Subject: Put your mind to work, [firstname].

Hi [firstname],

A good way to start thinking positive thoughts is to use a technique called Mindfulness Meditation.

Lots of people, when they hear the word “meditation”, go screaming off into the woods!  They think it's something hippies used to do back in the 1960's, or that you have to be a Buddhist to do it properly

Wrong!

Let's get these misconceptions out of the way.  First of all, you don't have to be a Buddhist to meditate. You can meditate regardless of what faith (or none) you follow.  And you don't have to wear love beads, smoke weed or move to San Francisco to meditate properly, either.  In fact you can practice mindfulness meditation anywhere – even when you're walking down the street!
  
Put simply, mindfulness meditation simply means shutting off that constant niggling voice that you hear in your head all the time (the one that says you can't do/have/be whatever), and becoming more aware of what's going on around you – living in the here and now.

Do this for me right now… 

Put down your phone or look away from your computer screen.  Breathe deeply, close your eyes and listen.  I mean REALLY listen to what's going on around you.  Don't think about anything, just let your mind relax for a while.

What did you hear?  I'll bet you heard lots of things you didn't notice before. 

Being more aware of what's going on allows you to take more information on board – subtle things you may not have noticed before.  Your subconscious mind takes all this on board, so when the thoughts DO come again, they're likely to be much more positive than before.

Put the power of your subconscious mind to work – it's more powerful than you realize!
