Good morning!
While my mother and I were chatting recently, she
reminded me of something I had done as a little girl. Every once in a
while, she would see me stop for a moment and close my eyes as if
intently concentrating on something. One day, when I was doing this
after lunch, she asked me what I was doing. I informed her that, "My
day isn't going that good, so I am starting it over." I don't know
where I learned the skill, but it has served me well.
A while ago, I was being interviewed by a Penn State Researcher
studying the minds of media entrepreneurs. Toward the end of the
interview she asked me, "What keeps you going during the bad days?" I
didn't pause for a second before responding, "I don't have bad days."
While there are moments during the day that can be challenging or
troubling, very rarely do I let that moment seep into the attitude of
the entire day. If my morning is challenging, then come lunchtime, I
take a moment to clear my mind and "restart my day" anticipating
nothing but the best for the afternoon. Surely, there is joy to be
found each and every day. If we let a challenging circumstance set the
stage for the entire day, we miss
that joy and the opportunity of the day at hand.
Your Turn: When you face a
challenging day this week try the technique of "restarting your day."
Your Affirmation: Each day brings
joy, fulfillment and love. |
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?"
