Make it a Great Day

It's morning and you wake to the smell of fresh coffee, birds singing, and think to yourself this is going to be a great day! I'm going to do this and accomplish that and enjoy my day. All smiles you start your amazing day.

It is easy to wake up and look forward to your day and start off on a positive note and then all of a sudden something happens and your positive attitude starts to show negative edges....the first sign that you are about to sabotage your Great Day.

You start thinking "It's Going to be One of Those Days". That statement constructs your own self-fulfilling prophecy and you will find tons of evidence to support your newly constructed fable of a bad day. Someone will hold you up in traffic - see, I told you it's one of those days! Or, your boss will call you and want you to come to her office - yikes! - one more layer to your one of those days fable. Can you see the pattern of supposed negative events that you are setting in motion to sabotage your day?

Other examples of negative thoughts becoming your personal truth and affecting your happiness - no one likes me - I'm sure he/she is having an affair. If you believe either of these statements to be absolutely true, you will stack up all sorts of pre-conceived, mythological evidence to prove it!

The Solution is Within You

Next time you find yourself stacking up all the evidence to support your It's Going to be One of Those Days fable, stop, and see the positive alternative:

Perfect! While I'm stuck in traffic I can listen to great music!

{Smile} She wants to compliment me on the report I finished last week.

What new challenges will be given to me today?

Every bullet point of proof, every negative nuance that you add to your personal fable erodes your happiness, peace of mind, relationships and negatively impacts your Great Day!

It's your Great Day and yours alone. Keep it by being positive and looking at what is possible as opposed to what is not.

You are in charge of your mind, therefore your results!
