apart or challenging?" Some of the women I talked to were battling with unsupportive husbands or family members. Other women were struggling with gossip and negativity. Some women were fighting illness and others depression. Other were plagued by so many "minor" issues it had become a "major" weight on their shoulders.

I have been "at that place" where choosing old patterns and turning away seemed easier than turning toward challenging life to be the best it can be. Here are some of the tips and tools I have used to stay positive regardless of what is going on in my life at the moment.

Let go "of fair": Sometimes when we "get down" it is because we don't feel things are going "as they should," or that we are getting the help we deserve. We can easily focus on the injustice of the situation or what is wrong with people or the situation around us. Focusing on the external won't help you internally. Instead, focus on what you can control and how you can positively influence others.

Remember that a lot can happen in a day: Just because this moment isn't ideal doesn't mean the next moment can't be. Instead of focusing on what isn't working, be open to the idea that something great can happen today.

Count your blessings: When our surroundings or situation gets us down it is easy to count the many things wrong with our life. Switch perspectives by counting your blessings. Like attracts like. Count how many things are wrong with your life and surely the list will multiply. Count the many things that are positive in your life and they will multiply instead.

Take a break: When we are tired (either emotionally or physically) staying positive can be an uphill battle that leaves us frustrated. Instead of forcing it, take a break to recharge. Whether it is 10 minutes or a day, find some space to relax and nurture yourself. Enjoy lunch or coffee with a positive friend. If you don't have a positive friend, have lunch or coffee with a positive book or inspirational audio.

Change your perspective: "Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change." Although I don't know who said it, it remains one of my favorite quotes. Sometimes stepping back from a situation and looking at it through the perspective of others involved offers valuable new insight.

Smile.... and smile again: Smile at everyone you meet (especially strangers.) Watch how they smile back at you. Realize that regardless of what is happening right now, you still have the ability to start a chain of happiness.

Using a moisturizer can temporarily improve the appearance of wrinkles by locking in moisture on the surface of the skin. Healthy skin has a protective outer layer that keeps moisture in and harmful elements such as dirt and bacteria out. It is made up of stacked proteins surrounded by naturally occurring oils, called lipids. When these lipids are lost due to over washing, temperature extremes, wind exposure, and the aging process in general, moisture escapes and the skin becomes dry and irritated.Contrary to popular belief and the opinion of some experts, use of a moisturizer n happen today.

Find a role model: Take a break and browse biographies online or at your local bookstore. Almost every notable person you find in the biography section has overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Gather strength from the stories of others.

Help someone else: When we take the focus off of our own situation and use that energy to reach out and help others, we experience warmth and reward. Check with a local church or your community center for a short- or long-term volunteer idea. If you are unsure about approaching a local volunteer opportunity, search online for "support the military" and put together a care package or write a letter than will brighten someone's day.

Your Turn: Review the list of ideas shared this week and choose one or two to implement and create a more positive perspective in your life.
