So, continuing on the topic of "cosmic rescuers" (people who come along just when you desperately need them and they help save the day), here is another experience that I had. I was a single mother at the time and I had to drive down the Schuykill Expressway every day to work in Philadelphia. Traffic was always very heavy when I went to work, sometimes moving slowly but other times moving very fast.

One day I was driving to work in very heavy, fast moving traffic when I felt my tire go flat. Normally, there is really nowhere safe to pull off that road, but at that moment there appeared a wide pull-off, so I pulled off and tried to figure out what to do. I had no idea how to change a tire myself and this was long before cell phones were invented.

As I was bending down looking at the very flat tire, a car pulled off the highway and a man in a 3-piece suit got out and came over to me. He pulled out from his trunk all the tools to change a tire and he proceeded to do so, dressed up in his nice clothes. I kept thanking him, but he said it was no problem. While he was in the middle of it, I couldn't believe it, but a AAA truck pulled over to us and offered to continue to change the tire. The man said thanks, but he was fine doing it. I was stunned by their generosity.

When the gentleman was done changing the tire, I offered to pay him something for his help, but he said no, he just hoped that someone would do the same for his wife, if she got in a predicament like this. Another cosmic rescuer in my life.

More on positivity. My wise husband has created "The Five Second Rule". If a negative thought comes into your head or out of your mouth, you have five seconds to turn it around to a positive, meaning to find the positive aspects of the situation.

For example, if you lose your job and are scared, realize that you'll get another job, probably a better one. If you're getting a divorce, think about the positive aspects of not having that person in your home and life, such as the end of fighting and experiencing a feeling of peace. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1997, my husband's first comment was, "This is going to be the best thing that ever happened to us." Because of his positivity, I never worried that I was going to die, I saw how supportive he was through all the treatments, and we got closer.

So five seconds to come up with a positive spin to something you thought was negative.

Hypnosis to help give you a more positive attitude? Absolutely. It probably is the best tool out there for this. During hypnosis it's easier to visualize scenes of a better future and remember and actually feel that good feeling afterwards. Also, the hypnotist can help you release the worry and bad feelings.

Most people who are worried about something are imagining or thinking about the worst case scenario happening. With hypnosis, you can reverse this to imagining and thinking about a really good outcome. According to the Law of Attraction, telling your mind good things and visualizing good outcomes is what helps them to actually happen.
