81 to 90 – Take a shower, write some affirmations, & start the “Take Out Your STINKING Trash” Exercise

61 to 70 – Do Building Block 4 – Positive Thoughts

Go to a quiet place, get comfortable, close your eyes, and try to clear your mind. For about 2 minutes, take slow, deep breaths and visualize that you are inhaling peace and exhaling stress.. For the next three minutes:

–	Reflect on the thought, notice how you feel about the thought and what emotions you are tying to it. What positive emotions or feelings come out of the experience?
–	Repeat the thought again and again slowly as you consider its meaning in your life.
–	Concentrate on feelings of thankfulness and have an expectation that great things are going to follow during the day.
–	Lastly, picture a positive event taking place in your near future. It is very important to visualize it and notice the positive feelings you associate with it. Place your crystal clear intention into God’s hands, knowing it is fulfilled.

Building Block 4 – Positive Thoughts

“Today, I release the negative thoughts that have been persistent in my mind.” Any time a negative thought of any kind comes to my mind, say, “That thought doesn’t mean anything.“

41 to 50 – Do the “Hey, SMELL This!”

This is one of my favorite exercises. My family and I do a version of this exercise January 1st every year. It is such a powerful tool so I suggest you start working on it immediately.

Before you start this exercise, you will need the following ingredients:
1 Poster Board; 3 Full Sheets of Construction Paper (Pick a variety of colors but they cannot be Red or Black); 7 index cards (or pieces of paper approximately that size); 1 pen or pencil; Tape or glue; 1 Scented marker; 1 Can of Air Freshener (Pick a Fragrance that you LOVE); scissors

Step 1 – The Hearts
The first step of this exercise is to cut out 3 large hearts from the 3 pages of construction paper. Each heart will represent a different theme: 1) Tracking your SWEET SMELLING thoughts, 2) Items you collected that reinforce your SWEET thoughts, & 3) Positive SWEET emotions you experience as a result of tracking your SWEET SMELLING thoughts. Now label the 3 hearts, 1) SWEET SMELLING Thoughts, 2) I Attracted, & 3) SWEET Emotions.

Step 2 – The Poster
Write “I SMELL Good!” at the top of the poster board. Tape or glue the hearts on the construction paper wherever you like. In the blank areas of the poster board where the hearts are not at, fill in with things you would like in your life. You can cut out pictures from magazines, use real pictures, cartoons, draw your own pictures, use words, letters, numbers, etc. Somewhere in those blank spaces you need to have a positive emotions you would like to experience. Examples include: Love, Happiness, Joy, Peace, Courage, Gratitude, etc.

Step 3 – Daily Work
In the morning, take out one of the 7 index cards and carry it with you all day. It does not matter where you go or what you do, just carry it with you all day. Do this every day for the next week.Every time a single SWEET SMELLING thought pops up, say “Thank you. Ahhh!” This means that you are now tracking your positive or SWEET SMELLING thoughts. I personally love this exercise and I am sure that you will to. Since what you focus on EXPANDS, having SWEET SMELLING thoughts bring more SWEET SMELLING things to you.

Step 4 – Updating Heart #1
At night, update the heart labeled “SWEET SMELLING Thoughts” with the SWEET SMELLING marks from the day. Start by spraying the fragrance can around the board. Take a nice breadth and say “I SMELL GOOD!” then write the date and the number of marks for the day. An example would be: 4/19 – 8, 4/20 – 13, 4/21 – 18.

Step 5 – Updating Heart #2
At night, update the heart labeled “I Attracted” if any items in the blank spaces have showed up in your life. Start by spraying the fragrance can around the board. Take a nice breadth and say “I SMELL GOOD!” For example, if you listed new phone and you received one today, then “move” it from the blank spaces to the heart. You do this by drawing an arrow and then either drawing another picture in the heart or simply spelling out what you got.

Step 6 – Updating Heart #3
At night, update the heart labeled “SWEET Emotions” if you had any really good feelings during the day. Start by spraying the fragrance can around the board. Take a nice breadth and say “I SMELL GOOD!” If they happen to be labeled in the blank spaces, move them as mentioned above in step 6.

Step 7 – Final Step
Show your poster to your friends, family members, or anyone you would like to. Before you tell them what you are doing, preface it by saying “I SMELL GOOD!” Then explain your new SWEET SMELLING poster.

21 to 30 – Listen to inspiring music (Mozart)

To help you get your STINK out, a very easy way to do this is to listen to inspiring music. For me, it is Mozart or any of the classical. You can listen to music with words but make sure they are inspiring lyrics. For me, having no words is the best because it allows my mind to soak in the beauty of the music and it always frees my mind up.

You can listen to music with words but make sure they have inspiring lyrics. I like having no words because it allows me to soak in the beauty of the music and free my mind of STINKING thoughts. For words with lyrics, I highly recommend the music from an artist in the UK named Bliss. Her music is amazing and my favorite songs are A Hundred Thousand Angels and Come Into the Light. Some other artist that provide inspiring lyrics that I like is by Olivia Newton-John, Karen Drucker, Collette Baron-Reid, and Sara Brightman. For music without lyrics, my absolute favorite is Mozart for your Mind by various artists. After that CD, it is Stephen Halpern’s Gifts of the Angelsand Ocean Suite. I also love a CD by Ed Smith titled Just Relax Maui.

Whatever works best for you, I suggest you make this part of your regular daily routine.

1 to 10 – Perform a kind deed for someone

Since you SMELL so good, it is a good idea to share it with others and what better way than to do a kind deed for someone else. A really good idea is to do at least one kind deed every day. Track it for a week and see if you can accomplish that goal.
For me, I do this exercise every day. As you incorporate doing kind things for others in your life, you will see a major shift in how you look at things. I found out quickly that doing kind things for others made me feel really good and I got the added benefit of seeing their expressions of gratitude whether verbally or with a smile.
