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. And as always, don't forget to start your day with a heartfelt: "Something great is going to happen today... I can't wait to see what it is!" And when ending your day ask yourself: "What is one more thing I can do to make today matter? | |||||||
