How To Change Your Life In One Day

In the film, The Wizard of Oz, Glinda the Good Witch of the North, tells Dorothy, “You always had the power my dear, you just had to learn it for yourself”. Or in other words, Dorothy just had to look within.

I believe what Glinda said applies to all of us: We all have the power to get where we want to go, because it’s within our power at any moment of any day to make huge transformations in the way we view things and to alter the course of our lives. Whether you realise it or not, you have complete control over your internal world.

While it’s true that external shifts like really big life changes might not happen in a day, internal shifts can happen in a matter of moments. Of course, we cannot control the big things that happen outside of our lives, but we can control how we react to them, and how we control our inner lives.

Everything starts in our minds and you have the power to make the magic shifts required that can change everything in your life, starting today …. Here are a few steps to radically transform your life in no time at all.

Decide to Change your Mood

Make a decision to let go of anger, frustration, boredom and negativity today. Decide to adopt a more positive way of thinking. In order to keep this decision in the forefront of your consciousness, remind yourself by wearing something you don’t normally wear – a ring for example. Every time you notice it, repeat an affirmation such as “Today I choose to keep my thoughts positive and direct my energy towards happiness and peace.”

Count your Blessings

Regularly take a few moments to really appreciate all that is around you and give thanks for all the wonderful things you have in your life – nothing is too large or small. This automatically raises your vibrational frequency to a higher level and you’ll attract more abundance and happiness. Repeat an affirmation such as “Thank you for all the beauty in my life.”

Consciously Enjoy Life

Today, find a reason to be joyous and childlike. For example, as I write this article, today is Earth Day and we’re being asked to go outside and photograph ourselves amongst the cherry blossom that’s so abundant at this time of the year and share it on social media. It not only lifts our spirits, but others too! Affirmation “I remember to seek out joyous experiences each day!”

With past sell-out solo exhibitions, Jamie Primrose is regarded as one of Scotland’s most prominent, sought-after contemporary painters. His outstanding investment paintings are continually in demand by a discerning and expanding UK and international clientele, with critical acclaim, plus he has over 40 highly successful solo collections to his name in Edinburgh and London. However, the talented artist has a wealth of in-depth knowledge of North Edinburgh – a huge inspiration for his latest exhibition of 50 magnificent oils of the local area on next month at The Dundas Street Gallery (Friday 4th – Saturday 12th June). Having grown up in Trinity and been schooled at The Edinburgh Academy – before leaving for many years for a fine art degree at Newcastle University (1990-94), world travels and work in London – his emotional connection and childhood affinity to the area was reawakened on returning to the capital in 2003 to become a professional artist. Fascinated by the fleeting nature of light, he now paints daily from his Stockbridge studio, beautifully capturing luminosity, colour and

through the trees onto their pathways, he features serene shimmers on their sparkling ponds (see pic to the far left) in the early morning and late afternoon. Continuing his water theme along The Water of Leith, the talented painter leads us on a delightful tour (remembering childhood walks) from the Colonies to beyond The Dean Village, expertly portraying tranquil ripples along the way (see pic to the left). Likewise, then onto the crystal-clear, silent sheen of stillness on The Shore in Leith nearby, with light and shade on the surrounding architecture skilfully crafted in his glorious depictions at sunrise. Then heading eastwards to further coastal shorelands of the Forth, in his work the highly collectable artist evokes fond memories of evening walks around Newhaven Harbour with vibrant sweeping cloud formations above the lighthouse and boats gently bobbing in the bay (see pic above). Next, Portobello Beach at dawn and dusk offers magnificent, dreamy skies with gleaming watery reflections on its iridescent sands below. Moving westwards, the shore at Cramond is bathed in a sparkling, wintry play of light, with delightful, soft ochre and umber hues. Finally, the iconic Forth Bridges are strikingly portrayed from the north and south, with rich fiery sunsets creating sensational reflections and breathtaking vistas. These superb, collectable artworks highlight Primrose’s ongoing passion for the surrounding locality and this exhibition is not to be missed. N.B. To ensure an enjoyable exhibition visit, all expected gallery safety measures will be in place as per government guidelines. “Jamie Primrose has an incredible feel for the light of his native Edinburgh”
