"Some
days there won't be a song in your heart. Sing
anyway."
~Emory Austin
Good morning! Oh the truth in
Emory's statement.... how I wish it wasn't so!
But it is true - we have natural "highs" and
"lows" and some days there isn't a song in our
heart. So what we do on those days? How do we
embrace life and be positive on the days when
the "spark" just isn't there? We do just as
Emory suggests - we "sing anyway." And we sing
loud enough to wake up that spark. One of the
things cognitive therapy reveals is that when we
consistently "act as if" we "become." Sometimes
we have to force a behavior in order to do it
consistently enough to internalize it.
On our "down days" it is more important than
ever to en-gage in behaviors that fight the
negativity in our minds and the sadness in our
souls. You don't have to accept a mediocre day.
You don't have to accept a mediocre life. In
fact, I encourage you to accept nothing but the
best. Sure, you will have days that start out
"low." Fight back. Sing. In any given moment you
have the power to change your day. You have
undoubtedly heard the quote "Fake it until you
make it." On those "low" days, shout out your
affirmations. Write them over and over. Even if
they don't feel sincere, keep saying them. Our
words have power, and they have the power to
transform the mediocre into the magnificent.
Your Turn: Draw the rooms of
your life like an architect would draw a floor
plan. In each "room" write down what potential
you have and how you might grow.
Your Affirmation: I have the
power to transform the mediocre into the
magnificent.
