“Thoughts are energy.  And you can make our world or break your world by your own thinking.” ~ Susan L. Taylor, journalist

Good morning!

For those of you who have sincerely practiced one or more of the Good Morning routines, you have likely noticed that a chipper Good Morning has a drastic influence on your morning, and therefore the rest of your day.  Just as we say that breakfast is the most important physical component of a day, I feel that a “Good Morning” is the most important emotional component of our day.  It also shows how positive thinking (even when it is difficult to do or done halfheartedly) has the power to change how we feel and impact those around us.  Don’t let that attitude fade away after your “Good Morning,” though.  Make a consistent effort to keep your positive energy flowing throughout the day.

Your Turn:  Say several “Good Mornings” today!  Each time you eat, say “Good Morning” afterward to remind yourself of the power of positive thinking.  If you think a negative thought, talk back to it!  Research has shown that it takes twenty-seven positive thoughts to counteract the power of one negative thought.  Today, keep talking and thinking positive thoughts until you tip the scale to a positive mindset for the majority of the day.

Today’s Affirmation:  I am a positive person, spreading positive and hopeful energy to all I come into contact with.

 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?
