Recently, over lunch during an Above the Line Living training, the question came up about staying—and returning—Above the Line. When we touch that open, expansive space where we feel creative, loving, accepting of ourselves and others, fully alive, etc., how do we keep the feeling? And what can help bring us back there when we lose it?

Here are a few suggestions and ideas from the Minneapolis Fall 2008 Above the Line Living participants:

1.    Being aware—choosing not to live in denial.
2.    Choosing your perspective—knowing you can always reframe a situation.
3.    Self-care and self-love—remembering that we can only give away what we ourselves have.
4.    Appreciation and gratitude.
5.    Having fun, taking life lightly.
6.    Connection to nature.
7.    Connection to other people.
8.    Movement, dance, walking, running
9.    Music
10.    Art
11.    Being open to the possibility of change
12.    Setting an intention
13.    Meditation
14.    Therapy
15.    Life coaching
