Monday…

How did it feel to wake up this morning? Did you wake up excited about the start of a new week? Did you wake up feeling anxious and grumpy?

Get control over your Monday! If you woke up feeling anxious and grumpy, there are 2 things you can do to change that.

1. Change what you are doing in your life immediately.  If the thought of going into your job today gives you chest pain, and you continue down that road for long enough, it will consume you.  Do not be afraid of change.  Embrace it.

2. Change your thinking about what you do!

“The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one does.”
James M. Barrie

If you simply must do what you are doing, but it has been leaving a foul taste in your mouth, you need to change your thinking.  You do have control! Start by changing every negative thought you have about what you do into a positive one.  Stop complaining about where you are, especially if you are not prepared to make a change.  Be thankful for what you have and you will start enjoying it!

There are only 2 choices.  Start your Happy Monday plan today.

Namaste!

 

Imagine that.

“Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!”
Dr. Seuss
Just “think” about what you could do! The possibilities are endless, and the only thing holding you back is you.  Let yourself imagine what you could do without restrictions or fear.  Go for it! Namaste!

Give recognition where it’s due.

Make sure you tell the people in your life that you appreciate everything they do.  People do not just innately know that you are grateful for what they do, so you need to tell them!  Recognize the people who go above and beyond for you by saying “Thank You”.  Flowers, cards, and wine are great things to send to people, but the most important part is that you are taking the time to say “wow, you do so much around here, and I really notice it, and appreciate it”.  Put a smile on someone’s face today just by acknowledging what they do.  Namaste.

Turn that frown upside down!

Force yourself to consciously smile more.  When you are driving in the car, smile.  When you are walking through the grocery store, smile.  When you are losing your mind at work, smile! You may have to physically force it sometimes by using your fingers to push your frown up… but do it! People will look at you and wonder what you are smiling at…that is your secret! You’ll change your own mood, and the moods of others around you one smile at a time.

Tasty Tuesday

Make sure you eat breakfast every day.  Your body has been starved through the night, and it needs the immediate nourishment that breakfast gives.  Eating anything within the first hour of being awake will kick start your metabolism, which will help you lose weight and give you the energy you need to start your day off right.  So, go ahead and make yourself a piece of toast, or get a bowl of cereal.  Adding a fruit will make the energy last even longer.  What could be easier than a banana?   Feed your body, and you will feed your soul.  Have an abundant day!
