We just had a great weekend, hopefully filled with sunshine and great memories that we can reflect on to keep our day going when it gets a little tough.
But what if you don't have great reflections to keep you going. Maybe all you have is your attitude and your gratitude for life.
All of us from time to time have said these words in some fashion. Today I will try to, fill in the next part on your own.
Here are some examples:
Today, I will try to get that project done so I don't have to panic later. Today I will try not to eat that doughnut. I will try not to let my co-worker get under my skin. I will try to be nice. You get the idea. Now replace this with the following;
Today, I will get that project done so I can enjoy my evening.
Today I will not eat that doughnut, I don't need it.
I will not let any co-worker affect my mood or my love of life.
I will be nice to others and make that difference in their life.
Understand that when we say we will, we are making it so.
When we say we will try we are leaving room for failure.
So, today start your day with the I will statements.
Here is one for you to reflect on I will enjoy my day. To not enjoy a Monday is selling my life short.
Today I want to share a video, it has 20 words that if used can change your day, your attitude and your life. When each word pops up in the video. Start with I will ..... Enjoy it and I will make this day a special one for me and those who come in contact with me.
The video..... 20 Words to Change Your LIfe
Till next time....Smile : )
The new affirmation for the week fits nicely here:
I embrace this new year and I am grateful for everything that is shared with me. I succeed with ease because the energy flows with me, this energy aides me as I step further into the year. I effortlessly acquire moments of kindness and love. Love is all around and I am blessed to share my love and kindness with others. I choose to share my smile and my laughter as it improves upon the landscape of life. I always have the power of choice. I choose to make a difference I succeed in making a difference daily.
This week 98 words to inspire and to affirm each day. Say these words of magic a few times and allow them to flow into your mind and subconscious.
Watch the power of these words. The power of I choose. The power of now and today.
Use these words to make your day and the day of others a bit better.
Smiles as always sent your way. Today and always. : )
