Inspiration from Brook on Facebook! Click here

John Wooden, UCLA's Hall of Fame basketball coach, says:
"Too often we get distracted by what's outside our control. The door to
the past has been shut and the key thrown away. And you can't do
anything about tomorrow; it is yet to come. However, tomorrow is
determined by what you do today. So make today a masterpiece..."
Good
morning!
I have an interesting challenge for you to try today.
Here's how it works. Every two hours... take a 5 minute
break. Write down how much time (percentage-wise...a rough
estimate is fine) you spent:
1. Thinking, fretting or regretting the past
2. Worrying or thinking about the future
3. Worrying about something that is happening today, or something
outside of your control
4. Taking positive, forward action today or enjoying the moment
Print that little challenge out and tape it to your
planner on your next "representative day" so that you don't forget.
Why is this important? Well this simple "math problem" equals the
amount of contentment and happiness you are creating in your life. If
you spend 80% of your waking hours on the top three items, you should
only expect to reach 20% of your "happiness level." If you spend 50% of
your time on the top three items, you can reach 50% of your happiness
level for that specific day.
Your turn: When we wonder why we feel
stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, depressed or "hopeless," this is a good
practice to revisit. This "calculation" holds our answer. Make a
concerted effort to redirect yourself to positive, forward action when
you catch yourself engaging in the top three thought patterns. Our goal
should be to be taking positive, forward action at least 90% of the
time.
Your affirmation: I let go of the
past, I am not anxious about tomorrow... Instead I trust in today, and
enjoy today, living life to the fullest.
